About Best of Lake Anna
Organized by Lake Media Group, Best of Lake Anna is an annual celebration that recognizes excellence in business, service, and community contributions throughout the Lake Anna region. Through nominations and public voting, the event highlights the people and places that make Lake Anna a truly special and thriving destination.

Hi! I’m Jennifer Bailey and I partner with entrepreneurs who have massive ideas that could change the world. Most marketing is meaningless. Filled with empty promises, its only job is to bring in new traffic, new leads, and new customers. But I’ve drawn a line in the sand, and I’ve learned that marketing can do so much more than reach business goals and build profit. My methods give businesses the fire and soul they need to reach the right people, set the groundwork for sustainable relationships, and offer true value to the people on both the giving and receiving ends of marketing.
