PASADENA, Md. — July 16, 2026 — MOJO Creative Digital, one of Maryland's leading digital marketing agencies, today announced that Kalie Jakovics has been named Partner. As Partner, Jakovics joins the company's Board of Directors while continuing to serve as Director of Business Development. In her expanded leadership role, she will help guide the company's strategic direction, drive long-term growth, and contribute to executive decision-making as MOJO enters its next phase of expansion.
The decision, made by MOJO CEO and Founder Alexander Fakeri, reflects the company's longstanding commitment to recognizing and elevating talent from within. Jakovics joined MOJO in 2018 and has spent the past seven years helping the agency grow its client base and deepen relationships across industries. Her appointment builds on a period of momentum for the agency, which recently celebrated three internal promotions spotlighting women in leadership (https://mojo.biz/mojo-creative-digital-celebrates-three-internal-promotions-spotlighting-women-leadership).
"Kalie has been an essential part of MOJO's story for the past several years," said Fakeri. "Watching her grow from Account Executive to Director of Business Development, and now to Partner, has been one of the great privileges of leading this company. This is a recognition she has earned, and it's exactly the kind of leadership we want guiding MOJO into its next chapter."
Since joining MOJO, Jakovics has partnered with enterprise clients on web design, branding, mobile applications, content creation, and CRM integrations, delivering results for organizations including NSA, Johns Hopkins University, and Ancestry Corporate. A native of Griffith, Indiana, she holds a degree in Marketing, Business Management, and Entrepreneurship from Manchester University. She is known for her transparency, drive, and relationship-focused approach.
Kalie's journey reflects something increasingly rare in today's professional landscape: a seven-year commitment to a single company, and a company willing to invest in its people in return. From her earliest days as an Account Executive to her current leadership role, she has embodied the culture, energy, and client-first mindset that define MOJO. Her elevation to Partner continues a pattern MOJO has made central to its next chapter—recognizing and rewarding talent from within.
In addition to leading business development efforts, Jakovics oversees and hosts The Diligent Leader and Toll Talk Podcast, expanding MOJO's industry presence and strengthening its reputation as a trusted voice in leadership, transportation, and innovation. Beyond her role at MOJO, she is deeply engaged in the business and transportation communities, serving as Co-Chair of the BWI Business Partnership's Young Professionals Group (YPG), a Board Member of the Northern Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce (NAACCC), Committee Lead for the Fort Meade Alliance's Next Gen Leaders Events Subcommittee, Chair of Membership & Communications for the International Bridge, Tunnel & Turnpike Association's (IBTTA) Young Professionals Council (YPC), and a member of IBTTA's Women in Tolling (WIT) Communications Committee. Her leadership across these organizations strengthens collaboration between industry, business, and emerging professionals while expanding opportunities that benefit MOJO, its clients, and the communities it serves.
"MOJO isn't just where I work — it's my professional home," said Jakovics. "To step into ownership alongside a team I believe in so deeply is an incredible honor. I'm excited for what we're building and for everything still ahead."
The appointment marks the beginning of a broader period of growth for MOJO. More announcements will follow as the company moves into its next phase.
