Jacqueline

A fusion of independent entertainment & innovative marketing, Statusj is the culmination of a young girl’s dreams of acting, and later, her life’s professional experience in advertising, sales, public relations, marketing, human resources and career counseling.

Who is she?  Meet founder Jacqueline Lisenby, Statusj’s Chief Visionary Officer and President.

Fueled by her passion for acting and fired by her vision for an alternative, multi-platform, multi-cultural entertainment company, Statusj first emerged on the stage, literally, as Jline Productions with its first play in 2004, followed by two fashion events in 2005.  Jline Productions may well have been called, “Two Women with Big Dreams,” as during these formative years, Jacqueline had only the help and company of her dear friend (and Statusj’s Project Manager) Sherena Simons.  Together, Jacqueline and Sherena tackled each and every detail, big and small, to make the events happen.

The following year witnessed the evolution of Jline Productions into Statusj, with its 2006 production of UrbanFest (the first of what will become an annual festival) where fresh, talented urban artists filled the fairgrounds of Clarksville, Tennesee, with the sounds of hip hop, jazz, R&B, and gospel, DJs battled to be named the best, and a fashion show unlike any other lit up the stage and captured the imagination of the audience.

Again, it was Jacqueline and Sherena who handled the whole production, from the planning and advertising, to auditioning and selecting the talent, choosing vendors, and even creating events within the event, including a basketball tournament, artist showcase, and kids’ corner.

And so Jline Productions became Statusj, in recognition of the superior quality and higher level of its events and productions, and its exclusivity to those artists and entertainers of such status…that elusive & special something expressed simply as Statusj.

From creation to promotion to production,
You name it, we do it all…and then some!

As we have since that first play back in 2004, Statusj works each and every angle, anticipates and handles every last detail, finds the sponsors, writes the ad copy, and promotes with vision, whether it’s film, music, theater, or fashion.  It is what we do:  create, produce and market events, casting the cream of the emerging crop of talent, while aligning the best brands…and in doing what we do, Statusj generates an electric world where everyone involved feels the heat of the spotlight, rather than the mere glow of the limelight.  Everyone experiences celebrity status – on an indie level!

For you talented and aspiring performers, Statusj events open the doors, the runway, the stage. and the mic, giving you incredible exposure through our dynamic experiential and event marketing, while our Independent Entertainment Alliance (IEA) links all the premium players in the indie entertainment world together to connect, share, and collaborate on a completely new level!

Now, Jacqueline is ready to take her knowledge, experience, skills, connections and inspiring attitude to coach and counsel those ready to take their business to the next level.
