About us

People first. Service first. No ego.

We’re JDS1 Marketing (the DBA of Jent Dream Solutions, LLC), a family-run company founded by husband-and-wife team Jen and Brent Nickles. We help business owners get found online and turn that visibility into real, booked work.

We started in 2022 with a simple belief: relationships should be transformational, not transactional. Be kind to your future business... and to the people you work with.

The name

JENT = Jen + Brent.

We named the company after the two of us: Jen + Brent = Jent. And the “Dream Solutions” part is personal. It’s about taking care of our six kids and building a life where each of them can follow whatever their passion is.

Jent Dream Solutions turned out to be a bit of a tongue twister. Inspired by our early mentor David Meltzer and his company Sports 1 Marketing, we shortened it to JDS1 Marketing... because it simply sounded better.

We’re a family company, and we run it that way. The energy we put into this business together is the same energy we put into yours.

The founders

Two co-founders. One team behind your business.

Co-Founder & CEO

Brent Nickles

From billion-dollar job sites to getting you found.

Brent is a mechanical engineer who spent about 20 years running major commercial construction projects, overseeing billions of dollars in work, before founding JDS1.

Today he leads strategy and SEO, and still runs every project like a job site: foundations first, a clear plan and radical transparency.

Why we started

We built the agency we wished our friends could hire.

In August 2022 we founded JDS1 Marketing after seeing too many good business owners get burned by agencies that sold big promises, sent confusing reports and stopped returning calls by month three.

So we built the opposite: a team that picks up the phone, explains things in plain English and measures success the way owners do... by calls, booked jobs and revenue.

Our clients are the people who jumped into the entrepreneur’s seat to take care of their families and build something better. We know that seat. When they win, we win.

93 businesses served since August 2022
10 industries across 9 states and Canada
36 websites built
27 five-star Google reviews
100% in-house team... no outsourcing

What we believe

How we work with you.

Transformational, not transactional
