Jaclyn Zukerman Delory

Jaclyn Delory founded Next on Scene, a firm specializing in marketing, media, and public relations, after relocating from New York to the Boston area. She began her entrepreneurial journey with a podcast in 2005, well before the medium gained widespread popularity, and grew the business over 11 years by offering media strategy and placements for clients in the fashion and beauty space. Her work has included dressing producers for the Emmy Awards, securing Entertainment Tonight features, and arranging celebrity placements. Delory also runs her own magazine and podcast, which have attracted inquiries from established media figures. She attributes her success to a combination of resilience, consistent self-care routines, and internal work to build confidence without burnout. In addition to her professional endeavors, Delory supports nonprofit organizations and, to mark her business's tenth anniversary, organized an inclusive fashion show featuring participants with disabilities, professional models, and media personalities to promote broader representation in the industry. She advises young women entering the field to prioritize internal work, confront fears through therapy or self-care, and develop the confidence needed to navigate judgment and achieve growth.
