• Hi, I'm Jessica.

    I'm a strategist with 16 years of experience helping brands turn complex topics, knowledge, and ideas into marketing that makes people feel something.

    I've been the founding marketing hire at two startups and a senior content leader at mid-size and enterprise companies. Across those roles, I built content programs from scratch, ran demand gen, launched products, and wrote for executives, flagship events, and sales teams.

    Today, I work as a freelancer, offering senior-level judgment without the ramp-up time or a full-time hire. I deliver everything from big-picture content and messaging strategy to individual campaigns. But if you're looking for someone to help you crank out 'AI-at-scale' keyword-stuffed, soulless marketing, I'll have to politely decline. I selectively use AI to speed up my process, but not to outsource my thinking.

    I believe with my whole heart that all good content starts with a compelling point of view. That's why I help brands tell stories that matter, share opinions worth considering, and show up as authentically, unmistakably human.

    If your marketing needs a sharper point of view (and a teensy bit less jargony bullshit), let's get to work.

    Customer case study

    B2B SaaS | Freight shipping and logistics

    I ran a gap analysis, and paper products had the best opportunity-to-penetration ratio, so that's where the case study program started. I interviewed Roseburg Forest Products and wrote about how they cut manual tendering by about 85%. Sales now uses it in post-demo follow-ups and nurture flows.

    Thought leadership piece

    B2B SaaS | Financial services

    I analyzed the data and wrote Hearsay's 2024 Content Study, pulling out social selling trends and line-of-business benchmarks for financial services. I also surfaced the headlines that turned it into press coverage.

    Company milestone

    B2B SaaS | Film and television production

    Fifty years of EP, from Little House on the Prairie to The Pitt. I dug into the company's history and pulled out the most human parts of how it was born, because nobody reads an anniversary post for the timeline.

    Corporate thought leadership

    B2B SaaS | Financial services

    Five barriers to long-term social selling success, from an "Ask the expert" series with Hearsay's senior leaders. In-house subject matter experts are one of the most underused assets a marketing team has, and this series put them to work.

    Executive spotlight

    B2B SaaS | Film and television production

    A profile of the company's EVP of Residuals, one of the most complicated corners of production payroll. The people behind a brand are part of why customers trust it, so I made this one about him.

    B2B SaaS | Real estate

    How one top brokerage kept ownership and leadership but handed off operations, written to showcase the value of maintaining independence within a white-label brokerage model.

    Expert-led guide

    B2B SaaS | Film and television production

    End-of-year production payroll cleanup, built from interviews with EP's payroll tax experts. I asked the specific questions that get the details right, then cross-referenced the legislation so every line would hold up.

  • Nice things people have said about me

    "I initially hired Jessica as our content manager and editor-in-chief, but quickly saw her strategic capabilities and promoted her to a senior demand gen strategist role... I always trusted that Jessica could take a strategic initiative and run it autonomously." - Kris Vann, Founder @ Richuel

  • Phew! You made it to the pitch.

    Here's what makes me a worthy investment.

    My marketing works (I've got receipts)

    • Early hire at a SaaS startup that reached unicorn status
    • Contributed $1.6M in ARR via a direct mail campaign
    • Built a lead email nurture and demand gen program that generated 600 qualified inbound leads per month
    • 30% organic traffic lift (content audit → narrative refresh)
    • Grew event reg by 40% with a revamped comms strategy

    Complicated is my comfort zone

    I've written about film and TV payroll residuals management, real estate regulations, freight tendering, sales and use tax compliance, and marketing compliance for financial services firms and healthcare organizations. If your product takes a 45-minute phone call and links to multiple .gov websites to explain, requires compliance and legal review, and you need someone who can write about it and make it make sense, today's your lucky day.

    Repurposing is my love language

    Don't make 15 net new assets! That webinar nobody rewatched is a blog series and a month of LinkedIn posts waiting to happen. I'll dig through what you've got and tell you what's worth refreshing and what's to retire.

    I bring senior level judgement on day one

    I've been the first marketing hire at two startups and a senior manager at enterprise companies, so I don't need much hand-holding. Just name your priorities, point me in the direction of the brand guidelines, and set me loose!
