When Jessica takes you on as a client, you aren't choosing her. She is giving you the opportunity to work with her. I've had the pleasure of working alongside Jessica as she designed and executed a coordinated, multi-platform public figure brand launch. What stood out to me most was not just how effective she was, but how Jessica enhanced the performance of her team value by laying out her in such clear and succinct terms. Our roles not only became clearer under Jessica's hand, but she also imparted personal and industry insights that allowed each of us to understand how we could optimize our skills to generate maximum value. Jessica is simply sharp, creative, and hungry, she is also a relentlessly positive force of nature. If you ever have the chance of working with her, take it because the world will envy you.
