Bio
Jessica Mannino
Amanda was my favorite teacher at portfolio school. Her down-to-earth-ness translated immediately through Zoom and she walked the perfect line between friend / instructor. She always encouraged us to contest her POV if we felt differently, making her class a really safe space for discussion and debate over whether something was "working" or not. I think I speak for the class when I say: Amanda was someone we all wanted to impress. We wanted to show up for her. And it's because we genuinely respected her opinion, voice, and authority over all things copy; something she achieved while still being accessible, relatable, and genuine!

If the world were ending and I had to choose a person to spend my final days with, Amanda is like top 5 for me. If somehow advertising had any outcome on saving the world before it ended, she would be my RIDE OR DIE. She is a force for good. Need an amazing headline? She will write one AND rap it for you. Need a hype woman? That comes naturally to her, and you will always leave feeling better about yourself. Need a creative teacher to inspire and mold the next generation of ad folks? Amanda's your girl. Need a senior creative with a discerning eye who can sift through tons of ideas to find gold? Hire her. If Amanda is on your team, you've got a serious advantage.
