Bio
Hannah Lushin
I had the pleasure of working with Jessica at Bohlsen Group for nearly three years. In that time, I watched her grow from an eager media relations specialist to an experienced account executive focusing on public relations. At Bohlsen, I learned a lot from Jessica - her quiet maturity and overall presence is one that draws respect from anyone around her. Jessica constantly impresses me on many levels. She's skilled at multitasking; communicating with peers, managers and clients; delegating; mentoring and more. As one of the company's "go-to" people, she often takes on work that isn't necessarily in her job description - and completes it thoughtfully and to her best ability. She is always searching for learning experiences. As a person and a colleague, Jessica Redden is a rare breed. She doesn't complain; she isn't entitled. She works hard and gets great results. She's patient, ambitious, ethical and creative. I can't say enough great things about Jessica Redden. She's an asset to any company, and she'll succeed wherever she goes.

I was introduced to Jessica through musician Darden Smith, who hired Bohlsen PR for publicity work. He recommended Jessica for a project we were both working on (LifeQuest Transitions Music Camp) and from day one, she was exceptional. I would provide Jessica with content and she would work her magic. We had immediate attention from all sorts of media, from the Washington Post to CBS, bringing much-needed attention to this program. She is always professional, courteous and available. As a result, I recommended Jessica to handle PR for another project I am involved in -- the Happy Movie. She jumped right in, again, delivering stellar results. I would absolutely recommend her, and Bohlsen, for any PR needs! Mary Judd Communications, LLC, Jan. 2012
