Devin Thomas
I worked alongside Jessica at the International Trademark Association (INTA) -- at the time she was the Manager, Communications; and I was, and still am, the Manager, Marketing. Jessica was a strategic partner with many strong suits when it came to her work ethic and performance. She was highly respected at INTA and was regarded as professional, a great project manager, a strategic thinker and a team player. Jessica did a stellar job with the creation and launch of the Unreal campaign, a consumer awareness campaign that aims to educate teens about the dangers of counterfeit goods. She was also the brains behind My Powerful Network -- INTA’s exclusive social network for trademark professionals, and she developed and followed through with this project from concept to launch, and in doing so, offered a whole new interactive benefit to INTA members, which was was very cutting edge. Jessica worked extremely well in the INTA environment, which always consisted of collaborative projects and working with different external business partners as well internal business units to get the job done successfully. In all her projects and in all communications, she ensured messaging was on target to the audience while upholding the consistency of the INTA brand. She provided excellent guidance and best communications approaches for many different initiatives. Jessica is/was a great peer, she is very supportive of those working around her, a respectful, hard worker and a dedicated strategic thinker. It was a shame to see her leave INTA.

I worked with Jessica for about 2-3 years at DCI. We shared several clients and she was always a pleasure to work with - a great team player. She is focused on the task at hand, driven to succeed and has high expectations of her own performance, which she typically exceeds. A very talented marketer, Jessica has great experience and a broad skill set - an overall excellent choice for any company.
