Hi, I’m Jessica Gelzer.

I use my cross-sector experience to design and drive forward communications, marketing, and growth initiatives.

When amplifying the voice of a brand or a movement, I bring authenticity, energy, and intentionality. In particular, I enjoy distilling complex issues into clear, actionable messaging to drive engagement. I tend to boil the ocean with ideas, but ultimately provide enough grounding to move those ideas into action.

My experience:

  • Independent Marketing & Comms Consultant | 2020

  • Heal, On-demand Doctor House Calls | 2018

  • APEC Business Advisory Council (Consulting) | 2017

  • Becton Dickinson (MBA Internship) | 2017

  • The Children's Partnership | 2014-2016

  • RALLY: an issue advocacy firm | 2011-2014

  • Urban and Environmental Policy Institute | 2009-2011
