Meet the Team
Real People. Proven Results.
At JELY Marketing, our team is made up of strategists, creatives, and problem-solvers who care deeply about helping businesses grow. We’re not just running ads and writing copy—we’re building partnerships, solving problems, and creating marketing that works.
We’re led by two hands-on founders who bring years of experience across SEO, paid media, and digital operations. Meet the women behind JELY.
Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder

With years of experience managing multi-platform campaigns at global agencies like Dentsu, Jess has led high-spend Google Ads, Meta, and LinkedIn campaigns for clients in industries ranging from legal and medical to SaaS and B2C retail.
At JELY, Jess oversees all paid advertising strategies, ensuring every campaign is grounded in data and built to drive measurable results. She is Meta Certified in both Digital Marketing and Creative Strategy and brings a unique blend of analytical rigor and creative testing to every account. Clients value her clarity, calm under pressure, and her ability to spot scalable opportunities that others miss.
