We chose to work with Jess Hekmat because of her mastery of the principles of good branding, her gift with language, and her insight into human psychology. She did not disappoint! After listening in depth, Jess immediately grasped our market opportunity and helped us develop a brand identity, positioning, and messaging for a new offering. Jess was easy to work with, had an effective process to involve stakeholders, and brought her unique gifts and genius to bear on behalf of our brand and business. A+ for Jess.
Joshua Covey, Vice President, Education Division, FranklinCoveyFinding someone who can be strategic while also getting stuff done and executing is usually impossible… until you find Jessica. We needed to think through our entire brand strategy while getting ready to launch Alleyoop. Jessica rolled up her sleeves and helped us hire talent, write brand copy and messaging, and nail down our entire strategy, ultimately giving us a lot of creative inputs to help make our launch a huge success. She is incredibly insightful marketer, really organized and knows how to put the right words together to nail the brand message. She can take your vision and really bring it to life. She thinks outside the box and keeps things focused and streamlined. She was such an incredible resource for our brand launch, and we’ve continued to tap her for projects as we’ve grown.
Leila Kashani, Founder & CEO, AlleyoopJess was and continues to be an invaluable resource for our company. As a small team of entrepreneurs, we are often consumed with the day to day minutia of building a business. Working with Jess allowed us the time to sort through the most important issues at our company; where we were and where we wanted to go. Through a series of very thoughtful and streamlined sessions, we were able to define our company’s core values and set tangible goals for the near, medium, and long term. Jess is an extremely thoughtful and effective collaborator and helped us produce concrete and actionable objectives. Working with her has been a big part of the success of our young company.
Joseph Miller, Partner, Runyon GroupI highly recommend Jessica for strategic consulting and business development. Since I hired her my business has improved by 250% within the first three months. She gave me the tools that I needed in the immediate and also the tools I needed for the future. I was floored when a seasoned consultant that is highly respected asked me why I used his competitor when I told him I used Jessica, he wanted to hire her on the spot for his own company!

Mohsen Mir, Founder, Implant CentersJessica asks all the right questions. She gets you thinking and strategizing not only about short- and long-term goals, but the steps that you’ll need to take to reach them. I’d recommend her without reservation to anyone looking to start/structure a business — or effectively manage their time/relationships therein. Jessica shows you how your dreams are possible.
