Jessica Hogan

I'm just a girl that's been in some aspect of advertising for a little over 10 years now. I love helping creative folks do their thing by providing thoughtful insights and inspiration. The part you don't see is the rigorous and inventive research and planning that comes before the insights. Account Planning on the agency side is where I've spent the majority of my time but have also expanded my horizons with some outside work here and there. I've also been known to freelance from time to time...developing brands (many from the ground, up) and the subsequent marketing strategy, planning and execution needed to make the brand successful in the marketplace. If you have a business in need of some clear, strategic direction for your brand(s), give me a shout. I have a network of very talented creative friends that I can tap into to help execute the work so you don't have to track them down yourself. Finally, I'm currently tied to the bizarre and blooming world of social media, so I've got that experience to boot.
