from our partners

“Jennifer is a visionary, and the definition of pure energy, creativity, and results. I’m proud to be part of the network she’s established through The Sway Effect. As a former client of Jennifer’s when she was leading a major agency’s worldwide communications strategies, I know the value she brings to the table. She sets the bar high—and then pushes beyond that with everything she does.”

Anne Madison
Founder, 357 Communications

“Having worked with Jennifer in the past, I was excited to be a part of her new endeavor. Not only is she super smart and effective, but also one of the most connected people I know.”

Mitch Markson

Phil McCarty

“Not only is it an amazing opportunity to work with incredible people in this industry like Jennifer, but it’s also important to show that agencies don’t have to look like what they used to. And quite frankly, in our changing world, they can’t.”

Lily Herman
Founder, Rogue Sunday
