"Jess recently hosted an all-day PR crisis communication workshop with members of our senior team and the training was fantastic. Not only did it provide practice for the spokespeople but also involved our operations team, demonstrating how their insight can help guide the company’s response message. During the training, she provided real-life examples, touched on communication techniques, and presented scenarios that kept the entire room engaged."
​-- Lisa Nigon, Homewood Mountain Resort Marketing Director

"I have been operating a tourist-based stargazing business in the Lake Tahoe region for 20 years. Since Jess at JVP Communications began doing publicity work for my company, we've experienced tremendous growth in annual ticket sales. The increase was directly related to her effective work getting the word out about us to hotels, resorts, newspapers, magazines and blogs; locally and nationally."
