Director of Business Development & Partnerships

With a deep understanding of the market and a keen eye for emerging trends, Jessica brings strategic acumen to Claudine's partnership efforts. Her ability to identify and secure impactful collaborations contributes significantly to the agency's growth and the success of its clients.

Director of Legal & Litigation Communications

Jennifer works at the intersection of law and the media. She partners with lawyers, public figures, and brands to shape how their stories are told, and makes sure their work is featured in the right outlets, at the right moment, in the right way.

Her edge comes from years on the other side of the story. Jennifer spent eleven years at TMZ as a Senior News Producer in the New York office, where she covered state and federal court cases. She began her career with Thomson Reuters, reporting from the federal and state court press rooms in Los Angeles and later from the Southern District of New York courthouse in Manhattan. She went on to serve as Reuters' Content Acquisition Specialist for New England. Her tenure with Thomson Reuters ran from 2007 to 2022.

That background gives Jennifer a rare advantage. She knows how newsrooms think, how court cases become headlines, and how to position a client before the story is written for them.

Jennifer holds a Bachelor's degree in English and a Juris Doctor from the University of La Verne, as well as a certificate in Copyediting from New York University. She has also passed the Uniform Bar Exam.

He’s equally at ease in a boardroom or on a creative call, and that’s Bryan’s edge. He speaks the language of both enterprise and culture, and he knows how to bring the two together.
