JILL ANNE RUSSELL CREATIVE

My name is Jill. I'm a writer, editor, and branding expert who helps clients figure out what to say and how to say it in a way that makes sense for their audience and business initiatives. Creative storytelling is what I do best.

I have an MA in publishing and writing from Emerson College and, over the past decade, have lead editorial projects and teams at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Groupon, Thrive Market, Simmons College, and other companies.
