Jesse partners with the most influential brands in culture to build trust in consumers, tell product stories authentically and create more access to being well.

Content as a way to help humans, not just sell something.

If the sole purpose of a partnership is to sell product, it’s unlikely we’ll be a good fit.

But if through our partnership we can create an authentic way to tell your brand’s & product’s story and actually help people while doing so, we’ll work well together — and the people who buy the product will be happier because their needs were served thoughtfully along the way.

“We partnered with Jesse and The Big Quiet on smartwater and it was one of our most successful partnerships. “

- Kate Santore, Director of Marketing & Innovation at Coca-Cola
