Jess Protz
Marketing, storytelling, and strategy for mission-driven organizations
​
I’m a marketing and communications professional with over 20 years of experience helping organizations grow through clear messaging, strong branding, and relationship-driven strategy. My work blends marketing leadership, storytelling, and business development support to help teams communicate what they do, why it matters, and how they deliver value.
​At the heart of my career is a passion for communications and helping companies share their stories in a way that feels human, trustworthy, and aligned with their values. I love taking big ideas and turning them into messaging, content, and campaigns that people can understand, connect with, and act on.
​
I’m especially drawn to mission-driven organizations - teams that lead with service, integrity, and purpose, where success isn’t measured only by growth, but also by impact, quality, and the way people are treated. Whether I’m building a brand from the inside out, creating a communications strategy, supporting customer relationships, or strengthening internal culture, I bring a mindset of advocacy, professionalism, and follow-through.
​
Outside of work, I’m inspired by gardening, animals, and the outdoors, and I’m motivated by the kind of work that makes life better for people and communities.
