About

Hi, I’m Jess Bolton. I’ve spent over ten years in social media, building and managing big, engaged communities for B2B, B2C and personal brands. I love crafting growth strategies that drive authentic engagement and meaningful leads across major platforms.

I’ve led end-to-end campaigns, created video, image and text-based content from ideation to posting, and overseen product launches and influencer partnerships. I’ve partnered with brands including Disney, Oatly, TOG24, Jollyes and Admiral Insurance, and I’m well connected across the influencer and brand marketing world. I’m a collaborative, networked professional who can work solo or with agencies to manage a pipeline of ads and campaigns across Instagram, LinkedIn and app stores, turning analytics insights into smarter, more effective strategies.
