Jess Downes

I’m a marketing and strategic communications professional with 10+ years’ experience across social, digital, print and media. I’ve led marketing functions in construction and recruitment, and then moved into Queensland Government, including developing social and digital prevention messaging.

I currently work for a government health department in their social and digital team, creating engaging, evidence-informed content and campaigns that aim to drive positive behaviour change through clear, audience-focused communication.

On top of my 9-5, I work as a freelance social and digital media content creator for a small, Aussie-owned business that sells adhesive patches to the diabetes community.
