Senior Account Director - Hothouse Inc.
I spent nearly five years working incredibly closely with Jessika in her role as Creative Director at Chemistry Agency. Even though I was in the Account Service department she mentored me and was instrumental in my early development in advertising. She oversaw a team of art directors, and across the board was incredible at developing their talents and thinking. She had a unique way of giving feedback and direction without being heavy-handed that always elevated everyone's work.
Jessika has a great creative mind, and the ability to see things differently than those around her. She's also a rockstar on television productions and edits. I can't say enough good things about her, she was a pleasure to work with, and I hope to have chance to work together with her in the future.

Account Director, Hilltop Grocery
Jessika is an amazing Art Director, creative mind and conceptual thinker. I had the privilege of working with her for 3 years on the New York Philharmonic account. She is driven, always finds a creative solution, and has a keen sense of detail.
I don't think she realizes what an amazing teacher she is. I (an account person) was able to learn so much of the print and broadcast production process just by working with Jessika. Her ability to explain complex pieces of the business is fantastic. I have also seen her take real time to work with young creatives to help them fully understand our industry and give them the confidence to grow.

There are not enough wonderful things I can say in recommendation of Jessika Janene.

Jessika is, first and foremost, a driven and talented creative who is devoted to delivering thoughtful and innovative work – from digital banners to 40’ posters to full broadcast campaigns. No project was too small to deserve her utmost attention and care. She is also an exceptional mentor who taught me that every detail matters. Jessika knows the value in providing guidance to her employees while also trusting their own creative thinking. She is priceless in my personal creative development and knowledge of the industry. I believe anyone would be lucky to work with her!
I recommend Jessika without reservation. She would be a great addition to any organization for her wealth of talent and knowledge, as well as her ability to deliver exceptional creative work, foster relationships, and lead a team.

Jessika and I worked together for over 6 years. As part of the Account Services department, I had the privilege of partnering with Jessika on multiple accounts spanning various verticals. She is a consummate creative professional who consistently delivers outstanding work for her clients... work that drives results and wins awards. My time at Chemistry has been greatly impacted by her and her approach to the creative process... pushing boundaries and bringing fresh perspective regardless of the project at hand.
In addition to her creative prowess, she's also a pleasure to work with and a great collaborator. I'm hopeful that our paths will cross again soon.

Retired / former Creative Director at Chemistry
I've personally worked with Jessika for more than 20 years and have known her even longer. She is a consummate professional, out-of-the-box thinker and tireless worker. Whether it's concepting, graphic design, video, digital design or project lead work, Jessika is truly a Jill of all trades. There's no ego here — just solid, creative thinking and exceptional results. Whether in a leadership role or part of a team, I can't think of anyone I'd feel more confident entrusting a project to.
Senior Design & Creative Professional
I’ve worked alongside Jessika for the last 15 years. She’s a collaborative leader who allows creatives to explore their ideas while providing thoughtful critique and guidance along the way. With every project, she pushes to make the work great. And most importantly, she’s a solid individual.
Digital Art Director + Designer
Jessika was the Creative Director during my first role at an advertising agency, and I was lucky to learn and grow alongside her – one of the most talented and driven creatives I have ever worked with. Her focus has always been on telling a powerful creative story and making an impact on the viewer – rather than being impressive or trendy. Jessika is a brilliant mentor who has a knack for encouraging young designers to unlock their own creative gifts and put them to good use. I would not be the designer or person I am today without knowing and working with Jessika. Anyone who has the chance to work with her should take it!

It is very easy to recommend Jessika Janene, as I've had the wonderful experience of working with her at two different agencies over the course of my career. What I've most valued has been the collaborative approach to finding creative solutions to communications challenges. The process was as important as the result. Regardless of the project, whether large or small/easy or hard, I consistently would be delighted and amazed at the insightful ideas we'd create. I was always proud of the work we'd create together...we made a great team and I enjoyed every minute of our projects.
Writer & Editor, Cultural Critic, Set Design & Styling
I would take any opportunity to work with Jessika on any project, any day. She truly is a pro with decades of experience to offer in terms of getting client work done excellently and published on schedule. She is reliable, hard working, creative, and versatile. Not only that, she's an incredibly talented storyteller, performer, production team member, and a natural leader who shows up for her team and inspires everyone around her. She possess rare qualities such as integrity and the willingness to do hard things that would cause most people to shrink away. She is the type of person that other talent will follow. If you can get her on your team, do not let her go!
