Jessica Smith works for Fleishman-Hillard International Communications and brings more than a decade of marketing and social media expertise to the firm and its clients. In 2008, while working as a consultant from home so she could be with her young son, Jessica began blogging about business, marketing, advertising, social media and achieving work/life balance as a virtual executive. Within four months of its launch, her blog, www.JessicaKnows.com, had a Google Rank of five achieving between 45,000 and 65,000 page views per month and now has over 1,000 subscribers and a Twitter following of nearly 22,000.

Because of her influence in the digital space – recently tapped as one of the Power Pack in Nielsen’s Power Mom 50 list – Jessica has been recruited to serve as a spokesperson for big brands including Wal-Mart (”ElevenMoms” campaign) Ford and EA Sports. Her specialties include creating buzz and communities for companies that target moms through new media.

A graduate of the University of Maryland at College Park, Jessica started her career at Sapient Corporation.

Recently featured in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Business Week, and AdAge, Jessica embraces this wild, wild West of the interwebs as a way of harnessing new conversation channels.
