TESTIMONIALS

Hear from the people I have worked with through my consulting across different projects and roles.

Jesse and I worked together at StickerGiant during the hypergrowth years leading up to the company’s sale. He built the marketing team and designed the growth engine that consistently delivered 30%+ year-over-year revenue growth.

What stood out then—and still does—is Jesse’s ability to translate brand into action. He repeatedly leveraged StickerGiant’s identity to establish clear market initiatives around what made us different: fun, fast, and friendly. He brings a sharp eye for iterative brand design, a strong strategic mind, and the rare ability to actually execute.

More recently, Jesse and Contrive Digital helped shape the brand voice for my company, HumanKind Business Leaders. He brought clarity and precision to how we describe our work—helping us stand out in a crowded space and convert real interest into clients.

Put simply: Jesse connects brand, strategy, and culture in a way that drives meaningful, sustainable growth. You can trust both his creative savvy and his follow-through.

Jesse has an incredible gift for storytelling. He knows how to create emotional connections with prospective buyers through a digital-first experience that brings a brand’s culture to life even before someone ever picks up the phone. His ability to turn brand vision into something people feel is what sets him apart.

The Contrive Digital team was critical for us in assessing the marketplace for hiring a full-time marketing specialist, both in understanding how to make an attractive offering to bring in someone with top talent, but also in how to assess candidates with a marketing specialty. Without Contrive’s guidance, we’d likely have offered far too large a range and been left hoping we’d made the right selection for our team when the time came to hire. Contrive provided us with a clear job posting and profile to attract a candidate, and the tools and systems to assess the qualifications of candidates to support our small business.
