DARIEN, Conn., July 30, 2024 – Gale Strategies, a public relations and marketing agency increasingly known for connecting businesses with the audiences that most matter to them, today announced that Jessica McNellis has joined the firm as Principal. As the company continues to expand its work with enterprise technology and private capital clients, she will work alongside the leadership team to ensure Gale Strategies’ offerings remain aligned with clients’ current and future needs.

“Beyond Jessica’s impressive media and client relations track record, she brings an unflappable focus to the at times high stakes demands that naturally arise in our clients’ industries,” said Gale Strategies’ co-founder and CEO, Chris Gale. “She has the B2B PR background that immediately makes her an asset to our team and our clients as they consider media and marketing strategies that will have both long- and short-term impact. We’re very glad to have her on board.”

Jessica has over ten years’ experience creating and leading B2B public relations for companies spanning the healthcare, technology, legal, and sciences industries. A seasoned media relations professional, she’s earned clients’ interview and byline placements with notable business outlets, including The New York Times, Forbes, Bloomberg, and The Wall Street Journal, and a myriad of regional and trade publications. She has a proven skill for connecting clients’ stories with relevant news and works with clients to ensure media placements are leveraged to further their message with target audiences through engaging content, social, and marketing materials.

“I’ve always been a staunch believer that PR and marketing results are the most impactful when they’re used as part of a broader growth and storytelling effort, especially in the B2B market,” said Jessica. “Chris and the Gale Strategies team have developed a process that not only brings in those media results, but also applies them to sales and marketing efforts that can turn into real leads. I’m excited to work with them and their clients to continue to uncover new ways to push them even further.”

Outside of traditional work, Jessica also supports the media and communications efforts for two nonprofits: ProPhounD, a nonprofit bridging the gap between PhDs looking for careers outside of academia to organizations looking to solve the world’s big problems, and Project Jonah, a New Zealand-based nonprofit responsible for protecting marine mammals through rescue. She earned her B.A. in journalism from Bradley University.
