About THE COMPANY
Working with Authors
Since 2012 we've been working with authors to get them noticed under our parent company Upon A Star Books Inc! We thought it was time that we spread our wings, and fly under the name Jessica Alex Marketing - named after the CEO & Founder, Jessica Alex.
We pride ourselves on giving our clients a customized experience. From running social media campaigns, planning events, graphic design and booking media interviews, we've got our authors covered and at an affordable price.
With us an author can get the attention they deserve and get their names out on various platforms for a fraction of the cost that the 'big guys' charge. We also do consultations, offering both great marketing ideas and answering questions about publishing and marketing.
In 2016 we officially launched the Helping authors, it's what we do™ campaign. Here's a look at our advertisement:
WORKING WITH SMALL BUSINESSES
Just over a year later, we decided to expand and work with entrepreneurs and small business owners because, well, we love small businesses! (After all as they say, it takes one to know one.)
About THE FOUNDER
Jessica Alex founded Upon A Star Books Inc. when she decided to publish her own children’s book, What If the World Had No Colour? From there, Upon A Star Books Inc. quickly grew into a company that offers publishing and marketing services for authors. Jessica took the “concierge” approach; as an author herself she knows the stresses of trying to publish and market one’s book. With a BA from Concordia University, and a Marketing Certificate from George Brown College, she takes a customized and hands-on approach with each client that she works with, and constantly finds ways to think outside the box!
