About THE FOUNDER

In the spring of 2016, Jessica Alex, an author and CEO of her own publishing company, Upon A Star Books Inc, saw the gap for authors who needed assistance with public relations. She loved assisting the authors that she published, but she also received referrals for self-published authors who needed help as well. So she started Jessica Alex Marketing to help wonderful, independent, go-getting authors who weren’t being represented.

Then in the fall of 2017, after Jessica Alex was networking with some amazing entrepreneurs, she discovered a similar gap for small businesses who also needed similar assistance as her author clients did. From there, the doors officially opened to work with entrepreneurs and help them with their marketing needs as well.

Jessica Alex studied at Concordia University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) and went on to study marketing at George Brown College by way of their marketing certificate program.
