Jazzlyn Stone - Curriculum Vitae

I get immense joy from helping creators and publishers connect with their fans while building out their brand legacy. The easiest, most cost effective way to build your community is through a comprehensive marketing strategy that includes emails, social media, influencer sponsorships, press, live streams, pop up events, and convention programming. Find your fans where they congregate naturally, and invite them to join you on your journey. I adore a challenge, getting a thrill from achieving what others have deemed impossible.
