“In the many years we've collaborated, Jessica has recognized my vision for my business even more clearly than I have at times! From detailed marketing projects to big picture organizational development challenges, she is always able to integrate her knowledge of disparate business sectors, consumer groups, and cultures, finding the best possible solution to the problem. Jessica is a delight to work with, bringing tremendous energy to any task and above all, her sense of fun and her dedication to work she believes in shines through.”
- Irene Shiang Li, Mei Mei Dumplings
“Without Onward & Upward’s support, our $188k crowdfunding campaign would not have succeeded. Jessica knew exactly how to leverage our community and existing brand to bring in much-needed funds. She taught us how to communicate our values to our guests, and made sure that our identity was foundational in all of our messaging. Jessica is indefatigable, approaching every challenge with enthusiasm and care - we are lucky to have her by our side.”
- Annie Campbell, Mei Mei Dumplings
“Jessica is so talented, thoughtful and creative, and I feel so lucky to work with her. From partnerships to brand collaborations and creative projects we work on, she knows how to find common ground, elevate clients and generally uplift all parties.”

“There is legitimately no one I know who is more driven to help people and companies achieve their goals and graced with the strategic thinking, tenacity, grit, fearlessness and panache to make magic happen than Jessica Coughlin. She has been instrumental in building awareness for new projects and helping grow listeners at WBUR, secured new media partners to support the station, and has helped drive audience to CitySpace through strategic, targeted outreach. Simply put: if Jessica is in your corner you are destined for greatness.”
- Candice Springer, WBUR CitySpace
“Jessica is organized, efficient, and always supportive. As a group with long established roots in the region, we were impressed by her extended reach and ability to tactfully get our message through to many different groups that we may not have connected to on our own. Overall, we were thrilled with the care and ownership Jessica put into our project.”
