jessica rippey, seo & SEm specialist

Jessica was born and raised in Napa Valley, California where she attended Justin-Siena High School. She moved to Los Angeles for College and earned her B.A. in Communications from California State University, Fullerton in 2007. Since then she has continuously worked in marketing, media and more recently focuses on digital marketing. 

Her first job out of College was at Lionsgate Films in the Theatrical Distribution department. From there she spent the next 3 years at MTV Networks in the Creative Development Department.  Here she first discovered her love for digital marketing. She then moved back to Northern California, San Francisco, to work as a digital marketing strategist and analyst for First Page Sage. Because of her talent and non-stop work ethic, she was quickly promoted to managing her entire department. Jessica and her husband eventually moved home to Napa to be closer to family. After almost 4 years with the company she left to spend more time with her newborn son and pursue her ultimate goal of consulting local clients and bringing her expertise to her local, Napa community.

Jessica has a wide range of experience with Search Engine Optimization/Search Engine Marketing and Social Media Marketing on a local and national level. Her knowledge of Google Analytics paired with her experience and natural talent for marketing and branding make her a well rounded marketer and a qualified consultant. Her clients have ranged from multi-million dollar, nationally represented companies to local mom and pop shops and boutiques - she enjoys each one equally. She not only has a passion for business but also a passion for learning and constantly strives to stay current and look ahead in the ever-changing digital marketing environment.
