Jess Sims

CEO, Brand Marketing Strategist + Fractional CMO

The head honcho of marketing strategy.

Jess spent 10 years in brand marketing - both agency and in-house, learning the best way to get people talking about a business before starting The Doers. She pioneered the development of social media marketing with her clients at a time when few brands were adopting it. We’re not calling her a maverick because that’s an overused marketing name, but you get the gist. With enough knowledge across the full spectrum of marketing channels (and an endless appetite to learn more), her strengths lie in top level marketing strategy - connecting the dots and knowing what the right channels are to bring into the fold.

When not creating marketing magic, she’s usually in her kitchen whipping up some culinary delights. Her specialty? Sourdough bread. *chefs kiss*. 

What Jess Does:

Check out her CV:

Jess started in agency-side PR before fast-developing a passion for digital marketing with a special interest in social media. She was responsible for taking brands such as homewares brand Loaf, truly online. With a natural skill and deep passion in networking, Jess quickly built an enviable little black book of influencers, experts and industry folk. This led her to securing a role at US-furniture retailer, west elm, owned by the Williams Sonoma Inc group, where she was responsible for bringing the brand to UK shores. It was here that she finessed her experience with influencer marketing, the power of in-person events and digital marketing growth. As the sole UK employee for a good few years, she learnt how to work very independently, giving her a burning desire to set up her own consultancy business. After almost 5 years in her role at west elm, she left corporate life behind and founded The Doers. She now thrives from using her big brand experience to help smaller brands grow.
