"Jamie and I first connected through a local PR organization many years ago. As Take Care Private Duty Home Health Care was preparing for our 25th anniversary, I reached out to see if she could assist in producing a video to mark the milestone anniversary for our family business. Now, five years later, Jamie is thankfully still by our side and helping to commemorate Take Care's 30 Years of Caring!"
- Erika Wise Borland | Vice President, Take Care
"I had the pleasure of working closely with Jamie for seven years, during which she served as my right-hand and Marketing Director. She joined our team in 2012, taking the lead on creative direction and successfully guiding us through a full rebranding process. Jamie played a key role in strengthening local media relations, revitalizing our loyalty program for the digital era, and promoting the food and wine-focused trips my wife and I have been proud to host around the globe. My business partner Phil and I deeply appreciated Jamie’s passion for elevating the guest experience across every aspect of Michael’s operations — from catering and the wine cellar to the restaurant and beyond. She also championed internal communications and helped bring our community commitment to the forefront, enhancing visibility, and amplifying Michael’s impact throughout the region."
- Michael Klauber | Co-Proprietor, Michael's On East
"I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Jamie across several nonprofit organizations over the years.

Grateful for the creativity, heart, and energy she brings to every project."

Clients: Past & Present
"Just Jamie" Here
That’s it. Just me.
“Just Jamie” is often my informal greeting when calling into clients’ offices.
It’s appropriate given my intention of collegial professional relationships with my community partners. It’s also true - working with “Jalwan Communications” means you’ll have just one extra team member to count on for oversight, planning, implementation, or operational needs.
I’m as dedicated and loyal as they come and I’m a known entity. Just one meaningful extension of your internal team. No cloak-and-dagger, no bait-and-switch, no fancy sales pitch or report to lure you down an enlightened path with the allure of marketing magic. I’m not a full-scale marketing agency, though I’ve always checked many of the boxes when it comes to projects at hand: creative direction, design, writing and editing, media relations, email marketing, social and website content management and media relations. No matter how a working relationship is defined, I strive to undersell and over-deliver, exceeding expectations with purposeful, practical solutions.
Adaptability, resourcefulness, a drive to make a difference, and a desire to always roll up my sleeves and get a job done are just a few reasons my partners typically keep me around. I love the opportunity to flex with my client’s current priorities to help evaluate, define, and lead evolving demands of their organization for our continued shared success.
