How it works
One shared hub, many story paths.
We meet you where you are: from “never done PR before” to “scaling a comms team.” Our process is lightweight for you and deeply relational for the communities you serve.
1. Listen & map
We listen to your story, your community, and your priorities. Then we map the outlets, journalists, and community connectors who are the best fit today—not three months from now.
2. Shape the story
Together, we draft story angles that center real people and outcomes: customers, workers, neighbors. You get clear, reusable language and a library of pitches that feel human.
3. Share & sustain
We make targeted outreach, facilitate warm intros, and keep your community in the loop. You see what’s working, what’s landing, and how your stories ripple across markets.
Services designed around shared capacity, not burn-out.
Whether you’re a solo founder, a neighborhood coalition, or a growth-stage team, JEN Market PR offers right-sized support anchored in shared learning and community outcomes.
Every engagement includes shared reporting and community check-ins so you’re never guessing what’s landing.
Launch & announcement support
From market launches to funding announcements, we build narrative arcs that highlight your community impact—not just your milestones.
Ongoing story development
Monthly narrative sprints, pitch development, and relationship-building that keep your story present in the markets that matter most.
Community office hours & labs
Live sessions where founders, organizers, and comms leads co-work on pitches, messaging, and media strategy in a supportive peer space.
Rooted in community-rich industries.
Our work lives where markets and communities overlap: food, housing, care, climate, creative economies, and more.
Community marketplaces
Food hubs, local delivery, mutual aid platforms, neighborhood commerce.
Housing & care
Tenant-led initiatives, care infrastructure, worker-owned co-ops, mutual housing models.

Who this form is for:
Founders, organizers, communicators, journalists, funders, and community members who want to explore collaboration, coverage, or partnership with JEN Market PR.
We read every note with care. If we’re not the right partner, we’ll say that clearly and, when possible, point you toward other resources.

A few short questions to understand your work, your timelines, and the communities you’re accountable to.
We aim to respond to all inquiries within 5–7 business days.
What to expect next.
Will we hop on a sales call right away?
No. We start with your written context. If there’s alignment, we’ll invite you to a low-pressure 30–45 minute call focused on understanding your work and timelines. You’ll leave with a sense of whether JEN Market PR is a fit and what a possible path could look like.
Do you work with very early-stage projects?
Yes, especially if your work is deeply rooted in community and you have a clear pilot, launch, or milestone ahead. We’ll be honest about whether PR makes sense for where you are right now—or if other kinds of storytelling should come first.
Do you only work in specific regions?
Our deepest relationships are in select hubs, but we collaborate remotely with teams across regions. If we’re not well-placed to support press in your geography, we’ll name that and help you think through options.
Can journalists or funders reach out here too?
Absolutely. If you’re a journalist, funder, or ecosystem partner interested in community-led markets, we’d love to hear what you’re curious about and where your coverage or capital is focused.
