Helping brands build relationships with their audience thru organic social media & networking

So proud of Emma!! We celebrated her graduation last weekend and we could not be prouder.
It seems like yesterday we were moving her into the dorms.
It seems like yesterday I was taking photos before her first Homecoming.
It seems like yesterday I was driving her to volleyball practice several times a week.
It seems like yesterday she was wearing her Disney princess dress all day and reenacting Cinderella scenes.
It seems like yesterday that we brought her home from St. Ann’s Hospital.
Now she’s embarking on the next chapter. It’s scary for all of us, but especially for her. But it’s also exciting, because we don’t know what’s around the corner. So MUCH opportunity. She’s amazing.
Love you 😚

Social media is supposed to be FUN! And sometimes that means jumping on a trend, not for the algorithm—but because it sparks JOY.
What do you think of mine? I’m obsessed with looking at these!!🤩
If you’re feeling stuck or burned out by social… here’s your reminder: not everything has to be educational, strategic, or high-performing. 🐝
Sometimes it can just be you, showing up, being social, and having a little fun with your brand.
✨ More versions incoming!
✨ Joy: activated.
✨ Engagement? Probably.
✨ Good vibes? Definitely.

Social Media Marketing World 2025 🟰 incredible.
I just got back from San Diego last week and this conference didn’t disappoint.
This was my second time attending, and once again, the team at knocked it out of the park. The sessions were packed with value—insightful keynotes, deep dives into AI, content strategy, and platform-specific tactics from some of the best in the business.
Special moments:
✨ Meeting my business mentor IRL and cheering her on from the audience
✨ Conferencing with longtime friend who joined for the first time!
✨ Catching up with .pire a fellow social media marketer who I met last year and connected with!
Big thanks to and all the amazing speakers for bringing their A-game: and more!
I left so inspired, with a notebook full of ideas—and I’ve already started putting some of them into practice.
Got questions about what I learned? DM me—I’m always happy to share!

I see so many businesses with feed posts that would better serve as a STORY on Instagram than a POST.
Consider your profile — YOUR GRID — to be like a portfolio. It should represent you or your brand when someone visit your profile and looks at the top 3-4 rows of POSTS, without reading a caption.
If you’re an artist, it’s your best work.
If you have a store front, it’s what you would put in the window to draw customers in.
If you have a bookstore, it’s the book you face out on display.
STORIES are where you can amplify your brand story because it quickly communicates more about you, your product or service.
They can be in-the-moment, fun, casual, unedited, YET very intentional.
I love stories because that’s where I can stay on the radar without posting to my feed as much AND people get to know ME.
Plus they’re only live for 24 hours!
Talking to the camera in stories is very effective in sharing thoughts that are hard to caption for a post.
And you can test content or gauge interest in stories by using engagement stickers.
How often do you use stories? Tell me👇

Our expectations were exceeded on all fronts with our recent trip to Tulum, Mexico. A milestone birthday deserves a dreamy escape — and and delivered in every way.
While we’ve visited Mexico several times, staying at all-inclusives, this was our first time staying in a home with concierge service for the entire week. Housekeeping, transportation, club and restaurant reservations, a private chef… they handled it all seamlessly!
Each day started with an outdoor shower ♥️ , followed by sliding open the oversized doors to connect the living room to our private garden and pool for breakfast. Then, we’d get ready to head out to the beach clubs.
The rooftop terrace, complete with another private pool, became a favorite spot for soaking up the sun.
We spent our days at private beach clubs ( was our favorite!) and indulging in some of the best food we’ve ever had while traveling, including 🦐
The hospitality, friendliness of the locals, exceptional concierge service, and the zen, laid-back vibe of Tulum made this one of our all-time favorite destinations.
Tulum offered the perfect balance of adventure and serenity, and Villa Oyamel was the ideal retreat. Here’s a little glimpse into our stay at this luxurious escape. Enjoy!

As a graphic designer who designed and produced my own line of custom stationery products for 10 years, I learned a LOT of things--from production, to marketing, to customer service, to prioritization, to managing people (and much more!)--that translate to helping entrepreneurs and businesses grow. I had failures and I had successes. Every business does. From those experiences I realized I can be a resource and support to others.
One of the most important things I learned is that relationships matter and how you take care of them is critical to growth. It starts with two people engaging which can lead to endless possibilities. How do you communicate after the initial contact? How is your brand (and your company’s brand) perceived? Do you have an online presence that supports your message? Do your marketing materials back it up? Are you adding value to those you connect with? How do you stay in touch without “selling”?
So my former stationery company known as The Queen Bee Paper Company has evolved over the years into Queen Bee Jackie (also my social handle). I help companies build and grow their brand and presence - both in-person and digitally.
HOW? Through consistent visual communications, social media content, client relationship strategy, sales support, events, maximizing opportunities and connecting people.
client relationship building - strategy, event planning, communication
graphic design - logos, marketing collateral, store graphics, digital assets, one-on-one coaching of Canva or adobe InDesign
social media - content creation, planning, engagement
events - planning, promoting
connecting - networking how-to
If we have not met, I’d love to e-meet you! Feel free to reach out with any questions to see if we’d be a good fit for each other. Email me at [email protected]. Connect with me on LinkedIn. You can also follow me on IG @queenbeejackie to see what I’m all about. Hopefully we can meet in real life too!
If we already work together I thank you for reading this and for trusting me to help YOU and your business.
