About Us

“We help teams capture attention, earn trust, and scale up by crafting clear messaging and creating effective marketing strategies and campaigns.”

Jumpstart Marketing is a boutique marketing agency founded by Joy Bennett in 2011.

Joy began as a freelance writer using the business name “Words by JB.” She quickly discovered her knack for social media was highly valuable to businesses and nonprofits. In 2015, she decided to build an official business and formed an LLC using the name Joy Bennett Consulting. In 2020, she rebranded as Jumpstart Marketing LLC with a focus on serving the greater Cincinnati area with a la carte marketing services.

Our goal is to work ourselves out of a job.

We do that by tailoring our services to meet you where you are and propel you forward.

Joy Bennett, Founder & Chief Strategist

Joy is driven to make things better, from copy and visuals to communities and culture. Since 1998, she's supported businesses with strong writing, creative and effective marketing, and insight into audiences, customers, and donors. She likes to remind her clients that humans are unpredictable, so much of marketing is experimenting and testing to see what happens when ___ (fill in the blank).

In her personal time, she is an avid reader who is endlessly curious and always learning. She plays electric bass and keys at an average level (you can find her on her church's worship team on Sunday). Also, she's a stickler for the proper use of the Oxford comma.

She and her husband Scott have been married since 1998 and together have 4 children, 3 living. They live in the Cincinnati, Ohio, area with their 3 kids and assorted pets.

Scott Bennett, Creative Director

Scott, whose full-time “gig” has been at Procter & Gamble for the past 21 years (and counting), is passionate about making the complex simple.

Prior to P&G, Scott spent two years at a fast-paced creative agency in Midtown Manhattan focused on high-stakes slide presentations for Fortune 500 companies. He then spent 18 of his 21 years at P&G in Company Communications, where his work spanned an impressive array of disciplines including corporate brand/identity, executive communications, social/digital media content marketing, and crisis/issue management.

Scott has trained thousands of people both inside and outside P&G on effective visual communications and is widely regarded as an advocate and authority on infographics and data visualization. A technical writer by education and a design guru by experience, Scott’s dual acumen in verbal and visual storytelling brings surprising clarity and creativity to everything we do at Jumpstart Marketing.

Aira Santiago, Executive Assistant

Aira is experienced in editing, data encoding, product research, digital tools including email and project management systems, and general organization. For Jumpstart Marketing, you’ll find her managing administrative tasks including scheduling meetings and calls and onboarding both clients and team members.


In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, swimming, visiting the beach, and playing (and bathing) her pets (both cats and dogs). She is also engaged to be married!
