HPZ Marketing is 7 years old.

What started as “I’m going out on my own” turned into a full-time career as a fractional CMO, leading marketing for small business CEOs.

They need someone to own the marketing strategy AND the ex*****on AND the results without the full-time price tag.

Seven years later, that hasn't changed.

✅ I still care whether the marketing I build pulls its weight.

✅ I still treat missed goals and underperforming marketing as my problem to fix.

✅ I believe small businesses should have someone who looks out for their brand and their budget.

✅ I believe small businesses deserve affordable marketing leadership.

To every client who trusted HPZ Marketing, every person who made an introduction or said "you should talk to Jessica"—thank you.

Here's to year 7. And to everyone still betting on themselves.

Even the Louvre got hacked because their password was literally “LOUVRE.”

Jessica Kelley, CEO of HPZ Marketing, checks digital security the moment she’s brought in. Because all the SEO-optimized blogs, personalized landing pages, and email automations mean nothing if your site isn’t secure.

That’s what Fractional CMOs really do.

Not just marketing, but protecting the brand, the infrastructure, and the trust your business is built on.

If your marketing leader isn’t thinking like this, it’s time to find one who does.

Jessica Kelley, CEO of HPZ Marketing, attended a recent event in Malta where Nicolas Hamilton delivered an unforgettable talk.

Hamilton, who lives with cerebral palsy, spoke about how disability doesn’t diminish drive—and how leadership requires both resilience and vulnerability.

The message resonated deeply for Jessica, whose brother lived with profound deafness, mental illness and addition. Their mother—like Hamilton’s—was a fierce advocate for her child long before disability laws existed.

Some of the takeaways that hit hardest:
🧠 Mental strength doesn’t mean being fearless, it means not letting fear stop you
💡 It’s okay to succeed and be vulnerable
⚡️ Disability shouldn’t dim your light
🎯 Set goals by reflecting, but stay present

To all the mums who fight like lions: this one’s for you.

💚 (Photo of Jessica’s late brother, forever in her heart and especially poignant on his birthday today.)
