Kinda my thing.

I write content that connects people to the impact of your mission.

Most people have three things in limited supply: time, attention, and money. I write content that gets to the point, drives action, and gets results — whether it’s the technical stuff, the explainy stuff, the pursuady stuff, or the markety stuff.

I also speak Human.

Why work with Jen Zug?

I love stories that resonate.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been capturing music lyrics and movie lines in my journal and processing my connection to their magic. Stories are how I make sense of the world and find my way through it. 

I believe authentic storytelling finds its audience.

Most people are on a mission: they want relief from their pain, clarity for their confusion, a cause to align with. When they go looking for answers, they want a solution that resonates. If someone can see themselves in the story arc of your product or mission, they’ll take action and connect in a deeper way.

I promise to steward your story well.

For over ten years, brands and nonprofit organizations have trusted me to translate their business, fundraising, and program objectives into content that informs, inspires, and drives action. I listen, ask hard questions, and collaborate to deliver content that honors your mission.
