Jesslyn G.

Founder, Fractional CMO

Hi, I’m Jesslyn. Over the last decade, I’ve led marketing and communications across architecture (BIG and REX), design (Accept & Proceed), and real estate (Compass), both in-house and agency-side, working with high-profile clients such as Google, Toyota, LEGO, Audemars Piguet, Nike, and more. At BIG, I led communications for projects globally - including one year of running the department solo - managing 50+ active projects, growing the Instagram to 400K+ followers, and securing top-tier design coverage. At Accept & Proceed, I built the communications function from the ground up, introducing new strategies and systems that strengthened visibility and supported the studio’s creative and commercial goals.

Today, I’m building Slow Construct: a global platform for architect-makers, alongside a boutique communications practice advising founders and innovators in the built environment.

NYC-based, working globally.
