Were Cliff McCloe and Jess Kenney separated at birth?
Okay, maybe we don’t look anything alike. But, I mean, come on! Look how similar our joie de vivres are!
Maybe. Maybe not. But our remarkable similarities can no longer be ignored. For example, according to her bio, Jess can list all 50 states alphabetically in under 30 seconds. Is it just a coincidence that I can sing the words of "The Brady Bunch Theme Song" faster than anyone else on earth? You be the judge. And that’s just the first of five ways that we’re alike.
If we really want to get to the bottom of things (and since I’m obviously so shy), maybe she could break the ice and bring me in for an interview for that contract copywriting job she posted on LinkedIn. Just sayin’. My application is in your inbox, Jess.
Your move.

The Yin to My Yang
Jess is looking for someone who can "write copy for various marketing materials including (but not limited to) blog posts, websites, eBooks, case studies, email campaigns, and social media posts." She also wants industry-specific experience writing for the higher-ed, technology, and financial services verticals.
Are you sitting down? Because I've done all these things! Spooky, huh? -
Talent & Culture Experience For Days
Okay, unlike Jess, I've never headed an HR department. But when Splunk was looking to completely revamp its talent brand, I led the content strategy and copywriting efforts to match its new brand positioning.
We overhauled the career site, refocused our content marketing efforts, and rejuvenated every candidate communication. I also co-wrote a proposal that helped land Splunk on the Great Places to Work® list. -
The Jig is Up
Jess loves "playing the spoons to Irish jigs." This means she knows there are no small parts. And if she knows that, she DEFINITELY knows that there are no such things as small projects.
See how I've collaborated with teams to squeeze big results from seemingly tiny projects.

A Common Mission
According to her Linkedin page, Jessica's mission is to "create a positive and productive culture and increase the satisfaction and retention of our employees and clients." Wow! Me too! Like that time I directed a not-so-hostile takeover of The Garrigan Lyman Group digital agency with just a loud tie, a drawer full of McDonald’s dipping sauces, and a dream.
