Here Is How I Help…
I've Been on Your Side of the Table
I’ve spent 20+ years inside the creative industry, representing talent, producing campaigns, and leading growth for digital agencies. I’ve worked with photographers, directors, animation studios, production companies, and agencies, helping them win work with clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 brands across fashion, finance, tech, and entertainment. I understand what it takes to position creative work, build client relationships, and drive sustainable growth.
Strategy That Works
I don’t just recommend ideas, I help you build the systems that make it work. Whether it’s clarifying your positioning, installing a sales process, or creating a growth plan your whole team can execute, I focus on what moves the needle.
Real Momentum
I helped Thinkingbox triple its sales. I’ve supported creative studios in winning major projects and expanding into new markets. I take pride in delivering results that make a real difference.
How I Got Here
2004: Strengthening Creative Direction
I started as a photographer and photo editor in Toronto, learning what makes creative work connect with clients. This was where I developed my eye for what works.
2008: Learning to Sell Creative Work
I moved to London, UK and became an agent and producer for Germaine Walker. I learned how to advocate for artists, position their work and build the relationships that move opportunities forward.
2012: Going Deeper into the Creative Industry
Back in Toronto, I represented talent across photography, film, CGI, animation and digital. I saw how the creative industry fits together—and where momentum gets blocked.
2015: Moving into Digital and Consulting
I joined Thinkingbox and started consulting independently. After years observing how agencies operated, I finally got to build the growth systems and strategies myself. This was when my experience compounded and I developed the approach I use today.
Now: Supporting Creative Leaders
After leaving Thinkingbox in 2017, I consulted independently, while the growth strategy I’d built continued to drive results. In 2020, they brought me back as Director of New Business to lead their company-wide shift to direct-to-brand sales. I completed Miami Ad School’s Strategy and Planning course and stay current on digital trends and AI. Today, I help creative businesses grow with clarity and systems, through consulting, strategic leadership, or full-time roles when the fit is right.

“Jessie was a huge asset to Kith and Kin.”
Jessie was a huge asset to Kith and Kin. She enthusiastically managed and nurtured relationships with our roster of directors, photographers and CG artists. She cultivated new clients and also fostered existing relationships. Jessie helped devise, manage and execute marketing, advertising and strategy plans for Kith and Kin and for the individual talent. Her dedication to the company was undeniable and her focus on the continued development and success of Kith and Kin was appreciated. Jessie seemed to accomplish everything with ease and was a pleasure to have on board.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jessie Corney at Hestyreps. I was immediately impressed by Jessie’s business sense and natural sales approach. In her role as new business development, Jessie was responsible for growing our client base by introducing new people to Hestyreps and presenting our roster of directors and production companies. Jessie’s knowledge of animation, design and digital content was a huge asset. As a sales agent, Jessie developed strong relationships in the advertising industry. Not only is she dedicated, detailed and strategic in her sales approach, she is one of the most positive and easygoing people I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Jessie would be an asset to any company within the advertising or creative arts industry.
