Jazzy. “Real” name Jessica.
First things first. Here’s how you pronounce “Danziger.”
I’m a group creative director at Paradowski and an MM&M Woman to Watch.
I grew up in Orlando, “The City Beautiful.”
I’m a tech enthusiast cleverly disguised as a creative. For more than a decade, I’ve crafted immersive digital worlds, thumb-stopping content, and smart, beautiful brand experiences for clients like Enterprise, Verizon, Bayer, Procter & Gamble and the Saint Louis Zoo.
Whether I’m deep in prototyping mode or spinning pixel-powered ideas into market-first moments, I’m obsessed with helping brands show up smarter, stand out louder, and connect deeper.
I wrote a book a few years back. At least a dozen people read it, which I appreciated.
You might enjoy reading the excellent bio my colleague Emily Bihl wrote for me.
These are my great-great grandparents Zelig and Tema Greenblatt.
In 1908 they made a very big trip from Vitebsk, Belarus to Brooklyn.
Zelig and Tema are proof that “Jazzy” is not the strangest name in my family line. Favorites include Faivish and Velvel.
Zelig and Tema’s daughter Ann (far right) was born in Russia in 1902.
That’s me in the middle, with my parents, my grandmother, and my great-grandmother (Ann).
Lorne Greene of Bonanza was Ann’s cousin.
Anyway, I was born to be a ham.
And “sometimes bossy.”
Mom’s notes from a pre-school performance review.
Taylor Hanson emailed me in 1996.
Like many young women who came of age during the dawn of the internet, I taught myself HTML through trial and error by reading, stealing, and adapting source code from sites I admired. At 11, I used my budding coding skills to create a Hanson fan site on Geocities called “The Loser-Free I Happen To Like Hanson Site.” After several months of promotion, I popped up second after the band’s official site in Yahoo! searches for “Hanson.” One day I received a three-line email from taylor@hansonline.com letting me know the band wouldn’t be cutting their hair anytime soon. Apparently I had expressed some concern about this matter. I’ve been chasing that digital marketing high ever since.
