Thank you so much for visiting The SavvyBostonian! My name is Jessica Gioglio and I created The SavvyBostonian in October 2006 as a forum to share my thoughts, tips, and adventures around Boston and beyond. Inspired by my fellow Bostonians, the goal of this blog is to spotlight what my social circle is buzzing about - new hotspots, fun events, fashion, cooking and entertaining – the list could go on! This blog is meant to be a fun extracurricular activity and in no way represents the views or opinions of my current employer.
Interested in Pitching The SavvyBostonian?
If you’re interested in pitching a local event, product, or new place of business to my blog, I do welcome pitches to savvybostonian@gmail.com, but will caution PR people that I do have a full-time job in addition to running this blog. I do my best to respond and only feature local businesses and events that I have a strong affinity to. Please take extra care when submitting pitches and keep them relevant to my blog.
So, What Do I Do Besides Blogging?
Many of the things I enjoy end up being featured on my blog. I live in Boston and strongly believe that there’s no time like the present to play tourist in your own city. As a result, I am always out and about with friends and enjoy trying new restaurants and nightspots. I also love fashion, cooking, photography, reading and traveling.
Professionally, I work in the Boston-area as a public relations and social media manager. I’ve always had a passion for communications and have been fortunate to learn from and contribute to the best practices of several dynamic corporate public relations teams. In the past few years, I’ve also developed a strong interest in social media strategy and am thrilled to be in a position where I can work for an extremely fun, yet well-respected brand that is consistently recognized for its leadership in that space. To read more about my career, please feel free to read my corporate bio on Boston World Partnerships, a great Boston-based organization that I’m involved with.
Throughout my career, I’ve also made myself available to local college students and universities to speak about my experiences or offer tips for breaking into the business. During my college days, internships and informational interviews inspired me to pursue a career in communications and helped me to get my foot in the door. Someday, I hope to give back even more by teaching public relations and social media strategy at a local university, even if it’s just on a part-time basis.
