“Working with Jackelyn was such a treat and she impacted me so much in an extremely short amount of time. Her patience and grace with me were what initially won me over, but after implementing the skills she taught me I was in awe. Namely, organizing my thoughts and work. A problem I hadn’t realized I had until after reflecting with Jacky. Her guidance proved to be a game-changer in my Social Media Managing journey. It was through her mentorship, and following her recommendations that I really was able to show up as my best self for the company I am working with.”
“Working with Jackelyn significantly improved my strategy and marketing plan for my spiritual healing business. Jackelyn is an excellent resource wherever you are on the journey of running a business. She not only made me a detailed / personalized PowerPoint helping me break down the steps I needed to take to see results but she also explained everything to me with her full attention. She pointed out things that needed to be tweaked on my business page and she gave me direction to consistently put out marketing content that will have the right reach. She is knowledgeable and so passionate in helping others succeed! I appreciate her helping me move forward.”
“I reported to Jackelyn while we were both volunteering with the COVID-19 Action Coalition in the Social Media Team. Jackelyn was the creator and leader of the Social Media team and lead us in content and brand development for several social media platforms representing the organization. She was an instrumental part of not only creating the voice and brand for this organization but she also lead a team of 20+ volunteers in maintaining these channels. I personally worked with her as a second lead for the Social Media team and eventually as the Director when Jackie moved on from the organization. Jackelyn helped me learn the fundamentals of content creation and managing a team of people. She is incredibly structured in her approach to team building and knows how to motivate and draw in the best people to work with her. She goes into her projects with a lot of passion and is an inspirational person to work with. Jackelyn and I continued our friendship following our work at the Coalition and I worked for her on some projects, and I saw these qualities even more when she was working directly with her clients.”
“Jackelyn served as Director of Branding for COVAC while I did my internship there. She is a highly motivated individual whose love for branding and social media is matched only by her skill and knowledge in these areas. While working with COVAC, Jackelyn took it upon herself to give back to the social media team, comprised of dozens of college students. She prepared and taught a series of trainings on all areas of social media marketing teaching us all skills that could be applied to a number of jobs in the future. Throughout my time working with her, Jackelyn embodied what it means to be a leader. She got to know all members of the teams while establishing a team structure that enabled teams to manage themselves— under her supervision. I am grateful that I spent my summer working with COVAC as it gave me the opportunity to learn from Jackelyn. ”
“I hired Jackie to assist me with the launch of my new business. I needed the support of a talented and experienced professional to help me with branding, photo/video, and website design. Jackie understood exactly what I was trying to accomplish, and she beautifully and orderly captured it in a “vision board” and planning deck she presented. I admired her methodological approach, attention to detail, and leadership skills. More importantly, she showed confidence and offered me peace of mind. From the hiring of the models, scheduling of the photoshoot, picking up of the props etc. every single detail was superbly managed by her – and the execution was masterfully done. I knew Jackie would deliver a great final product, however, the website surpassed any expectations I had. I was in awe of its beauty, sophistication and how it reflected exactly what I had envisioned for my brand. The website has attracted more engagements and accolades than I ever expected; I could not be happier.
Since then, our collaboration has expanded and she has fully engaged in the development of my brand’s social media strategy. Jackie brings invaluable insights and years of experience to the table. In addition, and very much appreciated, she really cares about my brand and its success and she is almost as close to it as I am. I highly endorse Jacklyn Dacanay for her extensive knowledge, professional integrity and visionary creativity.”
“Saying Jackie went above and beyond for our company is an understatement. Jackie is incredibly passionate about what she does and I have met few professionals that are truly experts in their field, she is one of them. Jackie not only helped build us a digital marketing plan and platform but she actually came in and coached our employees as a group and individually to show them how they can contribute better. I feel really lucky to have been introduced to Jackie. She has made a significant difference in our branding and social media presence!”

“Jackelyn has been great in helping me expand my reach on social media and has also helped our company rebrand our image on all platforms. She has been a pleasure to work with, very professional! ”
“Jackelyn Dacanay was the Brand Director at the COVID-19 Action Coalition of Massachusetts (COVAC) between April and November 2020. I was the Executive Director of Communications at COVAC and directly managed Jackie in her role. She was able to grow and mentor the social media team from a starting team size of 5 people to a team of 35+ students within a short period across all major social media platforms.
Jackie developed the roles and responsibilities of the social media team which included a Team Lead, Designer, Data Analyst, and Copy Writer. She trained and introduced all team members to use advanced tools including Hootsuite, Canva, and Trello. She invested a huge amount of time in this position mentoring and overseeing the social media team. This included weekly meetings with the entire team and weekly individual meetings with each social media platform team as well as ad. hoc meetings as needed. She was able to leverage and grow the mentees talents in their roles.
During her role, Jackie also collaborated success across multiple teams in COVAC including filming and editing a social media campaign featuring 10 physicians sharing the importance of social distancing. Jackie’s vision and leadership was integral into building the COVAC brand. Her positivity made the students under her mentorship feel empowered in their roles and we all learned from her skills in marketing and branding. This was so important in getting information out to the public during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jackie and would love to work with her again in the future.”
“Jackelyn has been key in the development and launch of my brand. She has helped us find our voice and essentially transform our brand from an idea to conception. Jackelyn is hardworking, dedicated, data driven and never afraid to take risks. Her knowledge is real and organic and her ability to see my vision has allowed me to grow as a founder in more ways than I could have imagined. She is innovative, confident, experienced, honest and goes above and beyond 100% of the time. She believes in my brand as if it was her own. These are qualities that are not easy to find in a marketer. She has been able to increase our social media engagement by over 50% in the 6 months we have worked together. Hiring Jackelyn has been the absolute best decision I’ve made in my brand’s journey and I look forward to continuing to work with her.”

“This was my first introduction to social media in a focused way. I always thought Facebook was for 12 year-old girls and avoided it, but I realize I was wrong. The workshop gave my thinking a complete transformation about what social media is, and how it connects supply and demand through inspiration. What an idea! I’m really inspired to learn more about it and connect on a wide level with people from all areas of life with what I have to offer, and for me to learn what’s available at a touch. You presented the workshop in a way that took much mystery out of the medium- not only technical processes, but how people think today in the marketplace, which was a surprise for me. I feel empowered now, to begin a serious presence on social media. I’m an old guy, raised on straight capitalism, but I can see how contemporary thinking includes giving, not just taking. I now see it as a genuine step of progress in the evolution of how society operates- inclusive, generous, quality mindfulness, accountability, giving people choices, and communication on an inspired level. I so appreciate these insights! I Iook forward to learning more.”
“I took Jackelyn’s Digital Marketing Course at Artisan’s Asylum so that I could better understand how to use social media to help build my small business selling products I have designed. She did an exceptional job of breaking down the somewhat intimidating amount of information into clear concepts and action items. Rather than just telling us what steps we should take throughout the marketing process, she explained the rationale behind the actions. Because of this thorough explanation, I am much more confident in my ability to navigate the world of online marketing. In the month since taking the course, I have steadily increased my monthly sales to almost double what they were previously.”
