I'm Jess Chattin — influencer and talent manager, podcast host, and founder of Jess Chattin Management Co.

I started this company because I watched creator after creator get taken advantage of — lowball offers, predatory contracts, brands disappearing after content was posted. I knew the business side of this industry well enough to fight for people who were too busy creating to fight for themselves.

I have a BA in Psychology from Mary Baldwin College with a minor in Elementary Education. Before management, I worked as an educator, counselor, and substance abuse counselor. That background shapes everything about how I work — I lead with relationships, not transactions, and I stay until the problem is solved.

Today I represent 60+ content creators across lifestyle, family, faith, health, outdoor, and home niches. I've negotiated brand deals with Home Depot, Target, Walmart, McDonald's, Bark Technologies, Factor 75, and 90+ national brands. I operate on a simple promise: I only win when you win.

I'm also the host of Chattin Outloud: Mental Health Matters — a podcast I launched in September 2024 in memory of my brother. It's become one of the most meaningful things I've ever built.

I'm based in Vinton, Virginia. I'm a wife since 2006, a mom to three kids, and a dog mom too.

I don't take on clients I don't believe in. And I don't quit on the ones I do.

How I Work

Relationship first. I don't take on clients I don't believe in — and I don't quit on the ones I do. Every creator I represent gets my full attention, not a formula.

Transparency always. My commission structure is straightforward: 20% of all managed brand deals. I tell you that upfront because I believe you deserve to know exactly how I'm compensated — and to know that I only win when you win.

Faith-led. Everything I build is rooted in integrity, honest communication, and a genuine care for the people I work with — creators, brands, and partners alike.
