Misinformation. Noise. Clickbait. Mindless scrolling.
This is what we’re up against.
Don’t let your research go unnoticed.
HI THERE. WE’RE ALESSI.
In an attention economy, the voices of people pursuing important questions—with rigor and diligence—are more important than ever.
Yet, valuable findings are often buried in inaccessible papers, journal articles, and reports.
At Alessi, our integrated approach to research promotion extends the impact of your work by making it accessible and compelling.

Founder + CEOJackie gets eyes on important research. With a passion for relationships and a high standard of excellence, she thrives on her many successful long-term partnerships with researchers and Ivy League institutions. Jackie blends systems thinking, creative design, and innate human appeal to develop effective promotional strategies and compelling products that get attention.
When she’s not neck-deep in research, Jackie’s likely riding her bike, spending time with her pups, or exploring the world with her husband, Nick.

Chief Strategy OfficerDanielle helps build thought leaders. With a background in behavioral research, journalism, and content strategy, she considers important and complex topics from multiple angles and helps thought leaders translate those concepts into efficient and creative stories that change things. She’s collaborated with world-class scientists and researchers from a number of fields, including tech, biotech, life science, data science, higher education, education policy, machine learning/AI, wellbeing, and human flourishing.
As a former professional volleyball player and current mountain biker, Danielle’s often on a bike that’s a bit dirtier than Jackie’s. When she’s not riding, she’s nerding out about biking on The Art of Mountain Biking podcast, or catching up on the memes her two daughters are into this week.
