FOUNDER

Jessica Buono has built her career on spotting the conversations that will shift everything—creating the moments that make people stop mid-scroll and say, ‘I need to know more.’ She’s the publicist who believes the most unforgettable brands are forged from stories told ahead of the curve. As the founder, CEO, and lead publicist of Pitch Parlor PR in Philadelphia, she transforms lifestyle brands, culinary experiences, hospitality ventures, and philanthropic missions into narratives that resonate with real people and rewrite the rules.

Jessica’s approach blends strategic precision with authentic storytelling—creating campaigns that don’t just capture attention, they cultivate lasting relationships between brands and the communities they serve. Her expertise spans securing national press features, developing comprehensive communication strategies, and identifying the moments that redefine how brands connect with their audiences.

Jessica honed her editorial instincts through her work at Condé Nast’s Teen Vogue and Bon Appétit magazines before transitioning to boutique PR agencies in New York City, where she developed the strategic thinking and resilient work ethic that only the NYC market can provide. She now brings that New York intensity to Philadelphia, where she’s built her practice, drawing from her editorial background to understand what it takes to think like a journalist and strategize like a marketer.
At Pitch Parlor PR, Jessica has created what she calls a “strategic sanctuary”—where great ideas are born over thoughtful collaborations and exceptional brands find their voice. Her diverse portfolio spans hospitality and tourism, food and beverage, lifestyle, interior design, real estate, technology, education, B2C, philanthropy, and B2B industries, with a proven track record of securing coverage in the most influential media outlets across the country.

Outside the Parlor, Jessica is usually doing some “field research” at Philadelphia’s latest culinary gems with her family, raising her son, indulging her love of travel, or championing causes that create meaningful change. She’s learned that the most unforgettable stories come from real moments—messy, beautiful, and undeniably human—because the best narratives aren’t just crafted in boardrooms, they’re lived, felt, and shared authentically.

In Jessica’s approach, exceptional brands transcend business and become the movements people feel compelled to be part of. She’s got a chair waiting for you and a fresh round of ideas—let’s get to work.
