THE BRAINS

With a 20 year career that started in corporate sports marketing, sponsorships and community investment, Edmonton-born Jessie Cayabo has spent the last decade in the culinary vertical as a marketing and PR strategist for clients in tourism, hospitality, specialty foods and retailers.

Her clients have been featured on Food Network’s Beat Bobby Flay, You’ve Gotta Eat Here, Food & Wine Magazine alongside numerous Canadian and international media outlets but her heart remains in connecting clients to consumers by creating grassroots programming and creative campaigns to tell their brand stories and remain top of mind.

Jessie has developed numerous legacy campaigns and community investment programs including Italian Centre Shop’s Panini4Bambini with the Calgary Flames, SABOR Restaurant’s Annual Seafood Festival, Edmonton’s Feed The Soul Dining Week and most recently, Feast on Fourth – a food crawl through Calgary’s 4th Street/Mission district.
