Jessica Jurkschat

Jessica Jurkschat is a multimedia journalist and social media specialist covering the intersections of climate, policy, power and money. As Social Media Journalist at The Chief Brief, she shapes how the platform's reporting reaches and resonates across digital channels, pairing sharp storytelling with a global eye for the stories that cut through the noise.

A Canadian based in London, Jessica brings a versatile skill set spanning writing, video production, content creation and digital strategy. Her reporting digs into the climate crisis and its tangled relationship with economics and influence, from the politics of COP summits to the role of Indigenous communities as the world's frontline protectors of biodiversity. She writes to change the narrative, not just describe it.

Before The Chief Brief, Jessica built her craft as a freelance multimedia journalist and as a social media manager for TOGETHERBAND and BOTTLETOP, where she led storytelling across platforms for campaigns tied to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Her freelance work has appeared across UK and international outlets, spanning features, human-interest reporting and digital content. She studied at MacEwan University in Canada.

At The Chief Brief, Jessica combines editorial instinct with platform fluency, helping amplify women leaders and underreported stories from the geographies that drive the world's agenda but don't yet set it. Her focus is simple: tell the stories that matter, and make sure they land.
