Event Planning - I've run my own comprehensive event/meeting planning company nationally and internationally for 17 years. I manage marketing, PR, contracts/legal, budget creation, RFPs, site selection, theme creation, prospectus creation for sponsorship sales, vendor management, speaker acquisition, negotiation and contracts, set up/tear down, on-site management, diplomatic and dignitary protocol and decorum, full transportation management and post event review. Clients have included Kodak, Xerox, GM, Hewlett Packard, Anthony Robbins, Heineken and then NYS Governor George Pataki to name a handful. I independently create, arrange and manage singular events to multi-city events annually. Organization - Having my own event planning company requires extreme organization with high attention to every minute detail. It means pre-emptively preventing any potential issues prior to actualizing. I'm capable of both physical and non-physical organization. Operations - I've been a Regional Retail Operations Manager for a luxury department store chain (managing 5 locations) in the Middle East as well as the Operations Manager (and HR) managing A-Z of the total operations of the company including the corporate office and warehouse. I orchestrated the move of a 30,000 square foot warehouse with tremendous success. I share this to indicate I've held management positions of considerable responsibility. I'm fully capable of orchestrating events from A to Z. Event Planning is my passion! My gratitude comes on the event day when a perfectly successful event is implemented. I love making my clients achieve their desired outcome and attendees enjoying the entire event. Creation & Implementation of Processes/SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) - I have researched, advised and put processes in place for a number of start-ups as well as associations without proper infrastructure and vision. Project Management - Pulling all the pieces cohesively together on a timeline is my forte. This can fall as Project Management, Association Management for non-profits, Operations Management to Chief of Staff. Consultation - I provide consultations for companies that need direction, advice and steps for success regarding event planning, retail management, start ups and project management. Graphic Design - Often, I end up creating multiple graphics for my clients to include sales pieces, newsletters, info pieces with QR codes, festive flyers and more. I use Canva Pro for all designs. Research - I am successful at researching and delving into topics in great detail. I've produced reports for companies up to 72 pages to provide direction for them. I'm also open to hearing of any specific needs, even if different than the above specialties. I have an entrepreneurial mindset, am consistently positive, professional and aim to always exceed expectations. Bring me aboard to have a perfectly orchestrated project!

A Story Steeped in Sound Jessie, known in the industry as the “Music Business Nerd,” blends a solid foundation in music business with specialized expertise in intellectual property. Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Music Business and Audio Production from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and a Master’s degree in Intellectual Property Law from the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, Jessie is currently pursuing a J.D. at the ABA-accredited Western State College of Law. This multifaceted background enables Jessie to offer comprehensive consulting services to artists, talent managers, and industry professionals alike. Jessie’s services focus on safeguarding the creative and financial rights of talent through intellectual property protection, meticulous contract review and negotiations, and conflict resolution. Jessie is also dedicated to helping artists establish and manage their royalty accounts, conducting royalty audits (not forensic accounting), collection of past royalties (where possible), and providing hands-on guidance for tracking and monitoring royalty payments. Known for an analytical, detail-oriented approach, Jessie empowers artists and their teams with the knowledge and tools they need to maximize revenue and protect their work in a competitive and complex industry. As a seasoned advocate for artists’ rights and a passionate educator, Jessie Monville combines business savvy with a deep legal understanding, making a meaningful impact across the entertainment landscape. Jessie’s goal is to support a fair, transparent, and artist-driven music industry where creatives can flourish with an understanding of how their original works, and likeness are protected and compensated. *****IMPORTANT HOUSEKEEPING NOTES***** As I genuinely strive to "leave people better than I found them," I care very much for helping as many people as possible in understanding "The Machine." In my efforts to do so and against the urging of many amazing attorneys I work with, I keep the hourly rate quite low for the work product provided. That said, there have been a few instances of late where (perhaps innocently), a few have reached out with what started as a simple question and went on to many, requiring quite a bit of time. Please know that it would be disrespectful for those clients who are paying for consulting, for me to spend more than a couple minutes on a question without an agreement. I know it is likely unintentional, and I will always make a comment such as, "any further assistance will need to be contracted" in order to be fair to the clients who are paying for consulting. Always happy to hear your questions and help provide an estimate in advance. Appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your understanding and patience on responses and response times, as in order to accommodate clients from around the globe, I try to have unique hours where I am often working in the middle of the night into the early morning and again mid/late afternoon in order to accommodate as many time zones as possible and often on weekends. Therefore, while I am able to schedule calls/video consultation in a wide range of hours/days, please know if I have not answered your message quickly (and you are not a currently contracted client) it is likely I am recharging, taking a meal break, or in the middle of working on something for a client and I will answer as soon as possible. (Generally within 12 hours of receiving a message from a non-contract client) If you have a truly urgent need, i.e. song is releasing in 24 hours, or you received a "scary letter" please type URGENT clearly and as the first words. This, will capture my attention in less time. Lastly, in an effort to ensure all clients walk away with a better understanding of how "the machine" works in their unique situation, I will always do my absolute best to give you the options you have, possible outcomes of those options and generally standard industry practices in the given situation. Often this can be news that is not comfortable or what someone wishes to hear. Please know that it is my duty to be honest and transparent and sometimes, that is to give information that is not what a client hoped for. Just know, most situations are able to be worked out. In some cases it may be a little costly or time consuming, but it is more often than not the case that there are solutions. Where a matter requires a licensed attorney to assist, I work with several spanning several states, and they are happy to provide an Artist Friendly quote. ****MY GIFT TO CLIENTS**** Any client who has hired me for a total of $250 or more, may request a free copy of the guide I have been working on for years that breaks down: royalties, what they are, the registrations you actually need, and how "the money moves". Not a client or under $250? You may send a proposal for 1-hour of consulting with a note that it is for the guide, and I will send you the password protected document (24hrs).
