Mary Jantsch is no B.S. writer and ghostwriter crafting authentic blog and social posts that make general platitudes and AI-generated content squeal and hide under the bed. Her specialty is serving clients as a ghostwriter for thought leadership, LinkedIn, and Substack posts as she helps tech leaders find their voice. She taps into her decade of professional experience leading HR and Recruiting for front-of-the-pack B2B startups and her own experience building a personal brand. When she’s not writing, Mary gardens and works at a local native plant nursery — or is arguing with her chocolate lab, Wally, that it is, in fact, not time for dinner. ✨ FEATURED IN: ProductHunt, BusinessInsider, Buffer Open Blog, Elpha, Workable, Leapsome, and ChartHop. 💜 WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY "I recommend Mary to any team that needs support for a small project or large initiative. She played a pivotal role in improving the training we provide to our partner companies. Mary helped build content and training materials and trained our team to improve our expertise in using scorecards and structured interviews. We immediately incorporated our new content and we're confident in training others using these tools. Mary is responsive, detail-oriented, and dependable. I look forward to working with Mary on future projects and enthusiastically recommend working with her." - Kate M. "Mary was at Buffer in the early years, she led the way in quality customer engagement & manages the expectations of clients very well. She understands the molten landscape of social web, growth marketing & PPC." - Kevin M. "Mary has a way with words that draw attention and get people to engage. She is thoughtful in her approach and strategic in her practice. Mary was a pleasure to work with and always proactive, thinking ahead as to the ways to make improvements. She is a great addition to any team! Plus she is fun to work with which means a lot in my book." - Shelly L. ✍️ MY FOCUS: - Ghostwriting thought leadership, LinkedIn, and Substack posts - Uncovering your unique voice and writing style - Breaking down complex (or, even, boring!) HR and B2B topics into digestible and interesting blog posts

I'm a father, creator, and activist with a deep-rooted commitment to social justice. My journey, marked by both challenges and triumphs, has shaped me into the person I am today. Formerly incarcerated, I successfully advocated for legislative change in California and have since dedicated my life to uplifting marginalized communities. As the co-founder of Re:Store Justice, I've led a team of passionate individuals, secured over $1.75 million in annual funding, and implemented impactful restorative justice programs. Through FIRSTWATCH, I've empowered incarcerated individuals by providing them with filmmaking tools and training. I've also founded Firstwatch Films to further support this initiative and foster creativity behind bars. With a strong belief in the power of storytelling, I've used my voice to raise awareness about systemic issues and inspire others to take action. My experiences have equipped me with a unique perspective and a relentless drive to create positive change.
