Jennifer Willingham is a cultural strategist, movement builder, and CEO of EPIC — the leading full-service agency for faith-based brands and cause-driven campaigns.

With three decades of experience in publishing, publicity, and cultural influence, she has helped shape the public perception of bestselling authors, A-list entertainers, Grammy-winning artists, Fortune 500 brands, global nonprofits, and national causes. Her message-first approach helps leaders clarify what they stand for — and communicate it in ways that move people to action.

Before founding EPIC, Jennifer served as Vice President and Associate Publisher at Simon & Schuster, where she helped guide books and stories into the global spotlight. Today, she leads a coast-to-coast team that partners with visionaries to launch movements with authenticity, influence, and cultural resonance.

The signature problem Jennifer solves across client types is invisibility, pulling in neuroscience-based marketing and proprietary messaging techniques. 

The heartbeat of Jennifer’s work is simple: When message, mission, and movement align — culture shifts. She lives near Nashville with her husband and three daughters and a plethora of pets.
