Our Story

JMC's founders, Meredith and Anna, met in 2014 at St. Francis Yacht Club, where they worked as the in-house communications team—Anna as a designer and Meredith as a sailing journalist.

In 2018, they realized private clubs nationwide needed to professionalize their communications but often lacked the time or expertise to do so. Inspired by their success at St. Francis Yacht Club, they decided to share their expertise with other top-tier private clubs.

On March 8, 2018, with encouragement from StFYC, JamiesonMae Communications was founded. Appropriately, JMC, which has grown into an all-female team, launched on International Women's Day.

Today, JMC boasts a top-tier team of specialists in video, apps, social media, SEO, website design, branding, writing, editing, and more. Partnering with JMC gives you access to this entire network, enhancing your ability to engage and retain members.

Fun fact: JamiesonMae’s name combines Meredith's middle name (Jamieson) and Anna’s middle name (Mae).

Over the years, we have established a trusted network of industry and creative partners whose talent elevates our products. We love working with these folks and know you will, too.
