About Jessica Gioglio, The SavvyBostonian

Thank you so much for visiting The SavvyBostonian!  My name is Jessica Gioglio and I created The SavvyBostonian in 2006 as a forum to share my thoughts, tips, and adventures around Boston and beyond. After living in the Boston-area, I moved to London in 2015 and as a result have expanded my blog focus to cover my life in London, travels, recipes and other adventures. I still go back to Boston regularly throughout the year, which is why I chose to keep my blog name!

Outside of this blog, I work professionally in marketing and am the proud co-author of two bestselling books, The Power of Visual Storytelling for Social Media and The Laws of Brand Storytelling. You can learn more on JessicaGioglio.com.

Interested in Pitching The SavvyBostonian?

I do not accept SEO link insertions or guest posts designed purely for search engine arbitrage. If your pitch is simply about placing links for a client, please don’t reach out.

That said, I am open to genuine collaborations that align with The SavvyBostonian’s content and values. The hero rule here is simple: anything I feature, I must experience personally. From trying a new restaurant, hotel, or travel experience to reviewing products like suitcases, skincare, clothing or local events—if it’s relevant to my readers and something I can authentically experience, I’m open to exploring potential partnerships.

If you’d like to discuss a collaboration, influencer opportunity, or a creative brand partnership, I’d love to hear from you.

What Do I Cover on The SavvyBostonian?

At its core, The SavvyBostonian is a mix of personal storytelling, insider guides, and curated finds. While I’ll always be a Bostonian at heart, I now call London home—so you’ll find both cities featured regularly, alongside my travels around the world.

Here’s what you can expect to see:

  • City Guides & Local Life: Deep-dive guides and blog posts on Boston and London—two cities I know and love.
  • Life Updates: A personal peek into what I’m up to, from big milestones to everyday adventures.
  • Fab Finds: Beauty, skincare, fashion, travel gear, basically anything I’ve tried, loved, and think my readers will too.
  • Recipes: The meals and treats I’m actually cooking at home.
  • Travel & Hotels: Stories from my global adventures, plus honest reviews of the hotels and apartment rentals that I stay in along the way.

If it’s something I’ve personally experienced and genuinely recommend, that’s what you’ll see on The SavvyBostonian. Any sponsored content or affiliate links will always be disclosed.

Professional Background

Beyond The SavvyBostonian, my career has always centered around marketing and the art of storytelling. As mentioned above, I’m the co-author of two marketing books: The Power of Visual Storytelling for Social Media, a practical guide to using images and video to connect with audiences, and The Laws of Brand Storytelling, the definitive playbook for telling the stories that matter most to your business.

Today, I speak at conferences and advise brands around the world on how to craft and share stories that inspire action. You can find more of my professional work, articles, and talks at JessicaGioglio.com.

Fun fact: My career in social media actually started right here—through blogging on The SavvyBostonian and building early corporate blogs. This site has been the launchpad for so much of what I do today (check out my story).
