Meet Jennifer

Jennifer L. Krempin Bridgman,

Jennifer L. Krempin Bridgman wrote her first story at age 4, scribbled in blue pen on the inside cover of a Sunshine Family paper doll book–and she hasn’t stopped writing since.

These days, as a professional writer and former journalist, Jennifer L. Krempin Bridgman has built a nationally recognized career as a communicator. Today, as principal of Jennifer L. Krempin & Associates, she is passionate about cultivating “words that work” for the benefit of her clients: newspapers, magazines and blogs of all sizes; small start-ups, sole proprietors and entrepreneurial ventures; health care organizations; academic institutions; legal and professional services firms; and financial services companies.

Jennifer's First Story (age 4)

Throughout her career, Jennifer has held a variety of writing, editing, communications, and senior marketing and communications managerial positions spanning more than a decade in financial services, health care and legal services arenas.

Before starting her own company, she served as communications and PR manager for a regional law firm based in Minneapolis and Washington, D.C., and as director of marketing and communications for an AmLaw 100 law firm in Washington, D.C. She has maintained an extensive freelance writing portfolio, including writing regularly for Gannett and serving as managing editor of Green Bay magazine.

An unapologetic “idea person,” Jenniferbrings joy and creativity to her work. Clients and colleagues regularly decribe her as professional, thoughtful, enthusiastic—and never boring.
