Jo Greep, MPA
I am a writer, editor, strategist, and leader with more than 20 years of experience in strategic communications, nonprofit leadership, political advocacy, health care administration, and fundraising.
I thrive in fast-paced, mission-driven environments where storytelling takes center stage. I can help you get your story in front of the people who need to see it—whether that’s the media, donors, customers, supporters, patients, or voters.
And I’d love to work with you.

A highly skilled and adaptable leader
After years in-house with some of the nation’s leading nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and health care systems, I launched First Thoughts Media & Communications in 2022.
With a Bachelor’s in writing from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Master’s in public policy and management from NYU, I bring a unique blend of creative and analytical expertise to my work. Over the last two decades, I’ve led teams in communications, marketing, political advocacy, and development, and have helped navigate organizations through significant organizational restructures, political crises, global pandemics, and more.
I am as comfortable crafting irreverent marketing copy as I am drafting executive speeches or Congressional testimony. I can help you rebuild your communications and marketing team, secure a legislative victory in the state house, drive a media campaign to advance your cause or campaign, or revamp your website to boost your online traffic.
