Sr. Content Strategist and Copywriter

Welcome! I’m Jeanne Grunert, a Sr. Content Strategist, Copywriter, and Novelist.  As a Content Strategist, I blend my background in digital marketing and writing to leverage storytelling for marketing and sales enablement. I provide fractional, contract-based content marketing and copywriting support to technology, healthcare, and education companies nationwide.

In 2007, I founded Seven Oaks Consulting, offering fractional and freelance content marketing services. Prior to founding Seven Oaks, I served as the Director of Marketing for education companies in the New York City area, including The College Board (the SAT and AP people), a division of McGraw-Hill Education, and a division of Teachers College, Columbia University. I also led marketing for a financial services company and a retail garden center.

Fun fact: I met two state governors while working in the education industry.

Freelance Writing

Before I became a direct marketer, I was a writer. I worked as an advertising copywriter and freelance magazine writer. I was a freelance journalist and a competitive equestrian and horse show groom, so most of my published articles appeared in horse sports magazines or business journals.

Fun fact: I interviewed an Olympic equestrian, Nona Garson, for a magazine article. Nona competed in the 2000 Olympics.

Novelist Jeanne Grunert

I am also a novelist, and if you are here because you have read one of my books, THANK YOU! The Majek Family Mysteries, featuring widowed, wealthy corporate CEO David Majek, his outlandish father, and his children, have been a hit with readers since I Believe You was published in 2016. Many readers love these character-driven stories and my ability to include older adults and people with disabilities. >>>See  my books on Amazon.com 

Fun fact: I won a short story contest and studied with Nebula Award-winning fiction writers Nancy Kress and Stephen Donaldson. I was just 14 years old when I won the contest, and the first prize was a free ticket to a writer’s conference.

Get to Know Me

Writer. Gardener. Cat Rescuer. Nature Lover. Perpetual Optimist.

When I am not writing or leading content marketing, you can find me outdoors. I love to garden and grow fruit, vegetables, and herbs. I run the popular gardening website, Home Garden Joy.

I enjoy hiking with my husband, John, and our German Shepherd dog. We have hiked many trails in our National and State Parks, as well as several sections of the Appalachian Trail.

I also love to cook and bake, and am continually experimenting with new recipes. If I hadn’t become a writer and marketing manager, I would have been a professional baker, or pursued a career working with animals.
