Jill de Jong, originally from the Netherlands, began her modeling career at age 17, traveling the world and working with iconic brands such as L’Oréal, Ralph Lauren, Escada, and Avon. She even played the famous heroine Lara Croft. Although she enjoyed the excitement and benefits of the fashion world, she soon discovered that her true passion lay in wellness.

Determined to follow her calling, Jill left her high heels behind to become a personal trainer and health coach. Her goal: to make a positive impact on the lives of others. During this period, she wrote the book Models Do Eat, published in 2019, whose launch in Times Square with 11 giant screens marked an unforgettable milestone in her career.

Following the success of the book, various brands began requesting her collaboration in content creation. It was then that Jill discovered her talent for leading influencer campaigns, managing social media, producing branded videos, and improving the customer experience. Her strategic and creative approach led her to work with start-ups and large corporations, tackling common challenges such as strengthening digital presence, generating relevant content, and coordinating campaigns with creators.

Jill detected a gap between brands’ expectations and what creators were delivering. Thanks to her attention to detail, she began re-editing content for Instagram and teaching creators how to better leverage the platform’s tools, achieving notable improvements in their performance.

Currently, Jill de Jong trains content creators to produce and edit high-quality Instagram reels, helping them attract customers, sell products, and close deals with brands. She also continues to lead digital campaigns from start to finish, facilitating influencer management and optimizing the social media strategy of the companies she works with.
