Jessica Gillingham

I’m the founder and CEO of Abode Worldwide, a boutique public relations partner for technology innovators and tech-enabled operators in hospitality, real estate, and modern rental living. My mission is simple: to build category leaders and create brand value that drives real commercial success for the pioneers redefining how we work, rest, and play. In a crowded, noisy marketplace, credibility is everything. Whether you’re scaling fast, attracting investment, entering new markets, or leading your category, your story must reach the right people, in the right way, at the right time. Abode’s team of industry specialists delivers high-impact public relations and strategic communications, leveraging deep sector expertise, unique partnerships, and global reach to accelerate your growth. I’m also the author of "Tech-Enabled Hospitality" and co-host of the Pillow Talk Sessions podcast, where I explore the future of hospitality, the “hotelization” of real estate, the convergence of lodging asset classes, and proptech innovation.
