Crafting Stories. Building Relationships.
Growing Virginia.
For 25 years, I’ve helped businesses and communities thrive in the Old Dominion by shaping the narratives that open doors, build trust, and drive results. At S.C. Jones Consulting, we believe a rising tide lifts all ships — and the right story can make that tide rise for everyone.

About S.C. Jones Consulting
S. C. Jones Consulting is built on one core belief: economic development is powered by people and the stories that connect them.
With nearly three decades in newspapers and television, I’ve helped people and businesses shape their narratives — crafting stories that open doors and create lasting relationships — while also delivering results for companies eager to do business in the Old Dominion. My work has taken me extensively across the Mid-Atlantic, building strong rapport in Virginia, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., Maryland, and parts of West Virginia. Along the way, my servant leadership with the National League of Cities deepened my relationships across the country, giving me both a local touch and a national reach.
People lean on me for my thoughts and my opinion because they know I authentically want to see Virginia grow. I firmly believe that a rising tide lifts all ships — and that by telling the right story and building the right relationships, we can make that tide rise for everyone.
I bring over a decade of elected leadership as Mayor and Councilman of Harrisonburg, where I proudly advocated for schools, small businesses, and neighborhoods across every class, race, and region. I’ve built relationships across Virginia that cut through silos and “isms” — rural and urban, Eastern and Western, Black and white, boardroom and church pew.
