About


I’m Jacob. An Associate Creative Director with over 11 years of experience in art direction and advertising. I’m passionate about finding creative solutions in client briefs—or even coming up with ideas when there isn’t one. I believe in telling stories through creativity and simplicity, and I’m committed to bringing strong ideas to life on any platform.

I’ve worked at major agencies like Ogilvy, Deutsch, and Leo Burnett, as well as smaller agencies, where I’ve taken on a range of roles, from copywriting and production to creative direction and design.

My experience includes working with well-known brands like Microsoft Outlook, Intel, Castrol, UPS, Samsung, PNC, Pfizer, Ford, Cadillac, NCAA, and Showtime. I have led and developed campaigns across all kinds of media, including branding, TV, photography, digital, social media, outdoor advertising, and print.

My work has won awards like the Webby, CLIO, Digiday, and D-Show, and has reached audiences across the country. Recently, I created digital ads for 30 universities to promote Samsung’s 85” TV. This campaign was well-received by fans and ran successfully for two NCAA football seasons.
