WHAT ELSE?
CREATIVE DIRECTOR extraordinaire

As creatives, we tend to find sanctuary in pixels and keyframes.

Hi, I’m Jay.

Thank you for stopping by, and I can’t wait to get to know you. To start, I’ll tell you a little about myself.

I’ve spent most of my life helping create things that inspire action. To me, marketing is simple: Express your core beliefs filtered through your unique culture, delivering authentic value to others. In 15 years of dedicated experience in the industry, I've donned many hats – from being an advertising executive to a musician, a trusted consultant, a Fractional CMO, and an invested mentor and that has always remained true. I’ve committed my career to that expression of belief, converting beliefs into fandom and bridging fandom to culture.

EXPERIENCE ISN'T EVERYTHING, BUT...

Throughout my journey, I've been fortunate to craft extraordinary campaigns for a remarkable lineup of esteemed brands. Some of these brands, whose stories I've had the pleasure of shaping, include household names such as Spotify, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Country Crock, Bertolli, JBL, Harman Kardon, McDonald's, NFL, Republic Records, Universal Records, Popsicle, and more.

My unwavering commitment to the marketing world has led me to consult with businesses, where I help them connect authentically with their target audiences while propelling their growth. And that’s earned me an array of prestigious awards along the way, including the illustrious Cannes Lions, Effies, Clios, and recognition in Ad Age's prestigious Creator 100.
