Senior quote: “Super-fantastic!”
After more than 20 years in the marketing communications business, Jake still carries unbridled enthusiasm for the craft of brand building. He is often heard rallying the troops saying, “They LOVE us!” And the team knows it’s a factual statement that can be attributed to Jake’s adept ability to balance insightful strategy with laser-focused tactics.

Jake knows how to get customers to love his clients’ brands. He’s passionate about great ideas and is a tireless advocate for generating measurable results. So, in many ways, you could say that he’s a lover and a fighter.
