Adam Jackson
@adamjackson1
I build integrated brand campaigns for tech and challenger brands.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've led integrated creative at VML for Microsoft, Intel, Hyatt, T-Mobile, Mazda, and Snapdragon, taking campaigns from concept through execution across social, digital, and TV.
As an Associate Creative Director, I run brainstorms and creative reviews as a player/coach, mentoring writers and designers while partnering closely with design, motion, and production teams.
Earlier, I shaped copy and concepts for challenger brands at The Grist, helped sharpen PopCorners' positioning, and won the Little Dishl account through a new-business pitch. I've also grown healthcare brands at GSW and created work for UPS, Coca-Cola, Verizon, Pepsi, Sierra Mist, Reebok, and HP.
I'm a copywriter at heart who brings clear thinking and resourceful creative work to brands of every size.
