Hello. Jarrett here. A bit about me…
I am a multi-faceted Creative with a broad range of talents uniquely suited for advertising, branding and design.
I bring desire, know-how and passion to every project on which I work. My ability to recognize and understand what it takes to formulate smart creative strategies and translate them into highly effective creative solutions is unsurpassed.
Dubbed a ‘Big Idea Guy’ by a former Creative Director, I also have the ability to focus on the details and execute any idea by working seamlessly with other creative team members and clients involved throughout the production process. What’s more, I’m able to write in many styles to suit different target audiences – from skateboarding teens to company Executives.
After transferring from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to the University of Minnesota where I graduated with a BA in Journalism with an emphasis on Advertising, I worked for more than a decade on a full-time and freelance basis at more than a dozen advertising agencies throughout the United States. During that time, I learned from some of the best, distanced myself from the mediocre and honed my strategic and creative skills to a razor sharp edge.
Over the course of my career as a Copywriter, Creative Director and Agency Owner, I assisted many leading companies with their branding and advertising efforts. My client experience covers many product/service categories which enables me not only to build a strong understanding of these industries and their consumers, but also to leverage a wealth of knowledge, strategic insights and fresh thinking.
