About | Jason Mann - Creative Director

Hello

Briefcase

Here's a little bit about me.

My first job in advertising was when I was two years old.

Nothing makes me happier than a good brief and a quick deadline.

I believe that being clear and clever always leads to impactful creative work.

90% of my life decisions are influenced by my love of peanut butter.

I've married 33 people. Seriously.

I saw Caddyshack II before the original.

It makes me sad if I go too long without grilling.

This is what I look like to people with

Lego Ocular Disorder.
