EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR

JASON
WOLSKE


Throughout my career I’ve witnessed many truths. One in particular is this – people buy products and services but invest in brands. With both emotion and money. It’s rare that ads make you feel something. but when they do, boom. and when a brand expresses who they are and connects with people, bigger boom. We’re bombarded with messages and targeted with ads all day long. So when one of them makes you smile, or laugh, or cry, or makes you stop think a bit, it’s a massive win. It doesn’t matter the product or service – from cars and tech to burgers or shoes.

 

I’m CURRENTLY THE ECD AT DAVID THE AGENCY, MIAMI

I was born and raised in Miami, but I've had the chance to live a few places around the country for different bits of time, doing different bits of things. Aside from work, my life is unevenly divided between myself, my incredible wife, and my two super rad kids. Creativity, cars, and the ocean constantly are in a constant battle for my time and imagination. I own a small furniture company. I’m the only employee. I’m also half owner of a rare and unique plant company. Reach out for a friends and family discount. I'm an organized hoarder. I hate waste and being wasteful. Anything can become something useful if you approach it the right way. I have an AA in Marketing, a Bachelors in Advertising, a Minor in Packaging Science, and I firmly believe in the power of learning something new every day. I love to collaborate. I love to lead. I love being a part of growth that benefits all of us and I know how important it is to trust the process and believe in people.
