I'm Jacob Shaw,

and I live for great

language

and clever content.

I was the six-year-old doodling ad ideas and fixing typos on the kids' menu at restaurants (then later rewording the specials to better reflect value proposition and brand voice). To the surprise of no one, I worked the next 16 years toward degrees in Film & Media and Psycholinguistics and have been specializing at the nexus of words, visuals, and consumer behavioral science ever since.

My passion is crafting fun, impactful, high-performing copy and concepts, honed through experience in on-set creative production and in strategic consulting at Kantar, where I continue to study how brands think, how to disrupt (and when not to), and how to benchmark campaign success.

I also lead the team behind Phissy, the #1 app in 30+ countries for rating and syncing restaurant orders. I am an independent filmmaker, nonprofit bakery co-founder, and caricaturist.

"What I enjoy most about Jacob is his shared excitement in what we are doing. He’s genuinely interested in finding out why our ads perform, and he is happy to share that joy like the teacher who takes pride in your learning. Nothing makes a client feel better than to hear that he gets a smile on his face when he sees a(nother) note in his inbox. Jacob works with us like we’re the only client he has."
