“I recently had the opportunity to work side-by-side with Jeff on a recent shoot for a State Farm national social media campaign. As the client, I found Jeff to be super collaborative and deeply engaged with a great eye for design detail that we need for our social media creative. This includes tasteful, authentic, simple, and clean set design, a careful watch on vertical social sizing and quick timing for brand cards and tight :15s/:08s/:06s, clear, readable SUPERs that work well with picture, excellent choices in the editing suite during post, and an inside understanding of the video narratives, the comedic timing, and our brand and campaign messaging. Jeff was a great partner for both his creative agency and us as the client—before, during, and after the shoot. Excellent creative and nice working with you Jeff!”

“The thing about Jeff is...he can’t stop caring. He doesn’t let it go. “Good enough” is never enough. That’s what makes him such a strong and intuitive art director. Passion. Jeff puts his heart and soul into every aspect of his work. He is passionate about everything he touches- from banners to broadcast to presentation deck after deck after deck-Jeff doesn’t miss a beat. And he’s super proficient on all the design platforms; he knows every shortcut and backroad to getting things done better, faster and more efficiently. Plus he’s funny as hell. If you are looking for old school values as well as new skill and expertise, Jeff is your guy. But move quickly...cuz I’m not the only one who thinks so....”

“Jeff Brown doesn’t just have a first and last name that you compulsively want to say all together—he has a first and last name that you’re always glad to see on your team’s roster, and as your AD partner. I had the pleasure of working with him on several Marlboro projects at Leo, and was continuously impressed with the ideas he brought to the table, and then brought to life through his work. From the big picture to the smallest details, Jeff Brown takes the time to think through it all with you, and that shows in the final product. He’s a true creative mind and partner, and I look forward to working with him again one day.”
