A BRIEF HISTORY.
Jon grew up in NYC and graduated from Colgate University with a degree in English and Fine Art. In 2002, he joined Healthy Grey as a writer. Before long, he was crafting highly successful campaigns for some of the agency’s key clients.
In 2008, Jon created Tums “Food Fight”, Grey New York’s most successful global campaign to date, credited with revitalizing the brand after a decade of decline. That same year, he took on the nonstop world of retail, rebranding and launching LongHorn Steakhouse nationally.
With Longhorn’s success, Jon became Creative Director on Red Lobster, leading Grey New York’s first fully integrated account. A year later, the brand was awarded best integrated brand by Facebook, and Darden Restaurants experienced epic growth.
By 2013, Jon was selected by Tor Myhren to help lead Grey’s largest new global client - P&G’s Gillette - and launched three consecutive global campaigns for the brand. That same year, Grey scored the title of Adweek’s Global Agency of the Year.
In 2014, Jon took on the role of Group Creative Director overseeing the GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Portfolio, AARP Masterbrand, Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, and Bausch & Lomb. Over the next three years, Jon spearheaded a creative transformation across the portfolios and helped his clients usher in a new era of market success.
In January of 2019, Jon joined the director roster at HunterPark Productions to build out its full service creative consulting capabilities. After HunterPark’s highly successful launch, Jon joined forces with the NYC marketing masters at Seiden Advertising, where he is currently CCO and managing partner.
