There is no one way.
But there is a Jacobson way.

We refuse to take a cookie-cutter approach to our work.

No two communications clients have the same needs, and no two communications challenges are identical. What is the same across the bar is that we tackle each challenge with the same level of tenacity, partnering with you to take projects from idea to implementation. We work to understand your unique goals and needs, and always aim to exceed expectations.

Turning Ideas into Action

You don’t need to request our top staff. It’s a given.

We are a collective of unequaled, agile, talented, experienced professionals with three-to-four senior level people on every single account. When we source teams, we combine the best senior talent from a variety of disciplines — not just those with traditional communications backgrounds.

Backed by a strong in-office support team, we tailor and execute winning communications strategies for each and every client.

Our Unique Model

An empowered team is a productive team.

Our unique structure empowers every team member to do their very best work while encouraging a healthy work-life balance. This model benefits both the team as well as our clients, through collaboration, disruption, innovation, seasoned instincts, sound judgment, and strong and enduring relationships.

Our teams of senior-level professionals are built to include very different skill sets, so you can always be assured access to the best and the brightest in the communications world. We are always creating and delivering something new and innovative for our clients, and our teams are stacked so that nothing important falls through the cracks.
