Chicago-based creative, social media manager, and chronic believer that brands should have a personality.

Good ideas, Put to Work
Iβm Jackson, a Chicago-based creative and social media manager working across strategy, content, branding, and community.
My career has taken a few turns⦠from photography and higher education to digital communications, hospitality, agency life, and some pretty iconic beer brands. That range has shaped the way I approach creative work with curiosity, a strong point of view, and an understanding that a great idea has to do more than look good.
Today, I work across social for Molson Coors brands, helping translate established brand identities into content, conversations, and culturally relevant moments. Iβm especially drawn to the space where strategy and creativity meet, taking a wild idea from βwhat if?β to something thoughtful, distinctive, and ready to put out into the world.
And Iβm always interested in whatβs next. Whether youβre building a brand, refreshing one, or simply have an idea you want to bring to life, Iβd love to connect!
