Jared loves advertising because of the blend of strategic thinking and creative problem-solving it demands. Originally a film major, he graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a B.S. and M.A. in Advertising and started working in the ad-tech space, managing campaigns for notable clients like Nike, Honda, Walmart and Pennzoil. The itch to support cross-collaboration in a full-service agency environment brought Jared to Idea Peddler where he now enjoys supporting the entire campaign lifecycle alongside his friends across the agency. When he's not analyzing datasets or spec sheets, you can find him running around Austin training for his next marathon, trying a new recipe in the kitchen, packing up for a camping trip, cheering on the Texas Rangers, or defending his reputation as office fruit expert.
