As the partner focused on strategy, he designs, develops, and delivers organizational media strategies, tactics and processes as well as marketing / communication campaigns and stories. Jeremy also helps organizations and businesses grow by designing and developing organizational strategy and structure, group/team dynamics and strategic ideation/innovation.

He enjoys spending time with his family, reading 5-6 different books at a time (ask him which fiction book he’s reading before bed right now), Chicago sports (Da Bears! Da Cubs! Da Bulls!), fishing (for the metaphor), media (especially video games and movies), and eating delicious food all over the country.
