A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT ME.
Hi, I'm Jason Talbot. Originally from New York, I now call Detroit home. As an Art Director, my passion goes beyond just great design—what truly drives me is a great idea. For me, the joy of this industry lies in the creative process and the gratification in simply, “making stuff.”
I have experience in digital, social, print, web, logos, brand guidelines, presentations, storyboards, and just about anything else ad-related.
When not working, I’m spending time with my family or engaging in something sports-related, a passion I've had since childhood. Sports is kind of my thing. You’ll understand that more when you scroll down.
HOW IT ALL STARTED…
This was the first commercial I ever produced. As an intern at BBDO New York, I had the chance to pitch some TV ideas for M&Ms. The coolest part? Growing up, I was a huge fan of the M&Ms characters and always dreamed of creating a commercial for this iconic candy brand. It was surreal to achieve that dream with my very first gig. Thankfully, I've got plenty of other goals and aspirations to chase after this one!
Let’s Talk Knicks PODCAST
Back in 2008, I met a fellow Art Director at The Creative Circus. He was from New York, a Knicks fan, and that was all it took for us to know we'd be friends for years to come. As ad guys, we were always brainstorming ideas beyond advertising, usually around things we both enjoyed. We even wrote a pilot for a TV sitcom, but the idea that really stuck was the Let’s Talk Knicks Podcast. Over the years, we've grown our following, and with the team's recent resurgence, we're ramping up our social media presence and content production for the upcoming season. What started as a fun hobby might just turn us into the next Mike Breen and Clyde Frazier. Hey, you never know!
