    Jacobs returns to The Martin Agency with 20 years experience and a strong portfolio of work producing for top flight creative agencies including Wieden + Kennedy, Droga5, Mother and Fallon.

    “As a native of Richmond, I am thrilled to be coming home to work with one of the top agencies in the country,” said Jacobs. “Martin is the perfect place to make great work with great people like [EVP/managing director-production & development] Steve Humble and his team who are true believers and supporters of production as a whole.”

    In addition to Jacobs’ arrival, The Martin Agency will be expanding production capabilities in its New York office.
