Hello! 👋 I’m Jay Marsen. An award-winning freelance creative director guy based in New York City. Over the past 18 years, I’ve put my copywriting word-nerd brain to work at a bunch of different agencies and done some advertising stuff.

A few highlights:

🌎 Ranked #2 creative director globally in the 2023 One Show (I’ll try harder this year.)

🎾 Turned science fiction into reality with 63-year old John McEnroe playing the match of a lifetime against his younger self. (I won’t tell you who won…alright, fine—WE DID. A friggin’ Emmy!)

🏀 Changed the game for the NBA by turning what was thought to be a lost season into one of the most unbelievable comebacks of all-time. (I even got interviewed about it)

🎤 Helped female/non-binary artists take back the stage after being excluded from one of the biggest music award shows in Europe.

👀 Showed 113 million viewers that you can’t always believe what you see in a Super Bowl commercial.

💡 Created numerous business-moving, culturally impactful campaigns for clients across a wide-spectrum of different brands.

👨‍🏫 Hired to teach advertising at the School of Visual Arts with my longtime creative compadre Lex Beltrone (where we slowly earn back our tuition)

🎙️ Provided the sounds of a rabid honey badger tearing a guy to shreds after we couldn’t find a suitable sound effect during a radio record.
