Our creator director Jake Thompson is a Campaign 30 Under Thirty winner!
Drum roll please…we’re excited to announce that our creator director Jake Thompson is officially a Campaign Media Week 30 Under Thirty 2024 award winner!
We couldn’t be prouder to see Jake make the list that celebrates young professionals demonstrating passion, creativity and brilliance within the media industry.
A self-taught designer, Jake joined SocialChain eight years ago as an intern. Since then, he’s been instrumental in some of our biggest, boldest campaigns, like the world’s first branded WhatsApp bot for Holland & Barrett and a talent campaign for H&M with a 52% conversion rate.
He also developed an award-winning TikTok series strategy for Amazon Prime Video and crafted a social playbook that earned KFC Twitter’s ‘top brand voice.’ We caught up with Jake for his reaction:
“Being featured on MediaWeek’s 30 Under 30 list is surreal and deeply gratifying. My journey from intern to creator director at SocialChain has been fuelled by curiosity and an unrelenting drive to innovate with intent. This recognition not only celebrates the campaigns and strategies I’ve spearheaded but also the incredible team and culture that’s made it all possible. It’s testament to the idea that curiosity, passion and the breathing space to pursue it can lead you to extraordinary places.”
Campaign’s judge said: “Jake has not only delivered great client work but developed an amazing internal culture for the benefit of his peers. An impressive rise and commitment to growing the craft and himself.”
