Lovely words like circus, coffee and jackass.

"Jake is a hugely talented creative who, most importantly knows what a proper idea looks like... and he has them in spades. Starting with that clear simple idea, he can then apply it equally effectively across any medium. Jake is an invaluable creative to have around. Not only is he full of ideas, he's brimming with initiative and proactivity too. If he's available, and you're looking, hire him. Though I can't guarantee I won't try to poach him back..."

Jon Elsom, Group Creative Director, McCann Central

"Jake is full of energy and ideas, always looking to get the most out of a brief and take ideas further. He cares about every piece of work he touches, making it fun and rewarding to work with him on projects. In short, he's the sort of person you just want on your team."

Chris Malt, Senior Creative, BrayLeino 

"Jake spent a considerable amount of time working for the circus, he has bigger muscles than you and a fascination with Jackass but don't hold that against him. Creative, hardworking and when he bothers to make a cup of tea it's usually drinkable."

James Callahan, Creative Director and Founder, FutureDeluxe

"Jake has a terrific work ethic and infectious enthusiasm for the craft of advertising. His day doesn't end at 5.30, as he just doesn't stop thinking and creating. Jake very quickly made himself part of the furniture at AUK and a popular personality on the floor. And he's lightning quick with a Mac, equally happy turning round a set of brand guidelines or a brand film. He'll also babysit your office dog."

Zane Radcliffe, Creative Director, AUK

"I couldn't recommend Jake more highly. He has an infectious personality, he is overflowing with ideas and he makes a superb addition to our creative team. His only downfall is wishing he was around in the heyday of advertising, when TV was king and tobacco was smoked in the office."

Saman Mansourpour, Managing Director, AUK
