Formerly known as a pleasure to have in class at Northwestern University (B.S. Communication) while studying entrepreneurship & innovation, creative technology, and performance, Jay Towns is navigating Chicago's professional landscape by driving business with creativity. He hates referring to himself in the third person, so I'm going to stop that now.In marketing, I'm an advertising creative (FCB, ex. DDB) and brand consultant (Renaissance), creating campaigns for F100 enterprises and developing identities for cutting-edge startups. My passion for authentic storytelling has fueled over $15MM in sales, demonstrating my ability to turn strategic insights into $$$ through words and pictures on slide decks. I've been known to win new business by any means necessary, which may include flying across the country to serenade the client's executive team.In media, I'm the founder of Jay Towns Photography (est. 2018), delivering photos, videos, and good vibes to those in dire need. I've worked with hundreds of clients, including White Claw, Neiman Marcus, Chicago Innovation, Omnicom, and the Midwest Film Festival. This work has dropped me into an Indy 500 racecar, introduced me to former Disney Channel heartthrob Ryan McCartan, and plagued me with an irrational fear of premeditated SD card theft.In entertainment, I'm an on-screen and voice actor represented by Stewart Talent with performances on platforms like NBC, Amazon Prime Video, NPR, and Bleacher Report. My personal creative pursuits have amassed millions of organic impressions - 8.1k of which I owe to a music video about cats. Notably, Arian Moayed from Succession once said “Jay is good” when referring to me in an acting masterclass. I think about that sometimes.Beyond my professional ventures, I also have a heart for community engagement, serving on committees for the Chicago Advertising Federation and the Northwestern Club of Chicago. I’m also a proud Associate Board member of Prismatic, a Chicago-based nonprofit organization educating students on the value of EQ, which drives professional success two times more than technical skills and IQ combined.Let’s connect - especially if you have an interesting fact to share, an idea to bounce around, a new philosophy to propose, some music to nerd out about, or an underrated Chicago sushi spot to put me on.
