About Jesse Hicks

My parents never quite understood what I do at my job until finally I helped launch Barbie on TikTok, and then they were really confused.Currently I am a Vice President, Story at Day One Agency, where I craft earned media campaigns for brands ranging from Lyft to Laffy Taffy.Previously I helped ATTN: launch it's TikTok studio and Agency department, running the social channels of brands like Airbnb, Verizon, TikTok and more.As Creative Director and Executive Producer I have years of experience making campaigns across display, documentary, experiential, social and television.I came up during the inception of YouTube, directing and producing several web series who's scrappy nature forced me to learn all sides of the filmmaking craft, from writing to directing, shooting to editing. Over the years I've taken these skills to large scale campaigns and TV projects, brought to life with multi-functional teams. Nevada City raised, New York trained, L.A. based. (đź’¨ I also co-founded a cannabis brand. đź’¨)

  • Weekenders Cannabis
    Chief Operating Officer
    Weekenders Cannabis Jan 2019 - Present
    Los Angeles, Ca, Us
    WEEKENDERS does cannabis a little differently. It's not just about getting as high as possible. It's about feeling better than you did before. We believe in the entourage effect. That the power of cannabis comes from a full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes interacting to create a multi-dimensional experience that makes THC alone seem like experiencing a concert by listening to a bootleg through a tape recorder.So we grow the finest, sustainable, Humboldt flower and to create effects that are balanced and beautiful so you can be high without losing control. (Unless, of course, you wanna lose control. We got products for that too.)Smoke Weekenders. Be high in society.
