ABOUT ME
There’s no shortage of marketers, designers, or creative directors out there. But finding someone who can think like a strategist and execute like a doer… that’s a different story.
Meet Jake Ciulla, a hands-on creative and marketing strategist who built his career through hustle and an eye for what actually works.
Jake’s path didn’t start in marketing. In fact, it started in music. For years, he worked as a professional trumpet player, performing and auditioning across the country. But when the pandemic hit, that world shut down overnight. With a newborn at home and bills to pay, Jake did what he’s always done, he figured it out.
​
While working an entry-level office job, he began to notice what wasn’t working. Branding that felt off, websites that didn’t flow, messaging that missed the mark. So he leaned in. He taught himself design tools, studied marketing strategy, and started offering ideas and creative support wherever he saw a gap. That’s when he realized this was more than curiosity, it was a calling.
From there, it snowballed. Jake stepped into roles as a social media lead, then marketing manager, and eventually was hired by a full-service agency as Director of Account Management overseeing all client accounts, execution, and performance across a wide range of industries.
Today, Jake runs his own design and marketing business and serves as Marketing Director for a fast-growing tech startup. He brings a rare mix of strategy, creativity, and real-world experience to every brand he works with and he still freelances as a musician, just to keep things interesting.
Jake believes every brand has a story worth telling and he’s here to help you tell it right.
