“Our plan is to blanket the country from a sales perspective, and Tim is right person to help lead us there,” said Optimus president Tom Duff.
Prior to working as EP/partner at Protein Editorial, Jacobs was a producer at Filmcore in Los Angeles, where he worked with Therese Hunsberger, Optimus LA’s EP/managing director. Jacobs eventually moved on to a producer position at Whitehouse Post in Chicago. His career began on the ad agency side of the house, working with clients such Gatorade, Coors Light and Visa.
“I’ve known and admired the team at Optimus ever since I returned to Chicago from California,” said Jacobs. “I’m at a perfect point in my career with solid contacts and the experience level to speak knowledgeably about all that Optimus has to offer – most importantly, its creative talent.”
