Jonah RudyBrand & digital strategist
About

Strategist first.

I love promoting and building brands. I hate promoting myself. So here are four quick things about me and my work.

Portrait of Jonah Rudy
The job

Win new business. Build trust.

I help organizations win new business and build trust with their clients so their brands grow. Period. Exclamation point.

The range

Iconic brands and small businesses

I've created digital marketing for Kaiser, Intel, Fox, Gillette, Luxor and more. I equally love helping smaller brands level the digital playing field.

The start

I earned my seat at the table

My first advertising job was junior designer at a large San Francisco agency. After hours I built imaginary campaigns for our clients, copy and all. The prize was a promotion and a seat at the table creating real ones.

The focus

Sectors I care about

Healthcare, non-profit, music, film, aviation and the outdoors. I feel lucky to have turned those interests into engagements.
