10 things that set us apart:
Creative Director
Jeffrey Smith
Jeff is the most talented creative director we have had the pleasure of working with. He graduated from SCAD and has worked with dozens of major brands, including Harry Potter, Target, Seagrams, and many others. We connected over a like-minded approach to building a creative environment that we can all thrive in, both as an agency and as clients.
Video Production and Marketing
Zachary Burke
Another SCAD graduate, Zachary, has worked with Spyhop for 10 years. The first day, he set a goal to be our go-to, right-hand person for production work, and we've never looked back! Never one to back away from a challenge, his strengths include video production, photography, online platforms, and social media.
Motion Media Director
Aaron Gravit
Also a SCAD grad, Aaron has been working with Spyhop for over a decade on motion graphics for all of our major clients. His work is integral to sharing client stories in an engaging and memorable way.
Onsite Producer & Food Stylist
Ashleigh Jacobs
We met Ashley when she acted in one of our Emmy-nominated commercials. But her natural talent is working with us behind the scenes on set. She has an excellent eye for detail (especially styling food!), a fantastic work ethic, and a terrific personality that sets the tone for our set.
