Jake has been an incredible asset to our team in Philadelphia as we have produced shows at The Blockley and The Ardmore Music Hall. Being a small business in the music industry, smart and creative content is both tremendously important, and also very difficult to generate at a reasonable cost. Fortunately, we befriended Jake, and as a one-man show he has filmed and edited many of the very best pieces of content that we have captured in over 7 years of concert production. I've enjoyed working with him as a reliable professional and a strong communicator, but also love his artistic style and his ability to truly capture the heart and essence of an event from a variety of angles. And often times, the best multimedia partners I work with from a creative standpoint are not great with turnaround time, but Jake has been amazing at providing me with fantastic footage that I can use quickly as promotional tools.
The perfect blend of marketing acumen and creative genius all wrapped up into one. I can only say that I've had the privilege to work alongside Jake. He thrives on tough projects -- where brainstorming and team input only enhance the outcome. From email marketing to video production, Jake is a poised member of the team who offers sound advice from years of experience. I learned a lot from Jake and relish the opportunity to work alongside him again!
Whether it's live music video direction and production or managing a complete overhaul of a website that serves a $21 Billion industry, Jake Krolick is someone I want on my team. Somehow he is able to do a balancing act when teams are undecided, at odds or afraid to try something different. He is the person you want leading a team to get to the finish line. Why? He has incredible vision, a knack for breathing fresh air into a brand or brand experience, knows how to build and guide a team and most importantly, he makes it all fun. Jake blends his interests (music, extreme snow sports and living life to the fullest) with his day job in a manner that would make most envious.
Jake Krolick is an amazing creative director. He's fun, exciting and brings this great level of energy to the table. He has great perspective because he's real-life. He lives every opportunity to the fullest. You can see it in his big smile, giant ideas and his crazy enthusiasm, in and out of work. I know if I need help, I can always ask Jake. Much of my ability to satisfy the high expectations of our sales teams depends on the support of his team, and they always, always, always come through. I've become a stronger product marketer because Jake and his team bring my ideas to life in such vivid detail. I admire Jake as a manager, too. He leads a very talented group of designers in a way that encourages growth, creativity and longevity. He genuinely cares about everyone he works with. I really enjoy working with Jake. It's his personal touches that make the biggest difference.
Jake is an extremely talented creative director who loves to push the 'creativity' envelope as well as push others to do their best. I am honored to work with Jake in many levels!
