Jason Campbell

Jason Campbell is a creative director at Wieden+Kennedy, Portland. Born and bred in Kingston, Jamaica, he’s also lived in London, New York, and San Francisco.
Jason holds a BFA in advertising from the School of Visual Arts in NYC, where he initially thought he was going to become an accomplished painter. In 2005, he graduated as the top student in advertising. That same year, Adweek named him one of the “Top 5 Ad School Graduates” in the nation and the One Club awarded him the prestigious Patrick Kelly Scholarship.
Jason spent some time interning at Wieden+Kennedy, New York before being recruited to join the team at J. Walter Thompson. At JWT, he worked as both a writer and art director to help craft campaigns that won new business accounts, including JetBlue and Stride Gum.
After two years at JWT, he headed west to Goodby Silverstein & Partners. There, he helped the agency transform itself into a digital powerhouse. He created and contributed to award-winning campaigns for the NBA, Comcast, HP, Sprint, and Yahoo as the agency racked up numerous industry accolades. It was during this time that Jason realized learning from the best was even better when you could share it with others. This led to a teaching position at Miami Ad School in addition to his full time creative position with GS&P.
In 2013, Jason reunited with his creative soul mate, W+K, joining the Portland office as a senior creative on Nike. While in this role, he generated iconic work for some of sport’s biggest names. In 2016, he was promoted to the position of creative director. To date, Jason’s work has been extensively written about, tweeted about, gone viral, spoofed culturally, seen internationally, and honored at all the major award shows.
