jeff Gelberg

creative director /

copywriter / editor

Every zone is my comfort zone.

As a copywriter and creative director for many of the most respected and acclaimed advertising agencies around, I’ve worked on and won awards for some of the more recognizable blue-chip brands on the planet.

What do I bring to the party? Strategic thinking. Creative solutions. Work that resonates. Of course, I’m not the only one who can bring them. But no one else brings them quite the way I do. It’s like getting that Barton Fink feeling. You see where I’m going.

Anyway, here’s the good news: from broadcast to web banners, I’ve created content in every medium for virtually every category imaginable.
Cars to casinos. Fashion to fast food. Entertainment to electronics.
Pro sports to pro bono. And everything in-between.

As a matter of fact, I’ve even written agency holiday cards.

In case you didn’t get one, Merry Christmas.

The Work

;

No really, you’re too kind.

“Jeff Gelberg communicates in every language necessary, including “actor-speak,” to deliver a project in its most effective form. He communicates in a subtextual way as well; a performer senses and rises to Jeff’s personal commitment to excellence. His self-confidence contributes a feeling of safety, which helps an actor give his best effort. And, underpinning the whole process is the unmistakable recognition that Jeff Gelberg is a good soul.”

Todd Susman, Actor

“Jeff is a talented, creative, and valuable resource I know I can count on. Not only does he have a handle on the immediate assignment, but he also gets the big picture. With deadlines approaching like a runaway train, Jeff always comes through with more than we expected.”

Marty Muller, Senior Vice President, Creative Global Marketing, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts

“Jeff is the guy you call if you want someone ‘who just plain gets it.’ He doesn’t need the hand-holding. He grasps the essence of the strategy and then cleverly delivers it in copy.”

Nicolette Munoz, Director of Marketing, Universal Citywalk – NBC Universal

“Jeff’s creative work is consistently innovative and full of surprises. His unique and versatile approach to marketing, advertising and production makes each and every job a delightful event.”

Christopher Keenan, Vice President, Creative Affairs, Warner Bros. Animation

“Jeff always manages to find the elusive balance between information and entertainment that creates real consumer relevance. His ideas and his writing are first rate and his professionalism lifts everyone’s game.”

Martin Lauber, Founder/CEO, Swirl Integrated Marketing

“Jeff is a gifted communicator whether developing a brand or writing in an established voice. I counted on Jeff for his interesting insights on marketing challenges and appreciated that he always brought a multitude of creative ideas to the table. Also didn’t hurt that his sense of humor and style of work made projects seem easier than they oftentimes were.”

Robbynn Lystrup, Vice President, Director of Client Services, JU Creative Marketing

“Jeff is by far not the only most talented copy writer I have ever worked with, he is also a very detailed and team driven person, with a heart of gold. He is a blast to work with and his creative energy that he brings into “Brain Storming” meetings is immeasurable and is a real asset to the creative process.”

Dale Brewer, VP of Design & UX, Small Business at U.S. Bank

“I’ve worked with—as well as hired—Jeff several times, and here’s why. As a writing partner he’s top notch, and ALWAYS pushing for better work. He also spells much better than me, and his grammar and punctuation are flawless. Hiring him as a freelancer was always a no-brainer because every time he delivered the best work, and lots of it. As an added bonus he’s seen every film ever made, and hasn’t missed a Comic Con or Springsteen concert in years.”
Doug Finelli, Executive Creative Director, CrowdStrike
