About Brandon Scott Jacobson

Valuing culture and community are fundamental principles that I deeply cherish. These elements of our daily lives offer us the opportunity to have a positive impact on those around us. I make it my responsibility to exemplify these values both in my personal brand and within the workplace. Music has always been the driving force behind my primary goals, closely followed by film, TV, and video games. These passions serve as my sources of inspiration, hobbies, and pastimes. Within a company setting, a positive and motivated mindset can significantly boost team morale and attitude. With years of experience in media production, marketing, event coordination, and customer loyalty, I possess the ability to positively influence those around me with my consistently positive attitude. I am continuously eager to learn and remain curious. I regularly practice self-autonomy, time management, and a positive demeanor. Leading teams through digital resources and assets such as sound design software (Pro Tool) and communication (Zoom/Advanced Settings) has become second nature to me.
