About Evan Jacoby

I\'m Evan, a communications & social media specialist, digital marketer, and creative writer with 12+ years of experience in a number of different industries including ed-tech, sports & entertainment, political campaigns, nonprofits, and consumer app startups. I\'ve spent my career leading or contributing to social & digital teams with large audiences that have offered different challenges, and I\'m motivated most by mission-driven creative work.As of June 2025 I’m excited to join the USA branch of childhood cancer care nonprofit, World Child Cancer, helping promote life-saving treatments for children in low- and middle-income countries through digital storytelling via social media, email campaigns, website management, and partnerships.From 20••••25, I advanced my career on the Social Impact team at Study.com, growing a high-performing social media strategy from the ground up, sending company-wide internal communications, helping develop award-winning social responsibility initiatives, representing the company at community events and much more. This experience of making education accessible has continued my drive to focus on mission-driven work.In the past, I spent six years at the NBA from 20••••18 as a leading member of the social team, which included voicing the biggest moments on and off the court from @NBA social channels, traveling to hundreds of events to capture & edit behind-the-scenes content, managing a team of four, and collaborating across the league business.Since 2018, I also co-founded sports technology startup “Yamble,” a consumer app and group chat companion to live TV events. I\'ve worked freelance as a social media consultant for brands of varying sizes. And I worked on the Tom Steyer 2020 presidential campaign, leading to continued work in the digital campaign space through non-partisan project Vote-by-Mail-for-All spearheaded by Colorado Secretary of State, Jena Griswold, ahead of the 2020 presidential election.On the personal side, I love live music & sports, running, traveling, and meeting new people with different perspectives. I have a curiosity to learn more and help others do the same. Let’s connect!
