Born in Cumbria, Jake moved to Newcastle in 2016 to study Fashion Design and Marketing at Northumbria University. Possessing a mixture of creative and analytical skills, Jake felt that the fusion of design and marketing paired with his passion for technical menswear design was a great fit for him.
Jake lived in London for a year while studying. During this time he interned with an independent luxury menswear brand; gaining experience in social media management, product design and development, product activation, buying and procurement. Jake highlights how this role enabled him to combine his creativity with his naturally analytical way of thinking.
Working for a worldwide luxury retailer during his final two years at university, Jake was offered a position within their studio and content team upon the completion of his studies. During his time here he developed skills in content marketing, copywriting and project management.
Seeing a well-executed marketing campaign is something that makes Jake tick, he loves brands with powerful storytelling and notes how this can foster a lifelong relationship between the brand and the customer.
Jake hopes to develop and grow as a marketer, build on his current skills and gain new ones. He hopes to contribute to JUMP’s overarching success moving forward and is excited to see what the future holds.
Outside of work, Jake is an early riser and a keen runner with a passion for staying active and getting outdoors at every opportunity.
