Jacob Sillman

Blending fantasy and reality. Subtle comedy.
Elevated humor in real-world setting.
A Personal Note From Jacob - “This creative is quirky, tongue-in-cheek that with strong casting, subtle performances, and eye-catching production design to elevate the comedic premises, this spot will shine. I know how to find the right actors and work with them to get very specific delivery, sometimes down to which eyebrow they raise, or a unique hand gesture, in order to sell through more nuanced comedy.
In addition, I know how to employ more "over the top" art direction, i.e. a prop or background piece being revealed, falling off a wall, or lighting up at the right time to really help land the jokes. My Viking and Hello Fresh spots showcase my ability to create the art direction and situational comedy needed for these scripts. I have a talent to create dry, grounded humour, highlighted in my vote privacy spot. I can absolutely sell through the specific type of humour in these spots and would love to be a part of your team in bringing this campaign to life!”
