About
Steve Jacobson
I am a highly experienced creative and entertainment marketing executive with decades of domestic and international expertise spanning multiple sectors of the media and entertainment industries. Over the years, I have built, managed, and led a variety of creative and production teams, consistently achieving award-winning results that exceed expectations. My areas of expertise include creative development, creative strategy, technology, production finance, administration, and operations, all of which have shaped my comprehensive skill set in video content development, video and film production, and post-production.
Throughout my career, even while holding management roles across agencies and companies, I have remained deeply involved in production. In my most recent role as VP of Video Programming and Production at The Integer Group, I built a remote-focused production team, collaborated closely with the creative team on content development, and coordinated both internal and external production resources. This initiative contributed to an additional $1M in annual revenue and resulted in award-winning content for AT&T.
I have developed content and advertising campaigns for a diverse range of clients, including HBO, Prime Video, CBS, FOX, Children’s Hospital LA, American Jewish University, and AT&T. Most recently, I completed a series of passion projects focused on my love for wine. I’ve won top honors for three consecutive years at the Wine Spectator Video Competition (2022, 2023, and 2024), and with my three wins, I became the first inductee into the Wine Spectator Video Competition Hall of Fame. My videos CABERNET TONIGHT, LOVE THE WINE YOU'RE WITH, and I JUST WANT A ZINFANDEL have already become fan favorites and are sure to resonate with wine enthusiasts worldwide!
