    About Jeff: I knew I wanted to run an ad agency when I was in college. I spent nearly 10 years building the capital and skills at CBS TV, as a media buyer/planner, and some real estate investing to launch Ethic Advertising Agency in 2014. I authored a short e-book on the 9 Reasons Why Advertising Doesn't Work and I'm big on culture and core values in the advertising agency space having given talks around the subject at Ad Week and for the Media Association of Pittsburgh. I'm married with two children and a dog!
