Jake Brusha (class 2012)

Jake Brusha is an Associate Producer at the advertisement agency Leo Burnett Chicago, one of the biggest agencies in the world, where he fills a variety of roles both in front and behind the camera.

Jake has found a niche at Leo Burnett in directing, DPing (serving as the director of photograph) and creating quality content for low budget campaigns and clients.

From fashion photography, documentary style spots, behind the scenes shoots, to PSAs, and tons in between, Jake considers Leo Burnett to be the best “graduate school education” he could have asked for. “It’s self directed, travel is included and I get paid to go; Leo is my NYU film school education.”

Some of his work helped the agency win several awards including: D&AD White Pencil Award, One Show Design’s Gold Pencil, and Bronze Lion from Cannes’ Advertisement Festival.
