A Jamaican born, award-winning creative director, Jason Campbell is the Chief Creative Officer at Translation. Campbell originally aspired to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and become an artist, but emerged from the School of Visual Arts in New York with a BFA in advertising and a passion for the craft. After getting the bug at college, he entered the industry and worked with many big names before taking on his current role of Head of Creative at Translation in the summer of 2020.
Throughout his storied career, he has worked with the likes of Nike, the NBA, Verizon, Impossible Foods, Airbnb and perhaps most famously Beats by Dre, for whom he made the Cannes Lion Titanium-winning “You Love Me.” The film–which addresses the disparity between the love of Black culture and the treatment of Black people–featured stars including Naomi Osaka, Lil Baby, and Janaya Future Khan.
A master in going viral, Campbell understands how to distill a brand's story to its true essence and combine that with the cultural climate to build a moment an audience can't miss. This is his true art.
