Jackson has produced award-winning television, radio, digital/online media for clients of all levels. When he produced the “Draft Wesley Clark for President” ad campaign it was the first time any television commercial had been produced to draft a candidate for United States President.  During a two-week stint on the road with the Clark campaign, he also became the first media consultant to shoot, edit and upload daily video to the campaign’s website in near real-time.

​

“I had purchased two specially configured laptop video editors, before such a thing existed.  They must have weighed twenty pounds each, were incredibly slow to edit and upload video, but it was fun because nobody had done it.”
