Jason’s entrepreneurial passion centers on harnessing the power of consumer-minded branding, design and storytelling for brands and business models that are doing not just “less bad” but also “more good.” In 2013, Jason launched Accompany (AccompanyUs.com) -- the first fashion-forward online marketplace with a humanitarian focus -- with a mission to support indigenous artisans, fair trade workshops and non-profits in over 50 countries around the world. This led to a highly publicized design collaboration with Target in 2017. In 2020, Jason launched Accompany Creative (a mission-driven creative agency) working with clients like Nespresso, Michael Kors, Levi's and the YMCA; and Accompany Made (a mission-driven licensing business) to unlock the power of consumer brands and IP towards a positive social impact in the world, launching the first-ever mission-driven merchandising collection with Universal Pictures for Jurassic World. Jason comes with a 15+ year background in brand strategy, identity, and integrated advertising as Chief Growth Officer at independent creative agency Yard NYC, where he partnered with socially conscious clients like amfAR, L. brand (P&G), method, Shea Moisture, Stonyfield Organic Yogurt, Timberland; and design/aspiration-led clients like Restoration Hardware, Converse x John Varvatos, La Mer and Virgin Voyages.
