Jayanta Jenkins:

Global Creative Leader

I’m a globally recognized creative leader and brand builder who believes in the power of storytelling to connect people and drive meaningful results. I work where culture, design, strategy, and emerging technology meet, helping brands show up with clarity, purpose, and emotion. I believe creativity should celebrate humanity and deliver real impact, not just inspiration.

I’ve led work for Disney, Apple, Twitter, Samsung, and Starbucks, and helped shape culture-shifting campaigns at agencies like Wieden+Kennedy and TBWA\Chiat\Day. My experience spans brand design, integrated storytelling, customer experience, and systems thinking. I guide teams to create work that moves people and moves the business.

At Starbucks, I helped transform the Creative Studio into stewards of the brand’s global expression. I led work across brand, digital, retail, and packaging, evolving operations and launching seasonal platforms that deepened customer connection.

At Disney, I brought together the marketing teams for National Geographic and Disney Branded Television to create a unified approach to content strategy. I oversaw integrated campaigns and partnerships that expanded Disney Plus audiences and refreshed the Disney Channel brand for a new generation.

At Twitter, I launched the company’s first major global brand campaign across consumer and B2B audiences, turning a product feature into a cultural moment that sparked conversation and increased engagement.

I take a systems-level approach to creative leadership, connecting brand, product, and marketing with an AI-forward mindset to unlock clarity, scale, and meaningful innovation. I focus on building strong in-house teams, elevating operations, refreshing brand playbooks, and shaping collaborative cultures that support breakout ideas. I’ve been recognized on Adweek’s Creative 100 and awarded a Cannes Lions Grand Prix, but what matters most is helping teams do the best work of their lives.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling the world with my son and staying creative through photography and DJing. It keeps me curious and reminds me why storytelling matters.
