Meet Jake

He Gets the Business, the Buyer, and the Brand

Before launching Wise Bear, Jake spent 16 years in CPG sales—growing craft beverage brands across national markets with clear strategy and consistent storytelling.

He didn’t come from ad school.
He came from the real world—where what works matters more than what wins awards.

He built and ran his own lifestyle brand.
He led sales and marketing execution for national beverage companies.
He’s been on the front lines of business—and he knows what it’s like to build something that matters.

That’s what shaped Wise Bear.

Jake understands that the best work comes from:

Together, we're reshaping the digital landscape.

And at the heart of it all?

He’s a dad of two boys who’d rather be off-grid in his ‘91 Toyota camper van, chasing sunsets, campfires, and ideas that haven’t been done yet.

Wise Bear was built around those values.

It’s not just a service—it’s a team of specialists working together to help brands grow with clarity and confidence.

Our Process

Consult. Create. Captivate

Digital marketing has a lot of moving parts—strategy, content, design, SEO, paid media—and most businesses don’t know where to start, or how it all fits together.

That’s where Wise Bear comes in.

We help you cut through the noise, focus your energy, and build a system that works.

Consult

We start with clarity. Who are you? What are you building? What do your customers actually need to hear? We’ll take stock of what you’ve got, figure out what’s holding you back, and show you where to focus to actually move the needle.

01

Create

Then our team gets to work—designers design, writers write, and SEO experts optimize. We build the foundation: your message, your visuals, your structure. All in sync.

02

Captivate

Once your brand is built, we launch with purpose. Paid media, organic search, social—all pointing in the same direction. Because momentum doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from doing the right things, at the right time, with the right team.

03

We had the pleasure of working with Jake and Jeff on our brand strategy for our vineyard and winery, Thistlevale Vineyard & Winery, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They completely understood our values, mission, and the vibe we were going for—right from the start. They were super responsive, extremely personable, and handled our feedback with so much grace and skill. The execution was excellent, and we absolutely love what they came up with. If you’re looking for a team that gets it and delivers, these are your people. Highly recommend!
