The story behind the voice
Jason (Brod for short) is a Creative Director with over 20 years of experience building sustainable growth for brands by turning customers into fans. He has built a reputation for orchestrating creative at scale, developing brand campaigns across paid, owned, and earned channels.
These days, Brod is Creative Director at Turtlebox, a Houston-born outdoor audio brand making speakers engineered to take whatever life throws at them. He’s helping shape the next chapter of the fast-growing, founder-led brand by building its brand, creative, and content organization, evolving the brand platform, and making Turtlebox feel less like a speaker you own and more like a part of the life you live outside.
Before Turtlebox, Brod spent over a decade as head of creative at Academy Sports + Outdoors, the second largest sporting goods chain in the US. He created Academy’s first positioning, platform, identity, and brand book, helping lead the retail store brand to the national retail stage. He also partnered with brands including Nike, Adidas, Whataburger, Shiner Beers, and Brooks Running on co-branded campaigns and activations.
Before Academy, Brod was fortunate enough to work for himself, freelancing for brand design agencies, shooting stills, designing websites, and editing at post-production studios. He earned his BFA in Digital Media & Photography from the University of Houston, where he was also the first student to break his toe making art.
In his free time, he loves to run trails, bike trails, cook outside, read inside, and love on his 4 kids and Australian Shepherd with his stunning, patient, and unfiltered wife, Lauren.
