Jeremy Simon
Planning Director
TBWA\Chiat\Day

Jeremy spent the first two years of his advertising career making cups of tea and coffee for TV Production at JWT London. After being spotted by the strategy department, he was given the chance to prove himself in the JWT Knowledge Centre, creating market briefs and strategic overviews for account teams.

In 2002 Jeremy joined the Planning department at St Luke's Communications, London. At this maverick agency, he helped plan the UK's biggest ever product launch: BT Broadband. With this solid grounding in disruptive communication, Jeremy moved to TBWA\London in early 2004. Here he worked on brands that were either edible, or sounded like they should be: Skittles and Starburst, McCain frozen food, and Apple.

In April 2006, Jeremy left London for TBWA\Chiat\Day Los Angeles, to work on Visa. In April 2009, he joined the Pepsi team, leading strategic development for the Pepsi Refresh Project.
