Jeffrey Hyman

Jeffrey Hyman makes pixels do things. Forbidden things. Things pixels should never do.

CHAPTER 1:

In 2000 Jeffrey founded the interactive advertising agency COG1.

Ten years later he garnered: 4 shelves worth of awards, a client list that would make any agency proud, and led the company to 40 consecutive quarters of profitability.

Technology, design, storytelling, film, print, and animation are the crafts Jeffrey used to create entertaining and engaging advertising campaigns.

Clients included: CBS, MTV, and HBO. Jeffrey even had the chance to work with a few companies that had names longer than 3 letters.

The good news is apparently Jeffrey doesn’t suck. Here’s a few of the places he’s received awards and honors:

2 CLIOs, The One Show, 2 Cannes Cyber Lions, 8 National ADDYs, 1 Best of Division ADDY, Adweek Magazines Icon Award, Adweek & Brandweek Magazines MIXX Award NYC Advertising Festival, 2 AD:Tech Awards

CHAPTER 2:

In 2007, Jeffrey wrote and sold a show to MTV. The TV show was optioned by Renegade 83 and produced for MTV. Credits were: Creator & Executive Producer.

CHAPTER 3:

In November of 2009, Jeffrey was offered the opportunity to co-found a new venture backed company alongside Silicon Valley legend Rick Thompson.

Jeffrey heard opportunity knocking and thought after 11 years, and 40 consecutive quarters of growth & profitability … this was as good of time as any to sell his advertising agency.

After an extremely relaxing 72 hour vacation, during which his wife gave birth to hisr 2nd child, Jeffrey began focusing on getting “Idle Games” off the ground and into the stratosphere.

Entrepreneurs sure are a funny bunch aren’t they?
