Jeff Adkins is the managing director of Energy BBDO, where he oversees client services and business development. Since joining Energy 17 years ago, Jeff has been integral in future-proofing the agency, broadening capabilities and solidifying Energy’s reputation as a global, integrated, leading-edge creative organization.
Jeff and a dedicated team of client service directors work together to drive innovative, business-building work that inspires meaningful consumer relationships across all of the agency’s clients. His leadership of the Mars Wrigley team in particular has led to numerous brand-building campaigns, including the wildly successful, Sustained Success Effie-winning “Give Extra, Get Extra” platform that helped reposition Extra’s brand messaging from a focus on rational to emotional appeal.
