In addition to his Marketing studies at LMU and his experiences with the M-School Program, Jackson worked in two summer marketing roles. Both experiences drew upon his skills as an actor. Being able to delve into a character's psyche is closely related to understanding and connecting with a target audience.
Jackson currently works for LMU's College of Business Association (CBA) as a marketing ambassador, and works together with the team to create Instagram and LinkedIn posts for both the main page @lmucba and the grad program @lmugradbusiness. See some of his work on his portfolio page.
