About Jacob

Hi! I’m Jacob Slack, a Creative and Design Director with experience leading design studios and creative teams across a wide range of projects. My work covers brand design, 360-degree marketing campaigns, motion graphics, 3D and animation, set and stage design, AR/VR, UX, web design and out-of-home advertising. I bring extensive knowledge in brand, streaming and digital strategy, commercial, film and TV production, and virtual studio production. I’m passionate about storytelling and crafting creative work that’s impactful, memorable, and drives commercial success.

My work has been broadcast and streamed worldwide, including on TVNZ, Three & WBD, Sky in New Zealand; Foxtel, 7, 9, and 10 in Australia; ESPN, Fox Sports, and MTV2 in the US; and ITV and BBC in the UK. I’ve worked extensively in streaming, live and interactive broadcasting, along with large-screen design for the NBA, NBL, NHL, and IndyCar racing.

I’m currently the Design Director at Warner Bros. Discovery for Australia and New Zealand, leading design across channels, news, integration, and promos. Before this, I was TVNZ’s Design Director, managing a team across promos, OOH, news and commercial agency work. Before that, I was Head of Design at Eyeworks NZ (now Warner Bros. NZ), working on reality shows, dramas, and feature films.

I started my journey in communications and digital design, co-founding Sniper Systems, a digital agency that produced online activations and websites. Over the years, my work has been recognised with awards like the Best Design Awards, Qantas/NZTV Awards, Canon Awards, NZ Marketing Awards, Axis Awards, Best on the Box Awards, and Promax Awards.

I’m passionate about creating impactful, high-quality work and always up for the next challenge.
