Meet Jon Savitt
Who you’ll be working with
Our Founder
Jon Savitt is a Minneapolis-based brand strategist, messaging consultant, writer, and founder of Campfire Creative.
For more than 15 years, Jon has helped startups, founders, leadership teams, and growth-stage companies sharpen their positioning, clarify their story, and build brand language people actually remember. His work has helped clients collectively raise more than $125M by strengthening the strategy, story, and content behind their businesses.
Before launching Campfire, Jon served as Creative Director at PUNCH, a full-service, award-winning agency in Washington, DC, where he led brand and creative strategy for a roster of national clients.
His client and project experience includes a deep mix of B2B and consumer companies, such as Dollar Shave Club, Hinge, DIRECTV, the Minnesota Timberwolves, SAP, Kimpton Hotels, Goldman Sachs, Inc. 500 companies, and Fortune 50 executives. His work has appeared in The New York Times, ESPN, NBC News, TIME, Funny or Die, AdWeek, The Washington Post, Morning Brew, USA Today, Forbes, and more. He’s also a Gold ADDY winner.
With a background in comedy, advertising, film, and speechwriting, Jon has written for entertainers, athletes, politicians, executives, production studios, and major media platforms. That unique crossover shapes the way he builds brands. Entertainment teaches you how to earn real attention. Advertising teaches you how to anchor that attention in business outcomes. Today, you need both to truly compete.
At Campfire, Jon works directly with clients during pivotal moments like launches, rebrands, repositioning, fundraising, and growth inflection points to build the strategic foundation and language everything else can stand on.
When Jon isn’t helping brands speak up and stand out, you can usually find him playing guitar, playing tennis, trying a new bourbon, or spending time outdoors.
