Hey there, I'm Jeff Graham, President & CMO of Cactus an independent full-serve agency in Denver, CO. Prior to Cactus I was SVP, Managing Director of Barkley's Colorado office, and Co-Founder/Managing Director of Boulder-based creative boutique called Grenadier. For 30 years, I've worked in creatively-driven agencies like CP+B, Arnold Worldwide, TBWA/Chiat/Day and Core. I love the craft of advertising, and doing whatever it takes as an account leader to create the conditions where great creative ideas can thrive. I'm a disciple of Creative Account Leadership, something I've endeavored to practice, as well as teach, throughout my career in advertising. Now more than ever, I believe brand creativity, authenticity and innovation are among the most disruptive weapons in business today. This site contains some of the campaigns I’ve been lucky enough to work on over the years. I didn't write them, I didn't art direct them. I did help make them happen. And I'm proud of that, and the role every account person plays in making great ideas real, and defending creativity's contribution to brand and business growth.
