Icon —Jeff Benjamin

Jeff Benjamin is Global Chief Creative Officer at Tombras, the independent, Knoxville, TN-based agency that has become one of the industry’s most unexpected creative forces. Over the past five years, he’s helped drive Tombras’ emergence through bold, culture-shaping ideas like BARKAir, the world’s first airline for dogs, and Sweethearts “Situationships,” a reinvention of the classic candy — earning back-to-back honors from AdAge: 2024 Independent Agency of the Year and 2025 Agency of the Year.

Earlier, Jeff helped build Crispin Porter + Bogusky into a global icon, creating some of the most successful marketing campaigns of all time.

His work has been recognized with Grand Prix and Titanium Lions at Cannes, Best of Shows at One Show, Grand Effies, Grand Clios, and ANDYs.
