- 30-SECONDS…..I’m Nathan Young. I’m a creative strategist working in digital.Currently I contract for a large entertainment client, but I’d like to find a permanent position at an agency where I can learn and grow my skill set. I think that my project management skills and innovative approach to digital strategies would be a benefit to the right company.Recently, I brokered a streaming deal with JazzFest to launch my clients new content platform. The stream not only increased awareness of the brand, it added on thousands to our social media platforms and launched our mobile app to the top of iTunes download charts for the day.
