Jae S. Jung was born in Seoul, where he studied acting, photography, and modern dance. After co-founding a dance company and working as a commercial film actor, he transitioned into advertising, inspired by early exposure to creative direction and choreography.

He moved to New York to study at the School of Visual Arts and later joined Forsman & Bodenfors (formerly KBS+), where he helped win the $160 million BMW account and spent eight years leading global campaigns. He continued at Publicis New York, leading Citi campaigns and building cohesive brand ecosystems across markets.

Currently, Jae is an Associate Creative Director at Tag Worldwide (Dentsu Group), where he leads global creative for Audible, managing a 50+ member team. His work focuses on evolving design systems that scale across markets, while leveraging AI generative tools to accelerate concept development and production.

Outside of work, Jae completed a specialized MBA for creatives and creates looping music with cassette tapes, often drawing inspiration from analog processes to inform digital work.
