Jake Creative is a creative storytelling and copywriting venture started by Amy Sacka. Amy’s copywriting career spans from agency positions in Seattle and Detroit to international sponsorship at BBDO in Sydney, Australia. She has written client-side for leading brands like Salesforce, Adidas, Starbucks, Microsoft, Target and many more.
Amy’s career also straddles the field of photojournalism. In just eight years, she went from being a hobbyist photographer to photographing a 22-page spread in National Geographic magazine (September 2020). Her photos have been exhibited and published in outlets from The Washington Post to The Guardian, National Geographic Traveller, and the Detroit Free Press. Her journey from amateur to National Geographic storyteller is one of grit, perseverance, and remarkable imagination that weaves together both her writing and visual talents.
