Hi, I'm Stephon Jacob, founder of Know Us, a marketing and advertising agency. My journey began on the football field at the University of Richmond, where I learned that success isn't about talent alone—it's about preparation, execution, and relentless drive.
That same competitive spirit led me to the VCU Brandcenter, one of the nation's top advertising graduate programs. There, I honed my craft in brand strategy, creative problem-solving, and data-driven marketing—transforming passion into expertise.
Over 8+ years, I've partnered with industry giants and emerging brands across diverse sectors: Nike Women's Basketball, Cedars-Sinai, VISA, Washington Commanders, Verizon, Papa John's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Santander Bank, Royal Caribbean, Virginia Tourism ("Virginia is for Lovers"), plus real estate firms, auto care brands, law practices, and construction companies.

The Philosophy
Brands spend billions just to be ignored. Most agencies are corporate factories that prioritize their own billable hours over their clients' growth. We are the alternative. We combine the strategic rigor of the world’s biggest brands with the agility of a consultancy. We don't just build awareness; we build fanbases. We don't just run campaigns; we engineer sales. If you have the vision, we have the strategy to make it legendary
We believe that high-caliber strategy and creative shouldn’t be locked behind a "Big Agency" gate. We bring C-suite, VCU Brandcenter-level thinking to any business owner ready for their "highest sales day in history."
We cut the overhead and the ego. We are "D1 players" in the marketing space—performance-driven, insight-led, and obsessively focused on the bottom line rather than the "agency culture" trophy.
