Meet Jordan Pollak | Managing Director & Partner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jordan Pollak and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jordan, how do you think about risk?
Risk is the gateway to continued growth and success. It is also the fear keeping you from getting to your next goal or stepping stone in life. When the motivation is needed I suggest putting on your favorite songs with your head down just like one of my favorite hip-hop groups West Side Connection “What don’t hurt you will only make you stronger, in this game, you gotta have heart”

If it was not for risk – I wouldn’t be where I am today both personally and professionally. Risk taking is taking a leap of faith without truly understanding the outcome in advance of the journey beginning.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Embracing change and continually pushing myself and those around me to evolve/grow and not become complacent.  2021 has been one of the agency’s most impressive years and we are incredibly proud of the best in class programs (to name a few but not limited to the below:)

• Instant Brands x RHUDE
• Modelo Fighting Spirit Collections x 424, Kidsuper, CENTRE,  RSVP Gallery, UNKNWN
• Corona Hard Seltzer x FaZe Clan
• Corona Electric Beach Festival Stage (EDC Las Vegas, Hard Summer, EDC Orlando, Spring Awakening, Breakaway Music Festival)
• Corona x LA Rams x Viva LA Bonita
• Victoria x Dan Life x Rey Mysterio x WWE
• Pacifico x OBEY x Surfrider Foundation
• Pacifico x Tony Hawk
• National Geographic x Genius Aretha x Live Nation
• Lovesac x Deadmau5

Nothing good comes easy, take every day as a new year, instead of every week or every month – especially in a COVID world as timelines are way more fluid and changing by the millisecond.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
• Week Day Dinner: Giorgio Baldi (ask for Marco) • Week Day Lunch: Joans’ on Third
• Weekend Trip: Rosewood Miramar (Montecito, CA)

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Would like to provide a HUGE shoutout to my late grandfather Len “Poppy” Pollak, as he has been an incredibly important person and inspiration throughout my entire life. Would also like to give a big shoutout to the greater Cogent World family/team as my individual success would not be possible without the greater team
