who we are

PRESIDENT & FOUNDER

Spencer Sharp has spent more than 20 years at the highest levels of arts media, serving as publisher and in other senior management roles at several internationally recognized arts publications. That career gave him an insider's understanding of how this world thinks, communicates, and makes decisions.

In July 2018, he founded 718 Media to address what he saw as a growing problem: meaningful changes in the media landscape were quietly eroding advertising opportunities for arts clients, and no one was building solutions with their needs at the center. 718 Media was his answer to that.

Tom is an accomplished designer with 20 years experience as executive creative director at a New York-based advertising and strategy firm. He had the privilege to work with 100+ top world visual and performing arts organizations on identity systems, advertising and brand awareness campaigns, and spatial design projects.

I love making designs for a wide range of clients, especially arts and cultural organizations. My background as Art Director and Creative Director at boutique NYC ad agencies (Eliran Murphy Group, 1997–2007; Wit Media, 2010–20017) has given me extensive experience in branding, print and digital campaigns, environmental graphics, editorial design, retail packaging, website design, and more.

Jason is a seasoned Sales and Digital Advertising/Marketing Executive with a blend of strategic thinking, entrepreneurial drive, and deep industry expertise. He thrives on forming trusted partnerships and delivering tangible results. His work across a range of 718 Media clients has truly been the differentiator for so many of our recent campaign successes. 

Asia manages social media content, newsletters, and digital campaigns for a variety of clients, ensuring that brand voice and engagement goals are met. A recent graduate of Colorado State University, Asia has quickly established herself as an integral piece of our campaign executions and post-campaign reporting.
