Chris Jaros
Director of Production
Creative in the ways that matter: quality, budget, timing.
Gear nerd—always acquiring that new camera or that special lighting setup.
Alarming compulsion to over-deliver.
Magician in his past life.
Chris Jaros is SMBLZ’s secret weapon: the ad producer who can make anything happen. (He’ll get angry at us for claiming this, but hey.)
Producing national ad campaigns for top brands, Chris brings a fresh, innovative approach to each production—finding ways to deliver high-quality, beautifully crafted ads on budget and on time.
In additional to leading national TV campaigns for top brands like eHarmony, Angie’s List, Wingstop, Guthy-Renker, and VIZIO Televisions, Chris has strategized and overseen the creation of digital and video content for the CBS Network and other companies such as PwC, CISCO, Colgate, and True Car—to name just a few.
For the past 20 years, Chris has helped countless brands tell their stories to their audiences with distinctive commercials—ones that cut through the noise and give maximum bang for the buck. And he takes a big-picture approach, going beyond the actual commercial to plan and execute an engaging, targeted campaign around it—one harnessing traditional, digital, and social media.
A former accountant who ran his own CPA firm in New York, Chris developed a passion for producing commercials the second he set foot in L.A. From there, he built a full-service production company and content creation studio, Zoo Crew Productions—a one-stop shop with filming, editing, visual effects, and design all done in-house. And from there he joined the SMBLZ team..
