Jack Roberts: 20 Outstanding Los Angeles Designers, 1986

Weird... thats my name, and he went to the same college I want to go to....

Our LA Junior Advertising Club's award-winning campaign for Studio Watts touched Jack's heart. He offered to recommend me for a job with Ogilvy & Mather in London. No, I told him, I'd only work in C/R's glass box under his personal tutelage -- or I'd go to grad school! (Such a threat.) But C/R was now O&M. So I got my PhD. I often wonder, what if....?

Jack was my role model for the big-agency creative director I never became.

I am Professor Boston at Calif. State Univ. Long

Beach. I interviewed your Grandfather in 1986 while I was on sabbatical. I also worked for Jack at C/R in the sixties.

I knew Jack in the 70's when I had my own agency. Jacobs & Gerber, Inc., and have a great memory. It was Jacks's birthday, and I a 6 ft. palm tree delivered in a tin can, with the name Mr. Roberts stenciled on the side in big white letters. He was the partner in Carson Roberts at the time, and was disappointed that on one in the agency thought of it. Loved this talented and great guy. Great agency, with great people. My dad, Harry, also knew him pretty well, being a lettering artist at the time.
