Jeb Brown

Jeb Brown has been in the advertising agency business for over 40 years. After graduating from Harvard Business School, he joined the Leo Burnett agency in Chicago working on the P&G business.  In 1975 Jeb left Burnett to join his father’s 15-person PR firm in Washington, DC. He bought the PR firm from his Dad and became President of Earle Palmer Brown (EPB) at the age of 27.

Over the next 25 years, Jeb grew EPB into one of the first Integrated Marketing Communications agencies in the US.  By 2000, EPB had 13 offices from England to California and 1,000 employees. At the time it was the largest privately held US advertising agency. EPB was sold in 2001 to a private equity firm. EPB was a member of the International Federation of Advertising Agencies (IFAA), a predecessor to ICOM.

For the next dozen years Jeb joined business and community boards, did home building and real estate development, and built the Broadband Consulting Group, a government contracting firm.

In 2012 Jeb joined the MBA faculty as an Adjunct Professor at the RH Smith School of Business of the University of Maryland. That led him into consulting with several Washington-area agencies on executive management, mergers and acquisition, and business development.

One of those firms was PCI Communications. Jeb joined PCI full-time in 2017. Since he joined he has helped grow the agency from 24 people to its current 185. PCI was renamed Yes&, and Jeb is currently Chairman responsible for business management, finances, and M&A activity.

Jeb and his wife Kate live in Tucson, AZ. Together they have five children, five grandchildren, three dogs, and one cat.
