Driven, fearless, and dynamic – are just a few of the attributes that embody the vision and passion of Delano Massey. As Chief Executive Officer of Atlanta-based JacobsEye Marketing Agency, one of the fastest-growing top 10 government marketing agencies in the U.S. with offices in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles, Delano has become an unparalleled force as a global brand marketer and influencer.
Under his leadership, JacobsEye maintains a fundamental focus on marketing that matters. Since 2011, the agency has generated tens of millions of dollars of exposure for a celebrated client list that includes the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Air National Guard, the Coca-Cola Company, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Home Depot, CNN, the Atlanta Falcons, and the Atlanta Hawks. For more than 20 years, Delano has produced award-winning marketing campaigns and events for some of the most venerated brands – enhancing visibility and brand equity for all of his clients.
A retired United States Army JAG Corps warrior, Delano has harnessed his military service to develop socially conscious initiatives dedicated to community development. Committed to promoting the importance of agriculture and sustainable foods in communities across the state of Georgia, Massey is the founder of The Fresh District and The Georgia Seafood Festival. The Fresh District is a movement which promotes fresh, local and sustainable food systems in urban environments and aims to inspire and cultivate the next generation of agricultural industry leaders.
Launched in 2019, The Georgia Seafood Festival is an annual event that celebrates Georgia’s burgeoning commercial seafood industry and raises awareness of the social and economic impact of the seafood industry in the State of Georgia. More than 15,000 attendees from across the metropolitan Atlanta region and state attended the inaugural event and were provided with an educational and culinary experience centered on Georgia’s coastal seafood scene.
Delano is also the creator and founder of Feed Me Fashion, an event that brings Georgia’s fiber tech industry together with Georgia student fashion designers for a discussion and fashion show aimed at increasing awareness on sustainable fashion.
Delano’s leadership and expertise has been widely recognized and celebrated. He has been named the 2020 National Contract Management Association (NCMA) Small Business Person of the Year, honored with the 2020 “Give Back” Award by Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) Atlanta, and 2018 Best Veteran Entrepreneur Finalist by the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
