Pinckert is an award-winning executive leader, and an American director of commercials and branded content. In his creative work, he brings the type of genre-busting versatility brands crave. His signature style is known for storytelling & performances - both from actors and real people. He always brings a core feeling of positivity to projects, some even delivered with a wink, and aims towards conveying an elevated sense of human emotion. He is known for his collaborative creativity and for encouraging friendly, relaxed environments, while still maintaining efficiency in his results-focused work.
Upon graduating with a major in communications and a minor in cultural anthropology from Ball State University’s acclaimed TCOM program, he cut his teeth directing Discovery Channel, History Channel, and ESPN Original Entertainment documentary and entertainment programming, winning an Emmy Award in the process. With the strategic plan to utilize those storytelling chops in shorter form mediums in the advertising world, he founded Explore Media. Since then, Pinckert has executive produced hundreds of commercials and branded content pieces, building and leading the creative teams that garnered numerous awards, and curating a nationwide network of production professionals he uses in his fractional work for brands.
Jeremy, his wife and three children call the greater Chicago area home, where he enjoys traveling, playing golf poorly, failing at pickleball, streaming anything compelling, and getting outdoors with his family.
