Jeffery began his career in media in 1984 rising to work on hundreds of commercials and television episodes, thousands of newscasts, and most major international sports championships by 1993. That same year he began his first work with online/ interactive new media. Since this time he has remained on the leading edge, building several related companies along the way. Jeffery has routinely been involved in major, cutting-edge projects. For example, in 1995-1996 he directed a project to revolutionize the way broadcast commercials were made, distributed, scheduled, and tracked for InterPublic Group. This project pioneered technologies such as video servers/LANs, digital asset management, and much more.
