Why We’re Different

Challenger Mindset

A challenger mindset means being nimble, strategic, tactical, and seeking exponential growth by looking for opportunities that category leaders ignore. It is thinking about business in a different way and finding new, effective solutions to old problems.

We operate with a challenger mindset and look for partners and collaborators that do the same.

Media Budget Multiplier

With strong media business relationships and extensive direct-to-consumer experience, Jekyll + Hyde can turn even modest media budgets into targeted, highly effective ad campaigns. These campaigns typically provide 3 to 5 times more media value.

CPG Specialists with Knowledge + Industry Connections

If you need business solutions beyond advertising, we can connect you with the right people.

We’ll activate our indispensable partnerships with retail brokers, retail buyers, celebrities, FDA and FTC lawyers and more can be activated to provide information and answers.

Neuroscience-Based Creative

Our unique approach blends creative thinking with consumer data and neuroscientific practices that include neuro-linguistic programming, hypnotherapy, and Human-Givens theory.

As a result, we produce advertising that effectively triggers the audience to go out and buy your products.

If your goal is measurable growth, our messaging is key to moving the needle for your business.

More About Our Approach

Leadership

Mark Young

CEO/Visionary

The doctor behind Jekyll + Hyde.

Dr. Mark Young is the founder and CEO of Jekyll + Hyde Labs. He leveraged his passion for neuroscience, persuasion, and hypnosis to build Jekyll + Hyde Labs into one of the nation’s most successful advertising agencies for challenger and emerging brand consumer products.

Dr. Mark Young is one of those rare individuals with an insatiable thirst for knowledge. He studies trends in technology, human behavior, geopolitics, economics and future studies. His unusual style of processing information and problem solving was formed early on, based on his own combination of epistemology and multidisciplinary thinking.

When other kids looked up to superheroes or performers, Mark was studying everything he could about Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, and Blaise Pascal. Mark has lived by the words of these men, especially Pascal, who said, it is impossible to know everything about everything, so it is incumbent on us to know something about everything.

Mark is a serial entrepreneur with interests in advertising, real estate, life extension and media. He also co-hosts multiple podcasts and is currently working towards his professional race car driver’s license.
