Your partner at the intersection of research, advocacy, and public policy.

Adam Jacobson is a strategy and communications expert who has worked at the intersection of research, advocacy, and public policy since 2009. As principal of Talk Shop LA, he helps organizations, institutions, and thought leaders engage and grow their audiences, define their missions and brands, and translate complicated ideas for the people who need to hear them.

He has created and led winning campaigns and managed substantive programs for social justice causes and higher education initiatives across California and beyond.

Increasingly, his practice centers on archives and research infrastructure — including AI-enabled workflows that help institutions surface what their collections hold and connect academic work with community discourse.
