Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar

It is a privilege to welcome producer, talent manager, and international speaker Brad R. Lambert to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

Following his graduation from North Carolina State University, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native returned home to follow his passion for his hometown team, the Pittsburgh Steelers and worked in the sports industry for nearly a decade. He worked with some of his favorite athletes, such as Hines Ward and Willie Parker. Brad also worked with world-renowned brands, including Barnes & Noble, Hachette Filipacchi Media, Hershey, and Lagardere Unlimited.

Brad R. Lambert moved to Los Angeles and dove into another passion: film and entertainment. He worked with Robert Downey, Jr. for a year and then went to Warner Bros. Pictures and managed their digital marketing campaigns for two years. He helped the film studio win three CLIO Awards for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, KONG: SKULL ISLAND, and The LEGO Batman Movie.

In 2019, Brad worked on the marketing campaigns for two of the biggest movies of all time: Avengers: Endgame (with Walt Disney Studios and Marvel Studios) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment). Earlier this year, The Wrap reporter Umberto Gonzalez wrote an unflattering article on the talent manager where two of his high-profile clients falsely accused Brad of “leeching off them.”

In this exclusive podcast interview, Brad R. Lambert spoke about his career highlights and how he plans to rebound after the malicious article’s publication.

That same year, Harrison made his debut live performance at Las Vegas Pride Festival. In addition to his recording career, he also dances as part of America's Got Talent: Las Vegas LIVE ensemble at the Luxor Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.
