Restructuring agency leadership to lead in an AI-enabled future, delivering next-generation client experiences and reimagined events on the world’s biggest stages.

CHICAGO – March 26^th, 2026 – August Jackson is proud to announce a new C-suite leadership structure designed to fuel the agency’s next phase of growth. The changes streamline operations, strengthen client service, and bring together design and creative capabilities under a unified vision. The result is a nimble, independent team built to move fast without sacrificing the quality and care August Jackson is known for.

“This structure gives AJ something every growing agency needs: the ability to move fast without losing the personal touch our clients have come to expect. By empowering leaders who are already embedded in their areas of expertise, we’ve equipped ourselves to be more responsive, more creative, and more present for the clients we serve,” said  said Jacque Patterson, CEO of August Jackson. 

Lindsay Grinstead has been promoted to Chief Client Officer, where she will lead the agency’s growth strategy and client service functions — ensuring that as August Jackson scales, client relationships remain at the center of everything the agency does.

Mike Sinsheimer has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer, bringing operational focus and discipline to the agency’s production capabilities as project complexity and volume continue to grow. 

Annie Ishola, promoted to Chief Creative Officer, will oversee a newly integrated design and creative department — a structural change that reflects August Jackson’s belief that great events and communications are born from a single, cohesive creative perspective.

“We’ve built something special at August Jackson, and this leadership team is a reflection of that. Lindsay, Mike, and Annie each bring an extraordinary combination of talent and commitment to our clients and our craft,” said Jacque, “I couldn’t be more energized about where we’re headed — and I know our best work is still ahead of us.”
