Our History

JDA Chairman and CEO Brad Benbow co-founded Rutter Communications, a national advertising sales firm, in 1987. Rutter was an early pioneer for emerging television networks including ESPN, CNN, Nickelodeon and MTV. After the sale of Rutter Communications to Comcast in the early 2000’s, Benbow co-founded JDA Worldwide in 2003 to provide full-service representation to clients in need of exponential growth and national brand presence. Since the turn of the century, JDA has represented countless full-service brands in a variety of sectors and industries.

What We Do

Our position in the marketplace is centered on clients in need of growth. Real growth. Whether it’s more customers, top line revenue, ticket sales, brand awareness and exposure, leads or better shelf-space, JDA uses client growth as the measuring stick at the onset of any partnership or project. Our clients are doing amazing things and we love helping them win. We work selflessly to help them accomplish their wildest dreams.
