About

Hi there! My name is Jarrett Hothan and I’m a copywriter living in Chicago, IL. I’m also one-half of the city’s 143rd best garage rock duo The Trolls.

I’m an Associate Creative Director at Demo Duck, a video production company in Chicago that specializes in animation. I started working here in 2017 as a writer, and my life as a Duck has been full of excitement, fun challenges, creative solves and great collaborations. I lead brainstorms, develop and pitch concepts, write scripts and oversee projects through the production process. From overview videos to educational content, we can pretty much do it all. If your company needs a video, please reach out!

I graduated from the University of Iowa (Go Hawks!) and started my career in the PR department of Cramer-Krasselt. I also played bass in C-K’s house band The Angry Pickles, who won the annual “Battle for Hope” fundraiser two years in a row.

Playing in a band has also created a unique opportunity to practice my design skills. I’m always designing flyers or animating videos to promote our shows. You can check out some of my work under the ‘design’ tab.

I’m down to take on some freelance writing projects from time to time. Just shoot me a note!
