Building Brands at the Intersection of Culture & Commerce
For more than two decades, JP Cutler has built trusted relationships with many of the world's leading chefs, musicians, creators, and innovators — relationships that now serve as the foundation for the JP Cutler Media venture studio. As founder and CEO of JP Cutler Media, he has created career-defining opportunities for clients through strategic communications, partnerships, content, and business development, helping transform creative talent into enduring brands. JP Cutler has secured high-profile national television appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Good Morning America, CNN, NBC’s “TODAY," Bravo’s “Top Chef,” CBS “The Talk,” Food Network’s “Beat Bobby Flay,” and NPR’s “Tiny Desk Concert.” Cutler has represented and collaborated with cultural icons, GRAMMY-winning artists, culinary stars, bestselling authors, and filmmakers including Joe Jackson, Arlo Guthrie, Al Di Meola, Everlast, Chucho Valdes, Ravi Shankar, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Dominique Crenn, Kyle Connaughton, Emma Lovewell, Kristin Cavallari, among others. As a talent booker for original series and leading podcasts, he has booked appearances with Questlove, David Chang, Jo Koy, Herbie Hancock, Ice Cube, Seal, Padma Lakshmi, Ayesha Curry, Alice Waters, Patti LaBelle, Bobby Lee, Randall Park, Daveed Diggs, Sung Kang, Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Samin Nosrat, Bonnie Raitt, Roy Choi, and Melissa King.
Over the course of his career, Cutler has built an unusually cross-disciplinary network spanning food, hospitality, entertainment, consumer products, media, and technology—providing founders and partners access to relationships rarely found within a single firm.
JP Cutler has secured national editorial coverage in The New York Times, NPR’s “Fresh Air,” Rolling Stone, Marketplace, Business Insider, Architectural Digest, Variety, WIRED, Entertainment Weekly, People, Wall Street Journal, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, and hundreds of top-tier digital and print media outlets. He also served as co-lead publicist for Norah Jones and Anoushka Shankar during the 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards and directed publicity for Jerry Douglas’ Artist-In-Residence series at the Country Music Hall of Fame featuring Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Garth Brooks, and Trisha Yearwood.
Beyond communications, Cutler develops original film, documentary shorts, and live experiences that strengthen brands and deepen audience engagement. He has produced two films including John Shearer: American Moments featuring the life and work of Civil Rights-era photojournalist John Shearer, whose iconic photographs documenting the funerals of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Muhammad Ali fights, and the Attica Prison uprising appeared in LOOK and LIFE magazines. The film premiered at Newport Film during the 2026 Newport Jazz Festival. The second film, Lisa Dahl: Blessed By Grace, is a documentary short directed by James Beard Award-winning Eric Wolfinger that chronicles the journey of Sedona chef Lisa Dahl following the tragic murder of her son in the 1990s, culminating in her becoming one of Arizona's most celebrated chefs. The film earned multiple honors on the culinary film festival circuit. JP Cutler produces exclusive brand experiences with partners including the three-Michelin starred restaurant SingleThread and award-winning Adonna Wines in Healdsburg, California. He has directed publicity for celebrity chefs at the Four Seasons Resort (Napa Valley) and InterContinental San Francisco Hotel.
After two decades helping world-class talent build influence, audiences, and commercial opportunities, Cutler is applying that same network, storytelling expertise, and commercialization experience to building category-defining consumer brands in collaboration with Michelin-starred chefs, James Beard Award winners, digital creators, celebrity talent, and emerging founders.
Supported by a collective of leaders in branding, product development, formulation, manufacturing, retail strategy, sales, and omnichannel distribution, JP Cutler Media brings together the expertise required to launch, commercialize, and scale high-growth consumer brands—all under one roof.
