If Jake Jacobson had to send his cell phone a valentine, it would probably say something along the lines of “Don’t ever leave me” or “Appy Valentine’s Day.” The director of public relations at Children’s Mercy is in a pretty serious relationship with his phone and they make a great team. Jacobson is known for his mastery of social media and if you’re not following him on twitter (@JakesJournal), you’re missing out. The P.R. maverick happily got deep with 435 about his bond with his phone.
