Early music videos by Swivel included work for A Guy Called Gerald, James (band), The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Sundays and 808 State. In 1989 a small article in i-D Magazine  helped draw more attention from major record labels and Jacobs moved  back to London to set up the Swivel office concentrating on video  production.\n\nIn 1993 Jacobs directed videos for Tears for Fears,Texas and Steps and joined the American company Squeak Pictures. His subsequent career has included a wide variety of musical acts including, Moby, The Corrs, Gary Barlow, Midge Ure, Phil Collins and Cradle of Filth.\n\nJacobs has also worked as an editor of music videos, commercials and  television programs most notably on many recent shows featuring Derren Brown.",
