This graduate of the University of Western Ontario and Mohawk College is perhaps the best thing that has happened to the world of copywriting since the “bullet point” – a remarkable feat for someone who was previously a renowned “suit.” While Chris has managed to wow a number of our clients, his most notable contribution to the agency thus far has been the crafting of our staff bios. Yes, he has spent an incredible number of hours describing his co-workers under the veil of narrative anonymity. Even now you are being duped into thinking that someone other than he is behind this pompous excuse for a biography. But it isn’t just his writing that is so pleasing, so powerful, and so memorable. Chris, himself, is all of that and more. He is an impressive physical specimen and spends much of his away-from-the-office time in an athletic capacity. He’s a trained boxer and a fairly rugged hockey player, either of which will hopefully keep agency staffers from taking exception to the covert jabs many have received in their bios. That said, it certainly wouldn’t be out of the ordinary if you were to spot me...oops, I mean Chris roaming the halls sportin’ a black eye one day.
The JAN Kelley Senior Management Team was shocked to find they now face a budding gang crisis across the traditionally friendly agency. The divisiveness stemmed from a Meyers-Briggs session where staff-member personality types were identified and analyzed in an effort to aid workplace harmony and productivity. Toward the later stages of t...
It's here. Greeted with frosted roof-tops on the first December morn, the Holiday has officially begun. The opening of the first door of the Advent calendar symbolically christens the season as the countdown to Christmas begins. Well, your friends here at JAN Kelley are offering you an Advent Calendar of our own to ...
Could it have been the stack of plates teetering like the great Tower of Pisa? Perhaps it was the scavenger hunt for coffee cups, reminiscent of many an Easter morning. Or maybe, just maybe, it was that rim rejection of a tossed milkshake from 3-point land. It’s hard to pinpoint what the catalyst was, but the thinkers at JAN Kelley ...
Few were in a celebratory mood at the usually-upbeat agency this week as Employee-of-the-Month honours were awarded to the Server. This marked an incredible run of five consecutive monthly crownings in 2011. Given the firestorm of controversy, comments from the Senior Management Team were limited. One source, requesting anonymity, offer...
It’s a bit of a migration from the regularly scheduled programming – but there’s some ranting to be done! Two nights prior to this post our hometown Hamilton Bulldogs defeated the Manitoba Moose in game seven of the North Division finals – a game needing triple overtime to yield a winner. An impressive script that...
A quick browse through the profiles of Canadian advertising agencies reveals a spectrum of aptitudes and capabilities. Some are specialized and some wear many hats. Noticeably missing is an agency that prides itself on their ability to nurture and develop Male Models. Until now. At JAN Kelley Marketing, we have embraced the ...
In what observers are calling “a moderately remarkable feat”, JAN Kelley Marketing has proudly launched a Facebook Fan Page. While “launch” may be a rather grandiose term, the plans for this page will, without a doubt, have you clicking that little “like” button with wanton enthusiasm. Besides, NASA act...
Any anthropological study of the human condition will show that conflict is simply a part of life. And when close proximities combine with a high-stress working environment, the potential for friction is near-imminent. Such was the case Monday morning as agency Art Director, Mike Bzowski, exited the kitchen with a hot cup of coffee. Une...
While much maligned for their impact on knees and lower backs, the JAN Kelley stairs have become an undeniable hot-bed for small-talk. The most remarkable finding, from the recent study conducted by the JKM Behavioural Analysis Unit, was that the subject matter is often the stairs themselves. Early morning ascents are typically kicked off...
A fruitful brainstorming session, for an undisclosed client, nearly came to a halt early yesterday afternoon. Agency Account Director, Krista Kay, had gathered a diverse group of brainstormers from throughout the agency and prepared them well for the session. “They had reference materials, some short background documents and jus...
