A man of many interests, Lyle is one of those rare individuals with whom you could have an enlightening conversation on virtually any topic imaginable. It was his love for music, however, that ultimately set him on his journey toward being the Broadcast Producer here at the agency. As a wee lad in the 60s, Lyle spent many late nights scanning the AM band in search of rock 'n' roll and R&B from U.S. stations hundreds of miles away – which sounds like the inspiration for a Rockwell print. This affinity for radio would eventually lead him first to Ryerson University and then to a small town radio station where he began to learn the trade and hone his writing skills. Then, somehow, in 1989 planets aligned and Lyle landed at JAN Kelley Marketing – and it’s been his home away from home ever since. His love for music hasn’t ceased, as evidenced by his growing collection of concert ticket stubs.

When we first described our Metrolinx TV concept to the producer, we were told it would take 8 weeks or more to complete. That was three weeks before we had to be on air. So how did we get there on time? First, we had the right client. One who respects our ideas, trusts our judgment and cleared access to the places we needed to go in a ...
In the summer of 1968, Chicago police battled protesters outside the Democratic National Convention while I, still an impressionable youngster, watched in fascination – not only the violence on the streets but also at the clash of opinions broadcast on TV. The ABC network had enlisted conservative writer William F. Buckley Jr. ...

On an evening shortly after the closing of the Vancouver Olympics (having relinquished control of the clicker box), I found myself watching a PBS fundraiser featuring doo-wop and pop vocal groups of the '50s and '60s. It struck me that they we're reprising hits (for many there was only one) from almost half a century ago. Hard to image an...
