Thanks for stopping by.
I'm Jason, an award-winning creative director, copywriter and coach based in Toronto, Canada.
What I do best.
I create persuasive, effective advertising ideas, campaigns, copy and content for some of the world's leading brands. I’m multidisciplinary, with experience across digital, broadcast, print, social, content, direct, brand identity/naming and social impact marketing. I know how to push (and/or write) the brief.
I have a knack for talking to anyone, winning new business, selling ideas and keeping them sold, and delighting clients. I've taught copywriting. I love telling a good joke. And importantly,
I can take one, too.
What else?
I take the work seriously. Myself, less so. I respect people, love developing their strengths so they (and the company I work for) can reach their goals. I remain teachable, and believe my best work is still ahead of me.
Things I can’t live without? Quality time with my wife Sarah, two kids Sam and Ben, and Chocolate Lab, Bear. Other loves include Leafs, Blue Jays, Bills, Raptors (in that order). Photography. The New York Times. The Benji B radio show from BBC. Books. Cooking. Golf. Coaching and personal development.
