We have put together a powerhouse of expertise. Our team includes strategists, producers, technical specialists, designers and video editors, all experts in their own field, from exhibitions, theatre and live events to digital media. And our team is truly global, able to speak to our customers in their own language – be it English, Dutch, French, Spanish, German or Italian, or Cantonese and Mandarin.
Where the project calls for it, we boost this highly motivated core team with talent from further afield, for research, store planning and optimisation, and for virtual-reality visualisation. Our wider international team includes architects, project managers and mechanical and electrical technicians, all of whom can deliver physical builds anywhere in the world to our specification.
“Thirty years in the communications business may sound like a long time, but it has gone by in a flash.
If I’ve learned one thing about our business, it’s that there is much more to it than mere production and what has really moved JB forward is our world-class Customer Collaboration Centres — the creative process of designing them, the strategic thinking to deliver them and, equally important, the long-term support to keep them running.
It’s a great privilege to lead such a talented and motivated team — their passion underwrites the success of every JB venture.”
“My specialist field is producing and running B2B videos and events, mostly in the FMCG sector. I’ve spent 30 years doing it and my experience runs to a wide range of other markets, too, including international telecommunications.
I always get a thrill from making a live event happen. For me, the whole process, from the initial strategy and objectives, to the seed of a creative idea, sparks an exciting process of thought, discussion and creativity, resulting in a spectacular finale.”
“I come from the world of 3D – designing and creating projects for theatre, brand experience and retail around the world. I have worked in a wide range of business sectors, from FMCG and beauty to aerospace, automotive and technology.
All my projects involve theatrical spaces, so understanding what audiences want and what they respond to is vital. Making them ‘feel’ the message, as well as listening to it and seeing it, is something I particularly enjoy.”
“Not surprisingly, I love all things technical, and I don’t mind being labelled the team nerd! I’ve spent the past 20 years working on projects at home and abroad for some of the biggest names in the business – Canon and Adobe to name a couple.
I started out in the music business, on the technical side, and that – combined with a lot of theatre work – has given me valuable experience in how to make an audience sit up and listen. This has been key to my recent work on permanent installations with the very latest audio, visual and digital technologies.”
“I am an unashamed technology geek. I have a passion for innovation, efficiency and automation, and have sold augmented and virtual reality and
eye-tracking software. My role is to bring all these miracles of technology to JB’s client projects.
What makes working for JB unique is our specialisms, which include the most advanced facial-recognition software and research solutions, through to holographic environments. We can provide cutting-edge and, in some cases, experimental technology and software solutions.
Together, JB and our global technology partners are aggressively – even obsessively – pushing the boundaries of a rich technological future.”
“I’ve been keeping our creative people in check for more than 20 years. I’m the one who makes sure we stick to our budgets and achieve value for money.
I work closely with our clients’ accounts departments, easing the flow of money and making sure it gets spent properly. It’s my job to ensure that we get maximum bang for each buck, pound or euro.”
“I’m the third member of Tony and Richard’s 30 Years’ Experience Club and in that time, there isn’t much I haven’t made a video about.
My role is to bring together the very best talent available – from writers, directors and cameramen to graphic designers, actors and voiceover artists – to create a wide range of programmes for clients at home and abroad. These include TV commercials, documentaries and product reveals to all types of corporate communication.
It’s rewarding work and no project is too big or too small.”
“I’m the one they come to for the big live events. When it comes to creating and designing international category vision projects for global clients such as GSK, Nestlé or Warburtons, it’s down to me!
I always get enormous pleasure from seeing my final creation doing its job, achieving the desired results and getting the message across clearly, stirring emotions and stimulating conversations that make a real difference. This is where my experience lies and where, I feel, I do my best work.”
