Jefferson was first established in 2010, and since then we’ve worked with many (if not most) of the leading lights in the marketing, advertising, and media arena. Our reputation is based on us, the people who work for Jefferson, and we can collectively point to many years of actual experience working within the industry – as the platform for the tactical and strategic support we offer today.
Following the crushing realisation that I wouldn’t ‘break’ Hollywood, I set to work forging a career within the world of marketing agencies – and can now point to over 13 years of ‘hard earned’ experience in Client Services, Business Development and Organisational Development. All while working for a number of leading integrated and brand comm marketing agencies, covering both the B2B and B2C sectors.
My next challenge was recruitment, and after joining a consultancy I worked my way up to manager before finally becoming business owner. Jefferson was thus born. Today, our recruitment teams and specialist consultants are always interested in hearing from anyone who might be seeking a new challenge, looking to recruit, or thinking about developing their own business through merger, acquisition or investment. All conversations are held in the strictest of confidence.
