Guest: Jesse Jones

Who is he?: Brand Manager for Mark Ecko, Nautica and TX; Timex Group

What is he up to?: Pulling references and inspiration from what’s happening  in the music, entertainment, fashion and new media industries, he seeks out interesting ways to apply trend to his brands.  At the moment, he’s preparing for an unique approach to his TX Canadian brand launch (happening early 2010) and gearing up for the release of Nautica’s new web presence, and lots more in development for his portfolio.

Jesse is also working towards launching his latest personal venture, u-ology101.com – a program aimed at empowering and mentoring youth. Their motto: “Uncovering Passions, Actualizing Dreams”.

Every week at the Hermann & Audrey homestead we do a family lunch – it’s an opportunity for everyone in the studio to decompress from the work week, chill over a home cooked meal and share what we’re up to and inspired by.

This family time quickly evolved into a meeting of the minds, per se, as we began inviting select friends we know and those we don’t, to share our talents, from culinary to artistic, bounce ideas off each other and catch up on projects, new and old.
