jon is good4trouble

Hello, I’m Jon. A 20+ year strategy ‘vet’ who has worked for some of the industry’s most disruptive creative agencies, with some of the world’s biggest global brands.

Now, I am focusing my experience and talent to help brands and ideas that matter to the world, break through with purpose.*

I am a true hybrid strategist, working across brand, creative, and comms, bringing a unique perspective to every project.

I’ve turned climate science and economic policy into a lesson on extinction from a dinosaur.

Sold big lovin’ America on the benefits of going nimble and small (and British). Then, turned around years later and sold Detroit as an equal of an import.

My work has been recognized at the highest levels for both creative and strategic excellence.

Based in Miami, FL USA

Available for remote and on-site.

What’s so good about trouble?

We’re warned our whole lives ‘don’t get into trouble’.

But trouble is where the action is. It draws our attention. Provokes us out of our comfort zone.

Trouble is a strategy for creating change, because it creates the conditions for people to change.

So let’s get into trouble.
