What Do People Who Have Worked With Jon Have to Say About Him?

Nick Capanear – ECD, Intouch

Jon was my production partner at GSW NY for 10 years. We made a lot of great work together and it was fun doing it. I don’t think there are many Jon type skill sets in healthcare advertising at least in my experience. Jon blends a highly selective craftsman’s level taste with acute understanding of the production process and then wraps that up in expert negotiation skills. Jon is the real deal as far as producers go and also a good friend. Highly recommended.

Michael Bonilla – SVP, Executive Creative Director at Klick
Jon established my definition of what a great producer is. Jon is a pro’s pro, has the sharpest eye and quickest mind, and every single person that he interacts with loves him. Jon made me a better creative and a better person. If you have the chance to work with Jon, take it. 

Bruce Rooke – Former CCO JWT / ECD GSW

Jon is the much-needed “Optic Nerve” of an agency; creating that crucial connection between “the eye” (design, production, look) and “the brain” (the strategically-driven big idea.) Agencies are well-versed in turning great-to-good, thinking that selling the client on a great idea is the ultimate success, and then letting the victory shrink (vs. grow) with predictable ham-fisted production. Jon has an eye for what an idea needs in order to play on the big stage; CGI or illustration, illustration or photography, film or animation, VR or AR, and then discovers the smartest way to get it done. He challenges himself, he challenges the creatives, he challenges production companies to constantly raise our art.

Christine Bringuez – VP, Group Design Director, Intouch

Jon is one of the best producers around. He has endless knowledge of production and art, and an incredible eye. Also, he has a unique ability to source talent and forge connections in a way that seems effortless, but certainly is not. Every campaign I have worked on with him has been elevated far beyond my expectations through his creativity and relentless pursuit of perfection.
