I’m happy to say that Jack Morton is one of the most tightly-knit businesses I’ve ever worked in. The level of comfort and trust between people is something to behold, and it’s the main reason we’re so good at retaining talent.
We are not alone there, but the downside of any business with a strong culture and a well-connected team can feel a little exclusive to new starters.
We can go out of our way to make them feel welcome – show them around and introduce them to everyone – but what happens after the initial introductions have been made?
We all need a sense of place for us to feel like we fit in.
And it doesn’t matter how old we are, those first few days in the playground can be pretty tough.
So just remember to be nice to the new kids.

What's on my mind
About Me
- Kevin Jackson
- The glasses are important, since I’m almost totally blind in one eye. This means I have zero depth perception. Instead of making snap judgements, I have to think around a subject and look again to try and gain a sense of perspective. And that’s what I’m doing here - taking a different view of the trends and patterns around us to see if they’re as close as they seem, or further away than we thought. There’s not a discipline within the communications mix that I haven’t spent time in – what connects them though, is my passion for igniting advocacy and word-of-mouth. I’ve also worked on multi-platform campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, we are all on first-name terms. Ultimately, whether it’s a consumer, business or internal audience, no one is exempt from my belief in engaging experiential communications. Over the last four years ago, I’ve been busy developing relationships across the telecoms, technology, FMCG, retail and energy sectors, to name a few.
