Brace yourself.
Have a sit down.
Pour a stiff drink.
After four years of perspiration, dedication and cogitation, I’ve resigned from Jack Morton.
I’ll be leaving behind some good friends, great colleagues and fantastic clients.
But I’m also excited about the new opportunities that lay ahead.
Leaving a job, especially when you love it as much as I did, is always strange.
No matter how indispensable you think you are, it doesn’t take long for the waters to close over your head.
Before too long, you’re a footnote.
An anecdote.
And a scapegoat.
Expenses will be claimed in your name.
Missed opportunities will be laid at your door.
That’s just the way it goes.
At times like this, it’s important to focus on the positives.
The things you learned, the achievements you made and the friends you won.
And remember that there are plenty more where those came from.
I’ll see you on the other side

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.
