JMS Continues to Support Our Clients and Community
Please be advised that JMS Marketing is fully prepared to manage our workforce through this disruption. We remain ready to provide businesses with ongoing marketing and communication services as we continue to navigate this new and continually changing business environment.
That said, we have taken the necessary health and safety precautions and our office remains open as of today. Should companies within Illinois receive a mandate to close temporarily, we have the resources, technology and production systems in place to serve our clients remotely.
Here at JMS Marketing, we are grateful for your business and for the opportunity to partner with you through good times, and challenging times such as these. Needless to say, we’ve experienced several of them in our 27 years in business and we’ve come out of them stronger, more grateful and much wiser.
Stay strong, remain healthy and we’ll all work through this together.
Jean Marie Saidler
President
Onward and Upward! JMS Marketing is on the Move to a New Location.
It was 2007 when we moved from our small office on Memorial Drive in Crystal Lake to our freshly designed offices on Exchange Drive. We filled it with dreams and loads of creativity. Yet, as the ink dried on our newly signed lease, the stock market crashed. After a few years of belt-tightening, we survived the recession and continued to grow the business.
Fast forward to 2018 and it’s time for another move.
JMS Marketing will be moving to our new headquarters at The Oaks Corporate Center effective July 8, 2018. We will remain in our mid-west community of Crystal Lake, Illinois as we have found it to be an exceptional location for business and family.
From corporate contemporary to warm and welcoming. Our new office has a classic design and is nestled within stately Oak trees. It carefully blends the modern elements of a marketing agency with a comfortable traditional style featuring lots of windows for natural light and cozy fireplaces. It’s beautiful!
Our new environment will enhance the level of service we’re able to offer to our clients. It will include more office and storage space, and expanded room for our creative think tank and virtual reality demonstration area.
Being passionate about what you do, embracing innovation and having a great team around you makes the journey so worthwhile. And of course, the ultimate joy is collaborating and creating with our clients, some of who have been with us since our early years on Memorial Drive. Yes, watching our clients grow is the ultimate reward.
While the move from Exchange Drive leaves us with feelings of nostalgia, the choice to move to our new Oaks headquarters represents a continued commitment to our future.
With are grateful for the continued business and support of our clients and look forward to more adventurous years ahead!
JMS Noteworthy: Jean Marie and Brad Earn Accolades
Sometimes people are surprised to hear that JMS doesn’t put its name on client work. But once in awhile, JMS is brought to the spotlight due to great clients and campaigns that keep us always pushing to achieve more.
Our Very Own Woman of Distinction
Each year with support from Shaw Media, McHenry County Magazine, presents the Women of Distinction Awards to individuals in the County who are role models and leaders in their fields and communities. These women come from many different backgrounds and work in a variety of industries, but they all share a common goal of paving the way for young women and giving back to the communities in which they live.
President and founder Jean Marie Saidler, was selected as one of this year’s winners; she joins an amazing group of other women who have made a clear impact on others. The JMS team joined Jean Marie at the awards luncheon on May 10, where she and the other winners had a chance to reflect on their journeys. Each recipient had wonderful advice to share. Jean Marie expressed her gratitude for being selected, recognized the staff and her family as her support system, and reminded the audience that young women should be assured that they really can do anything they set their minds to.
Designing for Quality and Precision
JMS often works with clients to develop new websites and to keep their websites updated as technology changes. For client K&L Anodizing, that time to update had come. K&L has been a leader in the highly technical metal finishing industry for more than 65 years. Their clients represent some of the largest industries in medical, aerospace, military and commercial manufacturing. JMS Senior Graphic Designer Brad Norlin took on the challenge, with the client’s goals and optimum functionality in mind. K&L wanted to refresh content, update pages and add new information in an industry where regulations change frequently but processes carry over through time.
Brad worked with JMS account managers and the client to develop a user-friendly design and layout that would present information quickly and succinctly. And this efficient design recently earned JMS an American Web Design Award from Graphic Design USA.
Take a peek at the updated website and let us know if you’re ready for a refresh.
Congratulations to Jean Marie and Brad on their recent achievements, showcasing how JMS goes beyond the expected for client success!
