RSS FeedJump Launches BrandStandards.ca!
Filed under: @Jump, Kevin, Press Releases — Kevin Hemsworth @ 8:52 am
We are proud to announce the official launch of our Online Standards Guide, BrandStandards.ca. Some of our most fortunate clients have already been working with us as we have developed this tool that should bring an end to the printed standards binder; they are already experiencing the freedom from having to struggle to manage their brand development resources amongst suppliers, vendors, and franchisees.
BrandStandards.ca is the portal to two exciting new products: the first, LogoStandards, is aimed at providing an online tool for any business struggling to maintain consistency and support an array of vendors who require access to your brand resources; the second, and arguably more exciting, is AssetStandards, which is designed for expanding retail store owners and Franchisors to efficiently and cost-effectively allow them to provide the tools and resources their franchisees need to maintain brand consistency at the retail level. Gone are the massive binders of retail asset drawings, schedules, and specifications, replaced instead by an online resource that allows your team to access up-to-date files – anytime, from anywhere.
We think you’ll agree that BrandStandards.ca offers you a better way to manage your brand! Call us to find out how we can help you put either LogoStandards or AssetStandards to work for your business.
A Room With a View
Filed under: @Jump — Kevin Hemsworth @ 1:16 pm
Sometimes you have to get rid of some clutter in order to rediscover something precious that’s been under your nose all along, but you’ve taken for granted. In amongst all the noise and disruption of having our windows replaced at the office, we’ve managed to find the silver lining to a chaotic couple of days. When we first moved in 4 years ago, we couldn’t get over the view from our west-facing corner office. Rusty old factory sash windows with distorted glass added character, but certainly did nothing to augment the view, and over time obstacles such as air conditioners and window scrims further impeded our prized perspective. Well, we are obstructed no longer. In between the removal of the old windows and the installation of the new, we are afforded a clean view of the Toronto skyline, and it reminds us not only of how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful city, but also how some of the finer things in life are so simple they can be forgotten. Thought we’d share one of ours with you.
We’re Looking for Free Agents
Filed under: @Jump — Kevin Hemsworth @ 9:29 am
As the NHL trade deadline approaches today, I couldn’t help but think about our current hiring needs, and wonder what the design industry would be like if we were to operate under the same rules and regs that pro hockey teams do.
That being said, we’re currently looking for both an environmental designer and a web developer/IT support technician to join our team…you can find out more about these opportunities on our Careers page.
For the web/IT position, we’re looking more to build through the draft, but the environmental position requires a more seasoned talent that has either been recently placed on waivers, is an outright free agent, or is currently under contract without the encumbrance of a no-trade clause. Unlike the NHL, we don’t have to make any deals by 3:00pm today, but we do need help sooner rather than later…playoffs are approaching. Actually, the reality in our industry is that every project is a seven-game series…there’s no cushy 84-game regular season here. There’s no summer layoff either, but I suppose we could let you take a vacation here and there. What you will get is an opportunity to play for a legitimate contender, on a team that is always competitive. You’ll play with other great talents who will make you better, as you will them.
So we’ll watch the NHL trading today with interest, but of more interest will be those looking to join our team. Do you have the right stuff?
Happy New Year 2009!

OK, so it’s a few days late, but at the dawn of another annum the team at Jump would like to wish every one of our clients, suppliers, family, friends, supporters a most prosperous and successful 2009. We have much to be thankful for, but in particular we would like to thank all of our clients for being such a big part of our success – we look forward to continuing to move each of your businesses and brands forward in the year to come. So, Happy New Year to you all, and we look forward to renewing acquaintances in the coming months.
