New on Deck: Account Executive Janna Jackson

At Banowetz + Company, there a whole lotta shakin‘ goin‘ on: We’re excited to announce that Account Executive Janna Jackson has joined our crew. Janna comes to us with a marketing degree from TCU and eight years of experience working at The Nieman Marcus Group. Her luxury retail experience makes her a perfect fit for our client list. 

Janna is well versed in developing and implementing advertising plans and ensuring that all creative is on-strategy and on-brand. She can manage a project from budgeting to delivery and all points in between. And she’s no stranger to working with media partners to strategize placement and added value for our clients. Passionate, bright and energetic, Janna will be a great asset to Banowetz + Company. 

When she’s away from the office, Janna can be found socializing with friends or spending time with family. She also enjoys yoga — and it must be working, because she’s definitely calm, cool and collected. She’s also a self-proclaimed championship bowler, but we haven't taken her to task on that one yet. Stay tuned and we'll let you know how it goes.

Good Things are Happening at Banowetz: New CD Adam Hallmark

Banowetz + Company is very excited to welcome Adam Hallmark on board as our new Creative Director. Adam brings 20 years of expertise with him, having worked with national companies such as Haggar and Fossil, and on brands like Texas Instruments, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Target, GTE, Frito-Lay, Viacom and Nike — and the list goes on.

Adam has extensive experience in brand development, from new brands to rebrands. His vast portfolio includes identities, packaging, advertising and design across every possible medium. And he's not just prolific: He’s good. His clever and strategic thinking and clear communication have landed his work in every major design publication and have resulted in numerous awards. His track record for improving brand awareness and perception is impressive. In fact, if he weren’t such an uber-nice guy, working with him would be downright intimidating. But Adam is also a great people-person and manager, and his excitement about doing good work is contagious.

When Adam’s not designing, he’s a husband and family guy who enjoys spending his time watching his kids participate in baseball, volleyball and dance. He’s a lover of music and collector of pottery. We hope you will get the chance to meet him — or better yet, work with him on a project — really soon.

Hanging Out at Logo Lounge: Cheers to B+Co

When working on a logo design, one of the best resources for designers is LogoLounge.com. With the most comprehensive collection of logos available online (or anywhere), Logo Lounge makes it easy to see what’s already been done, to get inspired and to get a feel for current logo trends. They also publish a yearly design annual of the best work submitted from around the country (a great gift idea for the designer in your life!).

We, of course, subscribe to Logo Lounge and submit each of our logo projects after completion. So we were excited to see that Banowetz + Company was not only recognized as one of the top ten submitters of logos, but also as one of the top ten companies to have their work added to the lightboxes of other designers. It’s always a great feeling to have our work noticed by others in our industry. Since there are over 225,000 logos on the site, it’s pretty cool to know that ours are getting so much attention. Check out the article here.
