Bio
David (DT) Thomason
Jane is one of the special ones. Gold in every sense. I worked with Jane at FCB for 13 years. Whatever the account, and there have been many, Jane has always delivered spectacularly for both agency and client. She’s a great strategic thinker, loves good creative, does the hard work, calls a spade a spade, nails the financial side, and builds very strong relationships - yet has none of the ego that would usually come with that package. (Jane’s also a classic victim of the Successful Suit Paradox. She’s such a loyal and consistent performer that she gets regularly ‘rewarded’ with more responsibility, and the most important and challenging accounts. She always delivers, the pattern’s continues.) Put Jane in charge of a team and she’ll organise and lead a high-performance culture. Put her in a senior agency management role and you’ll have an extremely valuable, no-bullshit, action-orientated voice of experience helping drive your growth. Jane’s also great fun, and I’ll always miss working with her and hearing her laugh - at least until we can do it again some time.
