Donna Plumbley
Jam Thinking have been an amazing support to O2 and our Think Big programme. We have worked on a number of different projects that have included: Infuse Festival - this was a large-scale festival project that needed to be branded, advertised and executed. The project management was superb with a co-ordinated and well-executed approach to the work. The festival was a huge success. Workshops – Jam Thinking developed and delivered a number of projects on behalf of O2. Using their marketing expertise Jam produced an online digital safety workshop that is going to be delivered to 1000’s of school children across the North West of the UK. The presentation is sleek and we have already had some unbelievable feedback from schools. Jam Thinking are now involved with a How to Sell yourself workshop which is aimed at helping young people to ‘Market Themselves’ to potential employers. The early feedback from the course is really positive. Social Media – with their background in Social Media Jam Thinking have provided bespoke training courses to a number of our customers in order to help them reach new markets and generate further sales. I would not have an hesitation recommending people to work with Roger and Jam Thinking, I feel that anyone who has this privilege will be much richer for their connection. Their work ethic is excellent and they always seek to understand their customers and help them deliver their objectives.
