Operating as usual
Dinner Bells ring, can you hear them?
Check out the full video at DinnerBellFoundation.org/HolidayBells and consider making a holiday donation this month to keep our frontline healthcare heroes and first responders fed.
From our J&S family to yours, happy holidays! This year, instead of giving away bikes, we're spreading the holiday cheer by donating 1,000 meals to the Dinner Bell Foundation on behalf of our clients. This gift will feed our frontline healthcare workers and first responders as a way to say THANK YOU for keeping us all safe and healthy.
Learn more at DinnerBellFoundation.org/HolidayBells and have a merry and safe holiday season.
December brings us plenty to celebrate, but our favorite things might be these six. Join us in wishing Steve, Caroline, Carter, Sam, Anjali and Blaine the happiest of birthdays!
Don’t worry guys, our newest Art Director Jamie will tie up her horse outside before she joins the call. We’ve convinced this beach-loving Floridian to join the team in Dallas bringing her live-event broadcasting experience with her. Lucky for us, there are plenty of Taco Bells around town to keep her fueled up. Welcome to the team, Jamie!
We’re excited to welcome our new Retoucher Tony Rios to our production team! Tony joins us with more than 34 years of experience under his belt working in both the print and digital worlds. When he’s not making clients’ products picture perfect you’ll likely find him gardening with his four pups or whipping up a recipe in the kitchen. Needless to say, we’re longing for the day when we can share a potluck with some of his homemade salsa or chili.
Thanksgiving looks a little unconventional this year. In lieu of our annual potluck, we asked some J&Sers what they would bring to a virtual one. You know, if Wonka Vision existed.
Kim- Activities. To distract from hanger setting in, Kim likes to bring an activity such as “I’m Thankful” placemats, a game of cards or reading from her book of 3,000 questions.
Caroline - Vegan Totsgiving Casserole by hot for food blog. This dish is basically Thanksgiving in one dish. Caroline would go from IRL bullying to cyber bullying her coworkers into trying her food this year.
Brooke - Party in Your Mouth. Brooke brings an original cocktail creation from her dad, aka Chris Bottlesby. 1 pt pear vodka, 1 pt. St Germain, 1pt. Grapefruit juice, .5 pt. Cranberry juice. Shake aggressively with ice. Garnish with a lemon peel.
Season - Dill Pickle Roll Ups to share. Dill pickles wrapped in cream cheese and ham, sliced into bite size pieces. Once you have one, you will want to eat them all.
Blaine - Salad. Blaine’s taking it easy this year with a salad inspired by sushi restaurants. Carrot Ginger Salad: Mixed greens, shredded carrot and sliced cucumber for a refreshing starter before diving into the big feast.
Jason - Puerto Rico’s National Dish: Arroz con Gandules, which is rice, pigeon peas, and pork, cooked in the same pot with sofrito.
Joanna - Hot Pot. While this looks a little different on COVID-19 era, Joanna and family come together with the Chinese tradition of hot pot. You can mix beef, seafood, veggies. - there’s no wrong way to hot pot!
We hope you have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving, celebrating both new and old traditions. ❤️
Join in wishing these turkeys the happiest of COVID birthdays.
Everyone, say hello to our newest Account Exec Anjali!
Fact: She’s the person you’re going to want on your trivia team because she’s got a bank of knowledge on all things 2000’s, true crime and Disney. (But back off, she’s ours.) She’s also a huge fan of Murder, She Wrote with Angela Lansbury which is just one more reason we love her.
ACD Carlos Flores is the flora we fauna over when it comes to harvesting creative ideas.
Monica is BACK. Our former intern spread her wings, finished her degree, tested out other shops and came back home as our newest full time Designer. And we couldn’t be more pumped.

‘Sup Supe?
This is Blaine, our newest Account Supervisor who knows a thing or two about food and wine, and is a COVID-19 inspired home bartender. On top of all that we can’t decide what’s the best part about her WFH set up – her fluffy white cat Fred or the fact that she always has the fixins for a Chicago hot dog in the fridge.
As we observe Veterans Day we are especially grateful to have Steve Kay on our team. To all who have served our country, we thank you for your service. Happy Veterans Day.
From Herkies to Roundhouse Kicks to Project Kick-Offs, our newest SAE knows how to fight for the win. Meet Kagan: a 4’11 former cheerleader, brown belt karateka and now the newest member of our J&S family. She will be leading the charge for clients such as Chili's Grill & Bar, FMS Bank and Truly Simple, and we could not be more thrilled to have her on our squad.

- Find out what’s on your ballot before you get there. Get your personalized ballot, check your registration and find your polling place at www.Vote411.org.

We couldn’t think of anything scarier than 2020 so instead of our normal shenanigans we’re reminiscing on the good times of Halloweens past.
These four? They’re crushing it. And we're celebrating another work anniversary for Carter, Kelsey, Shannon and Steve.
Patrick Murray and Mike Payer join Johnson & Sekin as the agency’s newest creative directors.
Old Friends, New Creative Team
Happy Boss’ Day to our fearless leaders. Thank you for everything you do!
Whoever said the life of a copywriter isn't glamorous needs to chat with Bryce.
See how the final product came to life... it's aliiiiive!....for Chili's Grill & Bar.
It’s with heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of Willie the Tarantula. Willie was truly a large and hairy part of the J&S family. Some saw him as a pet, some chose to see him as little as possible, but no one could argue that his presence wasn’t notable. Willie, it’s as if you crawled up the backs of our necks and straight into our hearts.
Needless to say, much like a tarantula’s skin every six months, many a tear has been shed at this difficult time.
Willie is survived by his father (if not in cold blood, then in spirit) Ryan Everett, his extended agency family, and too many thankful crickets to name. Rest in peace, sweet Willie. You will forever be our arachnifriend.
Did someone say work anniversary? (It was us.) Cheers to another year with Jason, Ryan, Alan and Alex!

We’d tell them to get six feet apart, but we haven’t figured out how to translate that into goat yet.
In memory of his mother Rita, our own Chris Sekin donated more than 850 meals to the healthcare heroes at UT Southwestern, where Rita received expert care. We’re immensely grateful to our partners at the Dinner Bell Foundation for making it possible.

Times have changed, but our city hasn’t. We’re still #DallasStrong.
Hey, stay outta my bubble.
Just Separate.
We were so preoccupied with whether or not we could, we didn’t stop to think if we should. (We couldn't leave our giant Dallas Zoo dino eyeballs homeless, could we?) #namethatmovie #itsprettyobvious
Don't touch that dial! The premiere of the 2020 AAF Dallas Addy's is coming soon to a Bomb Factory near you. (Brought to you in partnership with Johnson & Sekin. For whiter teeth and a brighter smile, try... Johnson & Sekin.)
Bryce Morgan is so similar to Spiderman that he should change his name to “Bryderman.” Bryce has the superhuman strength to stretch ideas and build creative that inspire people for a lifetime. His Spidey sense alerts him to the danger of C+ work. Like Spiderman, Bryce clings to walls due to his humility when the J&S are cheering over his latest music video manifestos for our partners. Bryce knows that his life, like his creative, is continuously evolving. For him, “It’s progress, not perfection,” unless he’s fighting crime, manifesting killer creative, or decorating the J&S office for the holiday festivities. This is why Bryce is JS/Just Super. We love you, Bryderman.
Writers like superheroes come in all shapes and sizes. Brazos Elkins' shape is like a Fry. Futurama Fry. Always heart lead, Brazos goes out of his way to help our partners with magnificent manifestos and words of wonder. In the office, Brazos lovingly tolerates all his coworker’s quirks and aims to do the right thing no matter how bizarre. Even when he makes mistakes, Brazos finds the positivity the moment and chalks it up to gaining more experience. Like Fry, Brazos exhibits remarkable bravery and self-sacrifice in the heat of intergalactic creative moments. When he’s not saving the day, Brazos likes to serenade the J&S tribe with our out of tune guitar. It’s all these collective talents that make Brazos so JS=Just Super Fry! We love you, Brazos. #bestweekever
Broadcasting at a range as far as one mile, there are no limits to the number of insects or types of copy that Alan McCoy to speak to at one time. Quantum telepathy, dimension-hopping, enhanced strength, increased agility skills are part of his toolkit. But Alan’s ability to rise to the occasion with his brilliance and humor in projects no matter what the size, is where is superpower speaks the loudest. Alan’s super wit creates a meaningful connection with our partners, our tribe, or any insects trapped in our office. This is precisely why we believe Alan is JS/Just Super. Super Fly, uh Super RAD. We love you, Alan. #bestweekever
If you looked up Creative Director Krista McCrimmon in the dictionary, you would find her under the definition of FIERCE. Krista is relentless to create the most daring and intentional way to communicate to move the world. She bravely steps out loud and proud and uses her being and curated words to create awareness, inclusivity, and ultimately love for ALL of the people ALL of the time. That’s why we think Krista is JS/Just Super. SUPER FIERCE. We love you, Krista! #bestweekever
With great power, comes great responsibility rings true for Spiderman, and for our true blue, Chris Sekin. His Spidey senses of crafting words to bring passion and connection are just one of his superpowers. While Chris embodies the concept of, “No risk, no reward”, he also knows that if you can lead and write from the heart, failure is always easy to defeat. That’s why we think Chris is J&S =Just Super. We love you, Chris! #bestweekever

We've loved rocking with our clients at the Dallas Zoo on this piece for Safari Nights-and, come to think of it, you should rock with them, too! Safari Nights begins this Saturday, April 29th.

Our cups runneth over for the talent of our client, Alex Bunch at TWFG. Insurance wiz by day, craftsman by night. He creates amazing glass mosaic art pieces – from mugs to shoes to even backpacks.
We loved getting to #TakeItSqueezy while producing this radio spot with our extra chill client, Fuzzy's Taco Shop. For a limited time, they're dishing out all new limed and loaded recipes. Better squeeze it in while you can.
Capri season is upon us and we're taking it seriously. A quick five flights is the perfect way to get your calf muscles looking lean and mean for the summer months ahead. #fitnessfriday
