For Jonathan the opportunity to put his years of experience in finance and business development to work to launch a new customer-centric agency with a fresh approach proved to be the dream of a lifetime. Today, as one of the firm’s managing partners, he enjoys working with clients to solve marketing challenges and plan for future success.
