Neoco

Jody Minton is having the time of his life!

Neoco are really happy to announce a period of recruitment in this time of global economic downturn – we like to buck the trend! Jody Minton is new to our Account team and comes with a prestigous agency background including Stream\TBWA & Tequila, working on large pan-Euro projects with clients including Adidas, Nissan, Playstation, Masterfoods and more. Jody is really into football and also supports the Spuds… I mean Spurs.

Without further ado, I’ll hand over to the man himself:

“So, how did I end up at Neoco?  Well, it’s all about what you want from your next big move I think.

You want to feel excited about work, you want to feel like you’ve got a new challenge, and a big one at that.
You want to feel like you can really add something to the process – and make things happen.

Neoco represents that for me.  Cool place, cool work, cool clients and cool team.  That doesn’t happen very often.

I don’t need to tell everyone that digital has been the biggest growth area of our industry (advertising and marketing) in the last decade and the steamroller’s not stopping… but I do need to tell you I want to be a key part of it. We’re still scaring the hell out of the big ad boys (and girls), while they scrabble around with a 30sec TVC, we’re creating social media apps and mashups!

It’s clear the agency wants to drive forward and challenge things, meaning I’ve been gifted a unique opportunity to influence the future here – and I’m lucky enough to find that bundled up with fun people, in a fun environment.

And that, doesn’t happen very often either.”

Thanks to Jody, we already have an assortment of cool/ cheesey phrases bounding around the office, including:

“What’s going down in Chinatown?” and my personal fave “This is Soho, not Guantanemo!”

Looks like I’ll have to watch my back on this one as Jody is definitely going places. Welcome to the team.
