Jay Thornton’s Summary
Before JB Hunt I was a freelancer gathering much of my experience in the entertainment industries including the Miami club scene and hotel and restaurant advertising and marketing. Freelance work teaches you a drive and self-motivated efficiency in product development that I believe truly translates to the corporate environment I am in at present. My drive, education and experience will help me to move up in the corporate advertising world by streamlining and modernizing our outward voice.
Jay Thornton’s Specialties:
I am well versed in the technical aspects of corporate infrastructure from my experience as an IT professional before I went into creative advertising. The combination of technical ability and a creative gift make me very strong in my industry.
