Geetanjali
Jaiswal

BLK J, Singapore
(Singpore)

View Details

Born in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India (a state in Northern part of the country). Brought up in seven cities. A failed attempt to become a doctor, a Bachelors in Science with absolutely no clue what to do with it, a Masters in Mass Communication and a handful of features in English dailies, a timely escape from a mother who wanted her to become a librarian just because she spent more time with books than with people, nine months of Crafting Creative Communications at Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA), Gujarat and advertising has turned Geetanjali into what she is today - a Senior Creative at BLK J, Singapore. Her project ‘Beauty Tips by Reshma’ – a series of beauty vlogs by an acid attack survivor Reshma Qureshi was launched to crowd source signatures on a petition to end the sale of acid. It took the world by storm. It furthered the cause and steered Ogilvy & Mather towards a series of firsts – D&AD Impact White Pencil, D&AD 2 Wood Pencils, One Show PR Gold and 2 Merits, Cannes 4 Lions incl. Glass, Film Gold, Creative Effectiveness Silver and 10 shortlists, 5 Spikes and over a dozen effectiveness awards like APAC EFFIES & AMES. However, it’s Reshma walking the New York Fashion Week that fills her heart with joy. A powerful sequel to help acid attack survivors reclaim their lives followed this. ‘#SkillsNotScars’ – world’s first job portal for acid attack survivors was launched. However, instead of written CVs it had video CVs so that the employers could see their faces. Other than her work on acid attack, she has led projects on Cadbury, Coca Cola, Hindustan Unilever Limited, Perfetti, Samsung and Vodafone. She was named one of the most awarded creatives in Asia by Campaign Brief Asia. She has served as a Jury at The One Club For Creativity Denver Annual Show. Whenever she's not working, she mutes her phone and practices standing on her shoulders (tries really really hard not to crash on herself). In India, we call it Sarvangasana. (P.S. Don’t try this at home.)

Les Kollegian has one main goal as CEO of Jacob Tyler: to create an experience internally to foster award-winning campaigns and externally to leave his client partners wanting more. Les has been responsible for the growth and development of the company since 2000. He holds a Masters in Communications Design from the University of Baltimore and has more than 20 years of experience designing marketing campaigns with an eye for innovation, strategy, and out of the box thinking that makes people nervous. He is honest to a fault and sometimes undiplomatic, but he focuses on building great relationships to ensure delivering on Jacob Tyler’s core values of honesty and integrity. If he doesn’t feel the job will bring value to his clients, he simply won’t take the work. Les was born in Cambridge, Mass and later moved to Maryland at age 11. He worked his way through high school, paying for private school as a warehouse employee in Washington DC and then through college at the University of Maryland as a waiter and bartender. After graduation in 1991, he was accepted to grad school and started working as a production artist working his way up the corporate ladder in multiple different agencies. It was a visit to San Diego in 1995 that inspired him to save up some funds and move to Southern California. He landed the Creative Director position for Echolink Interactive, a 150 person, San Diego based interactive media agency. There, he created interactive and traditional campaigns for Intel, Qualcomm, Gateway, America Online, Fox Television, and Chili’s Restaurants. In late 1999, he set out to work on his own and start his own agency. Jacob Tyler now has two offices, over 90 awards, over 30 employees, and Les has way more grey hair. Les speaks regularly at design conferences and Universities on the topics of Web Design, Omnichannel Marketing, Creative Strategy, Branding, and Usability. His current clients range from start-up companies to Fortune 500 firms, that include Four Seasons Hotels, Ritz-Carlton, Nuvasive, Sony, Bridgepoint Education, Websense, and TED. Affiliations
