Welcome.
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.
We are JMI. We're an independent strategic and creative agency based in Richmond, Virginia (RVA). We are idea architects at the intersection of brands, community and culture.
Do we make stuff? You bet we do, and we're great at it. But we're not just some ad shop with impeccable charm and quick wit. We're experts that help brands navigate through the clutter and decipher the noise.
Method men...and women. Ah, Method People.
Building brands people love is what we do. And love is not a word to be taken lightly. We're super methodical when it comes to delivering the right strategy.
After all, consumer loyalty doesn’t come from speed dating. It's research, conversations and experiences that lead to Drake-like brand engagement for our clients. Or Bieber-like, in case you’re one of the few non-Drake fans. Besides, they're both from Canada.
In good company
We're proud to work with industry leading brands committed to innovation, authenticity and making a positive impact.
We build brands people love.
Children's hospital of richmond at vcu
The Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR), one of the nation’s top children’s hospitals, launched UCAN (You Can Control Asthma Now), a groundbreaking asthma treatment program. The program helps families of children with asthma through awareness and education, so that kids with asthma can live active, healthy lives. The program also provides community health care professionals with resources to help educate families about asthma.
HNTB
Working with world-class engineering transportation firm HNTB, JMI developed a multi-channel integrated campaign for E-ZPass. The GO E-Z campaign launched in October 2016 and ran through February 2017.
richmond jazz festival
Music connects people — it brings the world together. So when it comes to creating a one-of-a-kind experience where music intersects culture, it's just what we do. Check out the 2017 experience driven campaign we created for the premier music festival on the east coast.
family pictures usa
Family Pictures USA is a documentary-style magazine show based on the personal narratives of people across America who tell their stories through their family photos. We tackled a few small things like logo design, set design, visual treatments, social media and audience engagament. And by small we mean, kind of a big deal.
wash equals
Recently, JMI teamed up with WaterAid, a global leader in the water, sanitation and hygiene field that works across 38 countries to build and maintain access to clean water and safe toilets. Through the SMS platform, JMI created WASH Equals — an online community designed to allow people to read stories, share their own and participate in a global conversation about the importance of clean water, sanitation and hygiene through emotional connections and human experience.
We tell colorful, engaging stories.
The moral of stories.
Share More Stories
Share More Stories (SMS) creates insights for brands and organizations through personal, experiential storytelling. More in-depth than focus groups and more scalable than ethnography, SMS blends storytelling, qualitative research and analytics to help better understand consumers’ lives and experiences and what really motivates consumers on an emotional level. Thanks to our recent acceptance into IBM’s Global Entrepreneur Program, we’re leveraging IBM’s Watson artificial intelligence and cognitive technologies to provide deeper and more meaningful insights on a much larger scale. With that level of understanding, brands can better solve their consumers’ (or other stakeholders’) problems and strengthen relationships with them.
