Interview: Carl Jones VP ECD of Grey Group Canada (Part 1 of 2)

Last Friday we talked with ,Carl Jones, Vice President and Executive Integrated Creative Director at Grey Group Canada. He started his career in Toronto after trying his hand in art school and later went on to work in Mexico at BBDO Mexico and Y&R Mexico among others.

He would become the most awarded Art Director in Mexico and notch up awards from Cannes, London International, and the One Show. Last winter he came back to Canada, taking his current position at Grey Group Canada, where he has worked on the recent Salvation Army campaign (check out the work here) and the Mood Clock which we wrote about here.

The following is part one of our interview with Carl on his story, advertising, digital and his advice for those just beginning to make their way through the maze.

Keep your eye out for part two as we head into the weekend and we want to give a big shout out to Carl Jones for giving us an hour of his time and finally here are a few iPhone pictures of their office.
