Joe Jackman was a featured speaker at RetailSpaces ’16.
In order to remain relevant, every successful business must be reinvented. And in the Age of Acceleration, when brand lifespans are shortening and businesses are being replaced at a faster rate, speed is now of the essence.
By profession, Joe Jackman is a reinventionist, a believer in and a practitioner of rapid business and brand reinvention. As the founder and CEO of Jackman Reinvents, Joe has pioneered an efficient and unique business model built on the need for speed and has proven its effectiveness many times over. In doing so, he has earned an international reputation for helping businesses facing decline get back to growth and relevance in record time.
As specialists in reinvention, Joe and his team collaborate with executive teams to harmonize their business and brand strategies, rally entire organizations to champion change, and systematically align all aspects of brand and customer experience: image, stores, websites and mobile platforms, social media and marketing communications, unique products and private brands, and, most importantly, the hearts and minds of employees. There is nothing as powerful as a community of people united in purpose and focused on a clear outcome, marching forward together and boldly creating the future.
Educated in industrial design, in his early career Joe co-founded what is today one of Canada’s leading brand design firms and was for many years its Chief Creative Officer. He went on to tackle business challenges at one of its clients, Loblaw Companies, Canada’s largest independent retailer, as Executive Vice-President, Marketing. There he was among a group of executives charged with steering the company through its initial restructuring.
Joe’s journey to reinvention accelerated when he left Loblaw and simultaneously became Consultant and Acting Chief Marketing Officer to both Duane Reade and Old Navy, helping guide them through their reinventions.
Today Joe leads a 100+ multi-disciplinary team of reinventionists in Toronto and New York – researchers, business analysts, management consultants, marketers, creative directors, writers, designers, digital specialists, and activation managers – all focused on accelerating shareholder value creation through their groundbreaking approach to reinvention. He and his team have completed or are in progress on over a dozen reinventions, and to date have shaped hundreds of billions of dollars of sales.
