J.O. Agency

You may have heard the proverb, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” We think, when it comes to facing adversity in the creative world of marketing and advertising, it’s worth it to have a friend. J.O. Agency has spent the last 26 years helping companies connect with their audiences and adapt to every shift and dip in the market. Looking for a friend to help you go far? We’re here to help. 💪🏼

Checking in with your work bestie on a Monday

Today we mark 26 years of J.O. Agency! Jennifer Henderson’s big decision to build a place for herself in a male-dominated world has led to 26 years of crazy creativity, team growth, relationships with incredible clients, giving back and mentorship. We’re proud to be a part of the less than 1% of ad agencies owned and/or run by women in North America.

Swipe to see a snapshot of the last five years of Christina Vela at J.O. Agency. ➡️

Aside from being a PR pro, she is a powerhouse of knowledge and poise, she teaches and leads, she always brings the fun, and she delivers a whole lotta mojo for clients each and every day.

Today marks five years for her at J.O. Agency and we couldn’t be more grateful. Here’s to many more adventures with clients and the team!

🎉 Let's hear it for Miguel, our revolutionary marketing executive!

✨It's been an absolute joy having him on board for the past year, along with his innovative ideas and unwavering dedication to the team. As he reflects on one year at J.O., here’s what he has to say: “It's been an honor and pleasure to work alongside such a creative group, producing world-class marketing, PR and creative work. It's hard to pick a favorite, but standout projects from the past year include work for Tarrant Area Food Bank, Flix Brewhouse, Range Construction, Graham Hart Home Builder, the U.S. Navy, Shoot Smart … the list goes on!“

Here's to many more years of collaboration, growth and success ahead! 🥂🎈

On this , Pierre is taking us to the legendary Stockyards! 🤠

Through the years our team has had the pleasure of working with Billy Bob’s, Stockyards Heritage, Texas Longhorn Breeders Association and more. Take a gander at the work (https://joagency.com/our-work) and then plan some fun in the Stockyards this weekend. From recent additions like Mule Alley and Hotel Drover to mainstays the likes of Los Vaqueros and Leddy’s, we recommend channeling your inner cowboy/cowgirl and immersing yourself in our city’s rich Western heritage.

Join us this Saturday, May 18 at the first-ever Lost N Sound South Main event. 🥳 🎸 Gallery 440 (housed inside J.O. Agency) is an official venue for the event and we can’t wait! Scroll to learn more about Lost ’N Sound and how you can hop from one live show to the next in South Main Village.

Starting at 4:30 p.m., The Pour Brothers will be performing on our lawn. Casey Wilson and Mike Webb, two lifelong friends, have turned their passion for music and songwriting into an unforgettable live experience. Their unique blend of roots-rock, soul, pop and Americana—both original songs and covers—promises to bring people together for a great time. Plus, you’ll get to show some love to our booze sponsor, Worthington Bank.

Inside, from 2 to 6 p.m. the gallery will have a retrospective-style exhibition showcasing the acclaimed artwork of Gerald Bell. This is a rare opportunity to purchase Bell's celebrated pieces at deep discounts as he funds his upcoming travels to Art Basel. With subjects ranging from personal acquaintances and animals to animé and whimsical fictional characters, Bell's diverse collection offers something for every art enthusiast.

Also on display will be Fort Worth's own Tatara Siegel, whose vibrant bubble gum-themed exhibition promises to captivate and delight.

Calling all Horned Frogs! 🐸💜 On this , Pierre is hanging out at TCU for graduation weekend. 🎉 Located in the heart of our city, the university is now home to just over 10,000 students, plus it’s a stone’s throw from favorite spots like The Woodshed and the award-winning Fort Worth Zoo. 🦍🦒🦏🦧🦦Our team has had the privilege of working with TCU through the years on a number of projects, including departmental branding and websites. See more in our portfolio.

On this , Pierre is strolling the bricks of historic Camp Bowie Boulevard! Did you know the street was formerly named Arlington Heights Boulevard and became a military training camp for the 36th Division during World War I? Today it's a real blend of Fort Worth style and nature — from historic landmarks to new hotels like The Crescent Hotel, Fort Worth and Bowie House, Auberge Resorts Collection to trendy boutiques, cozy cafes and green spaces. This weekend Pierre suggests you make a stop in somewhere along the bricks like the iconic Roy Pope Grocery Fort Worth, Blue Bonnet Bakery or Kincaid's Hamburgers.

We mentioned this quote in a recent blog and love it so much that we had to share it here too. Making people feel seen and heard as we help them achieve their business goals — that's hospitality to us. What do you think — where's the hospitality in your work?

It was an incredibly fun and satisfying experience to work with America's Navy on planning their 2024 in Fort Worth. Over several months our team conducted key research to identify the right organizations for the Navy’s engagements.

With our help their team identified which assets would be the most helpful for each organization, ranging from academic institutions to non-profit services organizations.

As the In City Planner for Fort Worth Navy Week, J.O. connected and confirmed engagements with:
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County
Camp Fire First Texas
City of Fort Worth
Cook Children's
Fort Worth ISD
Fort Worth Museum of Science and History
Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains
Lena Pope
