“I had the pleasure of working alongside Jarrad on the PanPac Swimming Championships on the Gold Coast of Australia in August 2014, and he was a star from beginning to end. We were a small unit with lofty goals of producing daily event coverage for Canadian Television. Jarrad’s work ethic, ability to work under pressure and diverse skills enabled our production to succeed. He was tasked with wearing many hats from DOP, Camera Operator, Field Producer, Media Manager, Crew Chief and Local Expert which he delivered beyond expectations in every way. Jarrad is a true team player, creative thinker and quickly builds solid and lasting relationships with those he meets. I have the upmost respect for Jarrad, his work and his can-do positive attitude, and I highly recommend him.”

“A brilliant collaborator, Jarrad possesses the motivation to stand out on many projects. I had the pleasure of teaching him for two years and admired his ability to juggle many projects at the one time with success. I was particularly impressed with the way he would share his knowledge and aspirations with others. An out-of-the-box thinker, Jarrad would be a great member for any creative team.”

“Jarrad was our Creative Manager at Bear Marketing for several years in which we covered a diverse range of agency level creative projects and campaigns. Jarrad is a pioneer of great ideas and creative concepts - not only guaranteed a great story and quality production but also made it fun and inspiring for every team member involved! Whilst he has left our team to go overseas, he always remains a half bear!”

“Jarrad is one of those guys with an endless abundance of raw creative talent. He’ll get a glimmer in his eye and come up with one idea after another, and amazingly, they’re all good. It’d be intimidating, but he has so much fun with creating content that it’s not. Put a camera in his hands and he’s a happy man. He has a passion for media, sharing it, teaching it, coming up with new ideas for it. I’ve worked with him on a photo and video shoot for a client of ours. We came up with a creative idea together and had a blast executing it – the results turned out awesome, delighted our client and got a lot of shares in the community. It’s always great working with people who have fun with what they do, and media is definitely where he comes alive. I also think he’ a great teacher for young talent – though he is a perfectionist, he loves teaching and inspiring others. I wish I had the chance to work with him more frequently. If you’re looking for a creative director, he’s your man!”
