Everyone is obsessed with the new Daily 1 smoothie! Another great mini-shoot day in the books! I love meeting new teams with great vibes!! Thank you @drinkag1! Your people are my kind of people 💚💚💚
It’s my birthday 🎂
This last year looked like:
• Doing deeper work with perfect-fit projects
• Getting faster at saying no (growth)
• Making strategy feel less intimidating and more actionable
• Trusting my voice
I love this work because branding is really just decision-making, and helping people make better decisions is my favorite part.
Very grateful for the clients, collaborators, friends, and the “this helped more than you know” messages that make this feel worth doing.
Another year. Still curious. Still building. Still allergic to fluff.
To all my small businesses and new brands:
🛑 STOP TAKING FREE LOGO WORK.
Not because new designers aren’t talented—but because your brand deserves intention.
Early designers are incredible at exploration: ideas, mood, references, visual directions you might not have considered. That work is valuable. It just shouldn’t be the final logo.
Use exploration to clarify your taste.
Then hand those insights to a professional designer who knows how to turn ideas into a system that actually holds up in the real world.
You can support new designers and protect your brand.
The goal isn’t cheap—it’s clear.
Because your logo isn’t just a graphic.
It’s the first thing your customer believes about you.
As I round the corner on another year of life, I’m being in all the good vibes for me, my creative business, my team, my clients and my FAMILY!!
clarifying for the record: CEO enthusiasm is a gift. mid-project chatgpt is just… exciting for everyone involved 😅
Tried to film an intro.
Met the entire internet instead.
Day 1 of 100.
Creating before I’m ready, not waiting to be perfect.
Founder Failure of the Week — Ep. 01
Nothing caught fire.
Still learned something.
I WOULDN’T HAVE PICKED THIS! But my job isn’t to love it, my job is to make the customer want to BUY it. The behind-the-scenes stuff that really makes everything come together isn’t always glam and fun! Tweaking the hierarchy, adjusting the scale, and making those teeny tiny fixes helped the Earthbar x IM8 visuals look just right (and get the final approval).
“We push brands beyond boundaries with infectious positivity—and build client‑owned assets that keep winning long after launch.”

About
We launched JLA in 2016 with one rally cry: good‑enough is never enough. After steering a wellness start‑up into a global powerhouse serving 2 million customers and generating $2 billion in cumulative revenue while training creative teams from Los Angeles to London, Amsterdam, and Munich, our founder Jennifer knew nimble teams could create outsized change.
She gathered her favorite strategists, designers, and hype‑squad creatives—blending data‑driven rigor with California sunshine—and JLAgency was born. Our Los Angeles studio collaborates in lock‑step with a hand‑picked global network of designers, photographers, videographers, and producers—working in real‑time sync so every deliverable lands with world‑class polish and round‑the‑clock momentum.
Now we partner with growth‑minded wellness and lifestyle brands to turn shelf presence and scroll‑stopping content into revenue.
To date we’ve shepherded dozens of launches across 17 countries, stacking wins like a 3x revenue pop for beaming and a 7% opening conversion rate for The Gut Gummy™.
Our mission? Fuse smart strategy with creative magic so every brand we touch steps into the spotlight and owns its space.
