3RTC 2010 Keynote Speaker
Jack Supple
Prior to being named chairman and chief creative officer of Carmichael Lynch (CL) in 2000, Jack Supple held the positions of president, executive creative director and senior writer since joining the agency in 1979. During his 27 year tenure, CL emerged as one of the nation's top creative agencies.
Under Jack's leadership, the agency grew and expanded its account list to include Harley-Davidson, Porsche, Northwest Airlines, Gibson Guitars, Rapala, A.G. Edwards, American Standard and Coca-Cola. Jack helped CL expand its long-standing creative reputation into award winning PR, interactive, relationship marketing and design disciplines.
Jack left Carmichael Lynch in July 2006, finding the role of chairman of the 300-person agency to be too distant from the work. In January 2007, he began working with some former employees at Pocket Hercules, helping to create a pool of senior talent who could offer hands-on work to national accounts.
Pocket Hercules is an independent, full-service advertising, interactive, and public relations company that's set up to be a lean, nimble, branding powerhouse. Their working model is simple, transparent, and highly efficient: top-level talent works directly with clients which forges deeper partnerships, more potent work, and the ability to respond immediately to opportunities in today's ever-changing marketing landscape.
