After working in the family business for ten years selling media, Jamie left to continue his immersion in the industry as a copywriter at M5. During this time, Jamie saw an opportunity in the market and started Aquatique Translation Services in 2014. Since then, his company has worked for and continues to work with most of the bigger Atlantic Canadian ad agencies and a number of national and international agencies as well. With interesting and thought provoking conversations about learning from the family business, what it means to add value, the complexity of linguistics in advertising, and how AI may shake the foundation as we know it - it’s one you won’t want to miss!
