Hi, readers!
We hope your 2022 is off to a happy and healthy start! It’s been a while since we’ve checked in, so we’ll catch you up to speed. Last year was a whirlwind for the JJN Multimedia crew as we traveled to new places, welcomed new clients and staff, and expanded our repertoire of skills.
We work hard to tell others’ stories for a living. This year, we’re going to make more strides to share ours with you. As of today, our team will be revamping our monthly blog to share insight into our projects, personal victories, and professional developments. (You can follow us on social media to stay in the loop!)
Despite the challenges we all faced in 2021, it was a year full of growth, learning and expansion of our capabilities (and staff!). Our team made the bittersweet move from our first JJN location in Pineville, West Virginia, and into our newly renovated office in Oak Hill. We gained new clients across Appalachia and beyond, and in July, brought on our newest staffer and one heck of a digital designer, Megan Taylor!
Each team member devoted time to honing our existing skills and branched out to learn new ones through our quarterly “rocks” (goals). J.D. Belcher established our team’s insurance policy, and as a group, we finished assembling our new team handbook. We also celebrated the marriages of two team members, Lexi and Lindsay!
Needless to say, it was an eventful year, and we hit our stride. But it wouldn’t have been possible without our wonderful clients, who continue to trust us with creating and managing their brands, creative content, and web presences. To kick off 2022, we’re recapping 2021 and sharing some of our favorite experiences. Onward!
In 2021, several team members took on new roles and positions, like Hannah Craig, who transitioned from graphic designer to a web developer. Hannah uses her skills to create fresh, innovative websites that align with our clients’ visions. Page Clay was also promoted to web development director, where she leads one-of-a-kind site creation efforts and delegates web-related responsibilities to our web team.
Lexi Browning, director of communications and operations, earned the latter half of her new title as she took over managing internal operations, video production logistics, and podcast editing. Cory Frazier also transitioned from art and web development to full-time art director, where now he spends his time creating and illustrating incredible content for clients.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, remote work has become more accessible for many professions, but at JJN, it’s been our norm for a while. Since the entire JJN crew is based across the southern part of our state, the majority of us work in remote roles across six counties. Currently, our seven-member squad is based across Monroe, Fayette, Mercer, Kanawha, Raleigh, and Wyoming counties!
Working as a partially-remote staff has enabled us to reshape our communication and connections with our colleagues and our clients. Not only have we built meaningful working relationships with our colleagues, we’ve also built friendships. In December, we met in-person for our office holiday party, and for several of us, it was the first time we’d seen our work pals off-screen. It was such a refreshing experience and a highlight for all of us.
For our first dispatch of 2022, each JJN team member has shared their 2021 highlights, with each list representing their favorite projects and undertakings.
