Jane has had the pleasure of being a Creative Director in three countries...Canada,Hong Kong and the USA. She was the first woman chair and youngest person ever to lead the Canadian Marketing awards. Jane is a past president of the Art Director's Club of Toronto. Her favorite accolade was to win the best commercial of a decade for all of Asia which got her a handwritten note from her worldwide chairman and many free trips back to Hong Kong to judge award shows. Jane is a proud recipient of the 2008 NABS HONOR roll. Having personally won over 350 creative awards, Jane says that she has stopped counting but still loves to win. When she is not gardening or golfing or birding or being mommy, you may find her ordering dim sum in Cantonese. But more likely, she will be immersed in the North American pharma world which she loves and has been a part of for seven years.
Jane has let it slip that she always wanted to be a doctor.
It's tough to do great DTC creative. So many restrictions. So many can't do's...I get a thrill when I see breakthrough pharma work. And even more of a thrill, when my parents call to see if a great new spot they just saw on the TODAY show is something that I touched. The CLIOs stand for great creative. Now it can stand for great healthcare creative too!
