Scoring Big with LIVV Headphones

Mark Clayton was an All-American at OU, setting the single season record for receptions, TDs and receiving yards while going on to set the school’s receiving yards record with 3,241. His success carried over to the NFL, where he played six seasons for the Baltimore Ravens and St. Louis Rams. During pre-game warmups, Mark’s headphones kept falling off his head, which inspired him to create the first over-ear headphone that doesn’t slip. The Kickstarter brand has been featured on Forbes, USA Today and MSNBC, and J&S has been selected to take it national.

Getting Saucy with Jardine’s

Jardine’s has been producing quality Texas foods since 1979. You could say their recipes are genuinely Texan, as the Chisholm Trail actually begins on their property in Buda, Texas. The company known for legendary salsas was expanding into the evolving Taco Sauce category and tasked J&S with adding a little spice to their new packaging. The new product with our Tex-meets-Mex design will be on grocery shelves nationally in late Spring.
