About Us

OUR TEAM

We are led by our President, Jim Whelan, who’s a master at laying out the path for where we want to take the business. He is the visionary and high-level decision-maker.

The day-to-day operations are driven by our Executive Team, that focuses on how to expand the business, customer attraction and retention strategies, and constructing innovative ideas for how to expand those clients’ businesses. Our Sales Managers are not only experts at bringing in more clients, but they are focused on the education and development of our Sales Team. They coach the team on best practices for cold calling, client interaction, and other topics that make our Sales Team the best in the business.

Once a business signs on to work with us, the Media Department develops a high-level strategy to get that client where they want to go. This team is in charge of media buying across all platforms to get our clients’ messages in the right places, and in front of the right audiences.

Behind the scenes, the Accounting Department keeps our invoicing and payments in order, and crunches numbers to evaluate opportunities for growth; Human Resources keeps our team happy and our business in compliance; and the Legal Department ensures we’ve dotted all our i’s and crossed all our t’s.

CULTURE

This is not a stuffy operation: come as you are and feel comfortable in your own skin. We know that hard work and commitment are what success is made of, not a suit and tie.

That’s not the only way we’re busting past the “typical” way of doing things. At TheJRWA, you’ll never see any commission cuts and that opportunity inspires our salespeople to hustle for more leads, put in the time to nurture those relationships, and continue to build a strong foundation for the company. We want our people to make as much money as they can, so we refuse to build a ceiling over their potential. If you’re a highly driven salesperson who cares about building relationships with clients, wants to help customers grow their businesses, and wants a job where your compensation directly corresponds with the amount of work you put in, then you belong here.

We’re a team that works hard, but still knows how to have fun, and we reward a job well done. We reward success, and we give you the tools to get there. Whether it’s a course you want to take about the latest SEO strategies, or an advertising conference you want to attend, we pay for your continued education. We connect with some of the best thought leaders in our space for top-notch education and networking. By investing in our own team, we invest in their ability to expand our own business.

GIVING FORWARD

The endless potential of our impact isn’t just obvious in advertising. In keeping with our core value of responsibility to each other, we believe in making a difference in our community and the world, too.
We have a special relationship with the Caring House Project, which works to build villages for underprivileged families in Haiti. We give a portion of our proceeds back to the organization and sponsor orphanages in Haiti.

In Florida, our community impact is far-reaching. Sometimes if we see someone on the news working to make their community better—through a Christmas giving project, or a weekly soup kitchen—we like to show up and surprise them with a monetary donation or an offer to help out in person. We also donate to several animal shelters in the region who work to find loving homes for rescued animals.

FOUNDER FEELING

“I started this agency out of my garage more than a decade and a half ago. Since then, we’ve weathered the ups and downs of getting a business off the ground and become a household name in advertising.

It’s no wonder then that we believe in the power of exponential growth-of our clients’ businesses, and of our own team members. We view everything not through the lens of the status quo, but from the lens of potential. We look at clients’ businesses, and dream of all the ways they could scale their impact, all the methods they could use to turbocharge their message.

And when it comes to our team, in growing at their own careers and lives, they’re just as allergic to the status quo. Here, there’s no limit on commission. Here, there’s no ceiling to a person’s potential.

At TheJRWA, we don’t put a cap on what is possible, we simply provide the jumping-off point.

You can build financial freedom at this agency: all it takes is hard work and a commitment to growth.

If you are ready to make that commitment—and you are ready to become financially independent at a company that cares about your growth—we would love to have you on the team. Contact me when you’re ready to join the most powerful team in advertising. “

Jim Whelan on Business Growth - Why Our Clients Love Working with Us

Hi, I’m Jim Whelan.

Clients love our 360-degree approach to expanding their business, helping to see beyond what they’ve always done. They love our “no ceiling to potential” and “seeing past the limits” approach to sales. And we love it when we see our clients winning and increasing revenue and results year after year.
