About Owen

Owen specializes in building and rebuilding brands from the inside out, doing whatever it takes to create positive, meaningful experiences and brand relationships.

The confederation of minds that founded Owen Jones & Partners walked out of a couple of Bay Area agencies during the economic downturn of 2001 determined to do it differently— and better. During a late-night cabal at a coffee shop on Haight Street in San Francisco they formulated a business model that was decidedly bohemian and capitalistic. Maybe it was the huge lattés, maybe the free-spirited surroundings — but they found themselves pondering the question:

What if we started an agency and didn’t care if we actually did very many ads?

So, nine years later, we actually don’t do all that many ads, which is not to say we haven’t been busy — or that we don’t love ads.

Long story short: We built an agency capable of doing whatever it takes to achieve a specific communications or brand result. Sometimes that is as tactical as an online campaign, as simple as a website or a video. Sometimes it’s as big and broad as naming and creating the vibe and voice for a brand new company. And, yep, sometimes it’s an ad.

Owen Jones & Partners is predicated on the belief that actions speak louder than words. Show, don’t tell.

We encourage our clients to live by that as well. Stand for something. And follow through. Make your customers’ experiences — through the product, the advertising, customer service, guerrilla marketing, or word of mouth — amazing and consistent. Be yourself. Emphatically. Decide what it is you do, do it well, and don’t be afraid to stick to your guns. All agencies say the same thing about themselves. Strategic this, creative that, results-oriented, blah, blah, blah.

Owen Jones & Partners believes that these qualifications — the ability to research, plan, and create — are the most basic elements to branding world. They are, in short, the price of entry into the communications business. If you have to tell people you’re smart or cool … well, then, you’re probably not.

Owen takes a holistic view of your brand.
