“An hour with Jeremy is like an hour with the Scared Straight sergeant of creativity.”
–A completely made up testimonial
Jeremy strives to educate, entertain and inspire audiences with the talks he gives about creativity. He intends to be challenging. Hopefully some of the things he says will leave audience members feeling a little uncomfortable under their skin. Even more hopefully, that discomfort will be the creative bug nagging at them once it’s been jarred awake by dint of something inspirational but not necessarily motivational, as Jeremy does not wish to be Matt Foley.
Jeremy primarily speaks to university students, but has also spoken to professional groups such as AAF chapters and special interest groups.
Perhaps you’d like Jeremy to speak to your group. That would be swell, and Jeremy would love to come. Why not send an email today and get the ball rolling?
Some of Jeremy’s talks:
From Cowboy To Astronaut
Slides on SlideShareThis is one version of the talk that got Jeremy started with university speaking. This talk is split into three logical sections:
- What’s like to work in advertising?
- What are trends that advertising students need to be paying attentions to?
- What are some bits of advice that might be useful to someone getting started in the industry?
How To Be Creative (OR: How Can I Possibly Do Justice
To This Subject In One Hour?)
Originally written for the Principles of Strategic Communication class2 at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, this talk began its life on the subject of creativity, most specifically HOW to do creative work and glean insight and inspiration from a well-written creative brief. Since then, the talk has transformed to appeal to all creative people.

Jeremy’s presentation at Pecha Kucha Night: Kansas City #4 attempts to answer why people you barely knew/didn’t know/didn’t like/etc. from your earlier years are coming out of the woodwork and sending you Facebook friend requests. This new age of connectedness brings an interesting question to light. “Are some relationships better off forgotten in the sands of time?”
Creative Turtleheads
N.B. This video features a juvenile poop joke. Carry on.
This Pecha Kucha-style presentation kicked off the inaugural edition of the Bulletproof event hosted by the Art+Copy Club of Kansas City.
Jeremy takes you through 12 years of creative failures and false starts contained on his 4 terabyte drobo. Illustrations, posters, lunchboxes, and a cartoon about a Tiki Bar await.
