The Met Agency

08/24/2023

On this day in 2005 The Met Agency was officially incorporated as a company. I was lucky to have a business partner and brother in James Schutz, who took a chance on starting up a company with no money and no clients.
Instead of celebrating the company today, I wanted to celebrate all the fantastic people I've had the opportunity to work with over the years. People like Michelle McBride, Jane White, Andrea Gibson, Adolfo Ruiz, Chris Reyes, Dale Bochon, Adrian Watzke, Blake McWilliam, Jeremy Chugg, Jim Hunter, Justin Kowalczuk, Darren DeVries, and so many more.
Thank you for spending time with me over the years and unleashing your talents. XO JMo

Just weeks before the pandemic hit, the team had just wrapped up this project for the City of Leduc. They asked us to create a very special "lookbook" aimed at event organizers and decision-makers. The intent was to showcase the facilities and the city culture and to help sports organizations to imagine their sporting event was hosted in Leduc.

Stand Out Making a mark in sport tourism The category of sport tourism is very competitive. Cities across Canada and around the world are vying for large scale sporting events. Being picked means a significant economic impact on the host city, and helps foster a sense of belonging and togetherness

This year has been quite a challenging one, and considering we are only half way through I can only imagine what is ahead. Maybe it is only positives and high fives but I’m not sure I believe that at the moment!

Sometimes a little thing can mean so much. Take two weeks ago. We watched a very different advertising awards show, COVID-style and streamed live on the internet. We won an award of distinction for a project for the Alberta Construction Safety Association.

We were also happy to see our partner FilmBratz Productions win an ACE Award of Distinction for a Jiffy L**e ad we worked on together.

You can see the winning work here on the blog https://www.themetagency.com/blog/2020/7/20/a-reason-to-celebrate
