Big news: Our very own Amy Van Ert is The Lacek Group's new group executive creative director. Amy steps into the role as John Jarvis retires, capping a career that helped define what creative excellence looks like here.

A 20-year Lacek veteran, Amy has led creative for clients as varied as U.S. Bank, Dunkin', Verizon, Ameriprise Financial, American Family Insurance, and Copa Airlines. She's also guided the team behind our largest account, Marriott Bonvoy, one of the most respected and awarded loyalty programs in the world.

Ask anyone here and you'll hear the same thing: Amy brings an infectious, can-do energy to every day, taking on business challenges with grit, kindness, and humor.

Over the last 17 years, John and Amy bridged data-driven loyalty and high-impact brand storytelling, elevating Lacek’s creative output to win national recognition and help land major global clients.

Congratulations, Amy. And thank you, John. We can't wait for the next chapter to unfold.

After 17 remarkable years, Chief Creative Officer John Jarvis is retiring on August 3, and it’s hard to overstate what he’s meant to this agency.

Since joining The Lacek Group in 2009, John has been instrumental in helping us double in size and attract a wide range of global clients looking to elevate their loyalty programs. Drawing on decades in the industry, his creative leadership shaped not just our work, but also our culture.

His influence reaches well beyond Lacek—from chairing the Super Bowl LII Marketing Committee to teaching the next generation of advertising talent in the Twin Cities.

John, on behalf of everyone at Lacek: Thank you.

Your vision, mentorship, and dedication leave an indelible mark on this agency and on all of us who’ve had the privilege of working alongside you. We wish you a happy retirement filled with well-deserved relaxation, new adventures, and plenty of time to finally perfect your backhand.

According to John, "Only retirement could tear me away from my brilliant colleagues doing best-in-class work in loyalty, CRM, and data-driven strategy and communications."

Cheers (with a Diet Coke) to you, John!

48 teams. 104 matches. 16 host cities. Beyond a global spectacle, this year’s tournament is a cultural gateway.

As of late June, the tourney had already drawn 3.45M+ fans with stadiums at 99.54% capacity. That's the power of potential at scale.

It’s about so much more than a match. It's about giving fans more to discover.

International visitors trying poutine and ranch dressing for the first time. Fans bringing their local traditions to life in new cities. Rivals on the pitch becoming fast friends in the streets.

The tournament is giving fans more to cheer for this summer — all boosted with official fan festivals and the host-city ecosystem around the tournament and online. That’s what elevates it from an international competition into something more that fans can feel, learn from, and take home with them.

That’s what Brand Devotion looks like when a brand helps people expand their world.

Free Slurpee®? Late-night snack runs? The oddly satisfying smell when you walk through the door?

There's no singular reason 7-Eleven customers are so loyal. For millions of people, it's more than a convenience store. It's a bright spot in their daily routine. Whether you're grabbing a coffee before work, a taquito at midnight, or celebrating with a free Slurpee on 7/11, the brand has earned a special place in the culture that goes beyond transactional.

Swipe to see what 7-ELEVEN gets right when it comes to Brand Devotion.

Today, we recognize Juneteenth, a day that stands as a powerful testament to the triumph of freedom, resilience, and community.

Juneteenth honors June 19, 1865, the historic day when the Emancipation Proclamation was finally enforced in Galveston, Texas, liberating the last remaining enslaved individuals in the United States. Preserved through generations of community celebrations since 1866 and officially recognized as a federal holiday in 2021, this day reminds us of the profound strength and perseverance required to secure basic human rights.

In honor of today's celebration of freedom, our team is supporting economic empowerment by ordering a cookout-style lunch from a local Black-owned business.Supporting Black-owned enterprises is a vital part of fostering a more inclusive and equitable economy.

Wishing everyone a meaningful, reflective, and joyful Juneteenth!
