About JKT Media

From the desk of Jerry Travers, President, JKT Media

JKT Media is a direct result of the over 35 incredibly exciting and fullfilling years that I've spent in the media business. It's a manifestation of my personal commitment to provide each client with the highest quality visual communications possible.

It's spanned everything from the first year of PBS's Wall Street Week and 40-foot video trucks... to laser disks and MPEG clips for multimedia CD-ROMs and kiosks... to Shockwave, Flash and streamed webcasts over the Internet.

During this time, I've worked for public and commercial broadcasting companies, public relations firms, a local cable company and a major telecommunications company. I've produced and directed live and tape video programs, developed and programmed a breakthrough video channel for a major trade show, and participated in the birth of interactive multimedia television.  And throughout this time, I've also honed my skills as an analog and digital video editor, a broadcast and computer graphics artist, a scriptwriter, a webmaster and a multimedia programmer. It's been one hell of a ride!

What I've learned over this time span, is that no matter how the technology changes, the basics of effective visual communications don't change. You still need effective analysis of client needs, creative design, cost-effective solutions and tight project management. These are skills that develop over time, that are the hard-won benefits that comes from "paying your dues".

What I've also learned is the critical importance of connecting the right team to the right project.

JKT Media is an association of creative individuals that I've discovered, over time and in many a tight situation, who truly are the 'right" team. We work synergisticly - each bringing excellence in his or her core competency to the team - where it merges to create visual communications "magic". This may sound like doubletalk or hype, but it isn't. It takes a long time to find the right mix of skills and personalities; the mix that allows us to guarantee that the job gets done in a way that not only meets a client's requirements but exceeds them.

I look forward to putting our skills to work on your communications needs.
