Jayme Headquarters, a new creative agency in the Philippines, has been founded by Merlee Jayme, a globally recognized leader in the creative industry. Jayme, who was the former Chief Creative Officer at Dentsu Asia Pacific and the founder of the award-winning DM9 Jayme Syfu, is now on a mission to create an inclusive environment for all creative minds. Her agency is built on the belief that the more diverse the ideas, the more innovative the work.
Jayme HQ is deeply committed to promoting neurodiversity in the creative sector. This means they actively seek and support talent from underrepresented communities, including neurodivergent individuals and those with hearing impairments. This commitment goes hand-in-hand with Jayme’s earlier work with The Misfits Camp, a training center aimed at upskilling neurodivergent and deaf individuals. The goal is to give these talented individuals the opportunity to contribute their unique skills in a real creative workplace.
In a powerful move, Jayme HQ has already hired its first neurodiverse team, including Cesca Atienza, a graphic artist with autism, and Kylie Milanes, a poet and author. Both Cesca and Kylie are graduates of The Misfits Camp, and they’re bringing fresh perspectives to the agency.
Joining Jayme in this exciting venture are industry veterans like Edg Samson, the Chief Client Officer, and Nikki Golez, an award-winning creative director. Other experienced professionals like JR Ignacio (digital and innovation expert), Kheng Masangkay (finance manager), and Alex Cataluña (art director) complete the team. These co-founders are personally connected to neurodiversity, bringing even more value to the agency’s mission.
The new agency has a unique approach to creativity. It encourages diverse thinking, with an emphasis on empowering neurodiverse talent. The work produced is not only innovative but also contributes to a more inclusive and welcoming creative industry.
Jayme HQ is more than just an agency; it’s a movement aiming to redefine creativity and offer opportunities to those who have often been overlooked. With a commitment to diversity, inclusion, and innovation, Jayme Headquarters is poised to become a leader in the creative space.
