2010 Future Star Award:
Jordan Case, Art Director, Eric Mower and Associates
Mom calls her Sweet Pea. Dad knows her as Princess.
And her Internet Stalker continues to refer to her as
mylovepants@gmail.com. Jordan Case is known to
others as Jordi, Jordo, Jordania, Jordache, JC, Peanut,
or perhaps, That Bitch Who Made Me Cry. Call her what
you will, but girl’s a future star.
Originally from the land of Rochester, Jordan moved
to Fredonia for college. (Close to home, yet just far
enough away from the parental units and a couple
of outstanding warrants.) After graduating from
SuNY Fredonia with a BFA in Graphic Design with
concentrations in French and Running on No Sleep, she
settled down in Buffalo to begin her career as a designologist.
Things kicked off with the proven trifecta of:
internship at Travers Collins & Company, part-time gig
at Metro Community News and full-time job at Dick’s
Sporting Goods.
After realizing what she was getting herself into, Jordan
decided to stick with the advertising thing and went on
to become an Art Director at Stand Advertising. During
her time there, she was mentored by some of the best
in the business (and also Mike Telesco), working on
accounts such as Fairgrounds Gaming & Raceway,
Greatbatch, Gloria J. Parks Community Center, Rich
Products and ECMC. Currently an Art Director at Eric
Mower and Associates, her main clients now include
ECMC, Lactalis Deli, Mead, Transitions and Buffalo
Urban League.
Jordan has led the internship programs at Stand and
now at EMA, where she’s probably training the next
future star (or five of them) in a tear-jerking example
of the circle of life. She has also been an active
member of AIGA, WNY Book Arts Collaborative, and
she just recently joined the board for the Advertising
Club of Buffalo.
Aside from being passionate about design, advertising
and all things screen-printed or Bauhaus, Jordan also
enjoys long walks on the beach, sunsets and puppy
dogs. And though she’s never had a real Buffalo chicken
wing, she’s looking forward to parlaying her unclogged
arteries into many years of living and working here in
the B-Lo. |
