Jeremy Fuksa: Creative Technologist

Jeremy wishes he were an Okie from Muskogee.

Would you look at that? It's Jeremy Fuksa.

Because, as you know, it is the place where even squares can have a ball. Despite this, Jeremy does originally hail from Hennessey, OK, a very small town named after a poor Irish bastard who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Aside from brief stints as a municipal pool lifeguard or fence builder for a pork farming corporation, Jeremy spent his time as a broadcast engineer, director and producer1 at a low-power UHF station before making a portfolio and nosing his way into the advertising industry in 1999. Since then, Jeremy’s work has won multiple local, regional and national ADDY Awards.

Chances are, you’re probably here because of The Cocktail Napkin or The Shakes. You can learn more about those below.

Jeremy has a wonderful family that is incredibly understanding and supporting of all his ADHD-fragmented thinking.

Five years in the making, this animated short was scrapped after realizing that Olsen Twins jokes don't age well (just like them, apparently).

Speaking

An hour with Jeremy is like an hour with the Scared Straight sergeant of creativity.

— A completely made up testimonial

Jeremy strives to educate, entertain and inspire audiences with the talks he gives about creativity. He intends to be challenging. Hopefully some of the things he says will leave audience members feeling a little uncomfortable under their skin. Even more hopefully, that discomfort will be the creative bug nagging at them once it's been jarred awake by dint of something inspirational but not necessarily motivational, as Jeremy does not wish to be Matt Foley.

Some of Jeremy's talks:

Perhaps you'd like Jeremy to speak to your group. That would be swell, and Jeremy would love to come. Why not send an email today and get the ball rolling?

Clear your throat. It's time to speak up.

Now you know what Jeremy's about. What's on your mind? Here's your chance to make your voice heard.

NB: A lot of email flies around the world every day. Rest easy knowing that even if you do not receive a reply, your email will be read.
