"We've been using the services of The JLS Agency for a number of advertising, marketing and PR assignments the last several years and they have won a number of prestigious awards relating to their media efforts,"
- Lance Shaner,
CEO
Shaner Hotels,

Services provided: The JLS Agency worked with Shaner to develop a new brand identity for the hotel ownership and management group. This rebranding effort began with a redesigned logo, which served as a design beacon for the rest of the effort, including a print advertising campaign. On the publishing end of things, the JLS team wrote and designed a new Shaner corporate brochure and corporate publication. The JLS interactive team programmed and designed a new website, while a national public relations campaign was launched announcing the rebranding.

Services provided: In April of 2009, the management of The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina approached The JLS Agency about producing a television commercial campaign targeting the property's diverse target demographic. JLS ended up creating two spots for the property, each targeting a specific audience. One spot, featuring a younger couple enjoying the destination property, was meant to position the hotel as a resort of choice among a younger demographic (ages 18-34). The second spot won a platinum Ava award and targeted older, more affluent customers, ages 35+ (the property's core target market).
