You & Mr Jones, the “brand tech” firm founded by former Havas CEO David Jones, is continuing its investment and hiring spree. In the two years since it was founded, You & Mr Jones hasn’t slowed down on the deal front. As a private company, Mr. Jones declined to provide financial information. The company doesn’t want to be on an agency roster and would rather be paid on a project-by-project basis, Mr. Jones said, adding that You & Mr Jones tends to find itself more in competition with management consultancies than ad agencies.
