You came to us at a very interesting time for our firm. You may have come looking for Ryan Edwards Communications or Social Lab, but you’re ending up with JAW Advertising. There’s a story behind that.

Here’s the short version: David Jones started Social Lab in 2014. One of his clients was an ad agency called Ryan Edwards. They worked together for a few years with David adding digital and social capabilities for Ryan Edwards clients. In January 2016, the founder of Ryan Edwards decided to retire and left the business in the capable hands of David Jones and Doug Walker. Since neither of them were named Ryan or Edwards and social was rapidly becoming a part of an integrated offering, they figured a cool new name was required to capture the kind of work the firm was doing. JAW Advertising was born! So for now, we’re a little bit Social Lab, a little bit Ryan Edwards and a whole lot of JAW Advertising, even though it’s really all one firm. Enough about our origin story, you want to know about us and what we’ve done that makes us the right partner for you.

Ontario Real Estate Association

Realtor Value

As housing prices rise throughout Ontario, so have the dollar amounts paid to Realtors as these homes change hands. So it is no surprise that home buyers and sellers may question whether using a Realtor makes sense when buying our selling their home. Our task was to show the value that Realtors bring to the home buying and selling experience.
