JHS Digital Consulting Joins Chameleon Collective

Last fall, I dove into a journey back to my technology consulting roots by starting JHS Digital Consulting. It was more than a business launch; it was a drive to get 'back into the work', with a mission to enable companies to be more successful at executing digital transformations and building successful partnerships with the agencies that serve them. Today, I'm thrilled to share that JHS Digital Consulting has taken a significant leap forward by becoming a part of the Chameleon Collective.

This journey to the Collective started at the inception of JHS Digital Consulting. With a career spent in the agency world, I understood the intricacies and flaws of the industry. I saw brilliant consultants sidetracked from impactful work by the corporate climb, and clients that often lacked the necessary in-house leadership to effectively manage agency relationships, making trust and transparency elusive goals.

There Has to Be a Better Way

Convinced there was a better model out there—one that could keep experts at the helm of what they do best and dissolve the barriers to trust—I began imagining a new approach. As I thought more and more about the model, the biggest challenge was how to scale. In search of an answer, I reconnected with an old colleague and friend of mine from my days at Sapient, Freddie Laker. I had heard that Freddie has started something different with the Chameleon Collective and wanted to pick his brain. As Freddie and I talked, I realized that Freddie had been on the same journey I was on and been working on the same concept.   

The Lightbulb Went Off

When I learned that the mission of the Collective was nearly identical to the mission I had for JHS Digital, a lightbulb went off in my head and my strategy was obvious. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I realized I just needed to just hitch a ride on the tire that Freddie and the Chameleon Collective already had rolling. Joining the Collective would instantly allow me to skip past building the operational plumbing of a business and instantly allow me to collaborate and team up with expert consultants like myself from complementary disciplines like Branding, Marketing, Customer Experience, Commerce and Sales to offer a greater breadth of expertise to clients looking to transform their businesses in those areas.

Creating Success that Sticks so that When You're Good We're Gone

Today by becoming a part of the Collective, we're not only expanding our capabilities but also reinforcing our commitment to delivering genuine and enduring value to our clients. The Chameleon Collective's commitment to 'under-stay our welcome' is a testament to our approach. We're here to deliver impact, empower your team with new strategies and tools, and then confidently step aside as you continue on your journey of growth. To quote Freddie, “When you're good, we’re gone”.

So if you find yourselves searching for a missing link in Branding, Marketing, Customer Experience, Commerce, or Sales, reach out and let’s discuss how we can help you transform from within and create “Success that Sticks”.
