Winchester and Shannon will oversee expansion into the Consumer Package Goods (CPG), Retail, and Printer/Converter markets, using YFYJupiter/JPG’s structural and creative design concepts to develop adaptive designs, final artwork, 3D/CGI packshots, and high resolution prepress/repro (printing plateready) files.

Shannon and Winchester have a combined 60 plus years of experience, serving some of the largest and most successful global CPG and Retail companies.  Their passion for innovation and obsessive focus on client’s needs have helped them achieve industry leading results in a highly evolving packaging market.

In today’s demanding online and traditional retail environments Winchester states, “The world’s largest brands are looking for a more simplistic workflow which provides faster turnaround, lower costs, and an integrated solution for content creation to support the explosive growth in eCommerce.  YFYJupiter/JPG has both the resources and the vision to disrupt today’s traditional design to print model.”

Shannon, who spent his career designing and deploying new business models for two of the world’s largest graphic service companies, states “We will leverage the depth of resource, expertise and skill set which already exists within JPG alongside innovative technology and new ways of working to provide a more flexible, cost effective model that we know will appeal to our target clients.  Marriott and I have been an effective team in the past, and we are anxious to work with our YFYJupiter/JPG colleagues to redefine the packaging graphics industry.”

Mark White, JPG Managing Director states “Marriott and Mike are respected industry leaders with a wealth of knowledge and experience within the packaging graphics industry. We are truly excited to have them join our senior leadership team and become the driving force behind our ambitious expansion plans in North America.”

“Marriott and Mike are global players, with experience building and leading profitable growth” states Mitch Crews, CEO YFYJupiter.  “Their combination of expertise, passion, and a commitment to excellence will set us apart from our competitors.”
