Hate to get certain gifts? DDB Warsaw to the rescue!

When it comes to Christmas, I am a simple man of simple pleasures. I don’t expect any fancy gifts under the tree, since the fancy stuff I want is out of the price range of most of my family and friends.

GJP is closing, and EVERYTHING MUST GO!!!!

Fuck a whimper, GJP is going out with a bang.

After two decades of churning out some of Canada’s most memorable work, Toronto ad agency Gee Jeffery + Partners is apparently shuttering its doors.
