about us
“Jesters do oft prove prophets.” — William Shakespeare

We help you tell a better story.

In the digital world, 20 years is a lifetime. When Jennifer Cartier and Susan Murphy founded Jester in 2003, blogging was in its infancy and Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram didn’t exist. Jen and Sue combined their experience in television production, marketing, design and interactive multimedia (as it was known at the time), and Jester became one of the first full-service digital creative agencies in Ottawa, Canada.
Every Jester client has a unique story to tell. We'll collaborate with you to bring your stories to life.
