In 2005 Jaime Candy was concocted out of a clear need for humanity. We at Jaime Candy like to believe that instead of a ‘dog eat dog’ world, we can have our cake and eat candy too.
Part urban legend, part myth, Jaime Candy belongs to the smallest margin of companies that believe that the human being should be always at the center of any business, management and marketing strategy. The solution is more obvious than magical. Commonsense usually rules over theoretical models and complex solutions.
During 2007-2008 the company and the main focus shifted towards business innovation and business and project management with an increasingly stronger marketing and creativity dimensions.
So here we are in 2010. We are organically growing and new partnerships are emerging. Over the years Jaime Candy developed a hands-on approach to deliver a suite of performance improvement, turnaround management and business advisory marketing and technology services. With the present economic recession our group offers critical assistance to companies in need of optimizing their business model and to find innovative strategic marketing solutions.
All good things have an end. This is not it.
Octavian Mihai, 2007-9, Montreal
