We, at Jajo, found ourselves traversing that parallel universe this past spring. We responded to a new business opportunity that indicated the client would provide the copywriting for the project.

Once upon a time, Jajo had a friend called Numana. They liked sharing playdates, dreams and imagination. They had many good times together, sipping diet sodas and chatting about what they’d be a few years down the road.
