WE MAKE INTERESTING THINGS
WE MAKE THINGS INTERESTING
Jetpack Creative Industries is a Western Canadian creative studio owned and operated by writer and creative director Anders J. Svensson. After spending the first half of his career freelancing for agencies while working in-house at tech companies, he launched Jetpack as a full-time venture in the summer of 2015.
To promote the studio, Anders created a citywide puzzle game called Treasure League and let former coworkers know that Jetpack was available for hire.
The game was featured in Calgary’s Avenue Magazine and on CBC’s The Eyeopener. By the time the first treasure chest was hidden, more than 1,000 players hit the ground running (sometimes with shovels and metal detectors). At the home office, emails about writing projects poured in.
A decade later, Jetpack has worked with hundreds of brands in dozens of industries — collecting experience that benefits every new arrival on our client list.
Meanwhile, the citywide puzzle game has evolved into a growing catalogue of games that are licensed by venues to fundraise for good causes like literacy programming and wildlife conservation. Locked Library and Locked Zoo have become staples of Calgary’s entertainment calendar and have been hosted in 20 other cities.
Today, Jetpack is powered by enthusiasm and optimism. And although we believe robots are exciting toys with the potential to be tools, we believe that human-powered creativity will endure as the best way to entertain and educate, appeal to customers, and share good ideas.

WHAT WE DO + WHAT WE'VE DONE +
We work with clients big and small, near and far.
-
Jetpack is a creative studio that understands business — because we’ve worked at big businesses. We also take your timelines and budgets seriously — because we’ve managed those in the past too.
If you’re a marketing or creative team lead at a large business who needs a reliable contractor on call — with the convenience of hourly billing and fast turnarounds — we’d love to meet you.
-
There’s a stage in every company’s growth where you have the option to transition from DIY marketing and advertising to hiring someone full-time or outsourcing to an agency.
Jetpack presents a third option — working directly with a writer to get the headlines, content, and scripts you need to elevate your brand, without the costs of a new salary or a full external team.
-
If you’re a design studio staffed entirely by graphic designers and illustrators, we know it isn’t practical to employ a full-time in-house writer.
But… we also know that sometimes the client asks for writing, or they might be struggling to write the content themselves.
When that happens, you’re welcome to contact us or to recommend hiring Jetpack as a way to accelerate the project.
-
If you don’t have an in-house writer, you’re short-staffed — or your one copywriter is currently regenerating poolside at a far-flung resort — Anders is always happy to fill in.
As a senior copywriter, he frequently guests on projects at agencies (big and small) and can be trusted to tackle content, campaigns, and ideation with quick turnaround.
-
Are you a busy non-profit or charitable organization with ongoing writing needs — or maybe a fundraising campaign in the works?
We’ve worked with organizations of all sizes — from local literacy programs to large children’s hospitals — and it would be a pleasure to pitch in on your projects.
-
After more than a decade working at tech start-ups, we understand the struggle, the fast pace, and how investing in a few good marketing pieces early on can take you far.
If you need team bios, web content, video scripts, or pitch decks — we can help you make the right impression.
-
Are you a designer, web dev, or content strategist who wants to outsource just the copywriting or screenwriting portion of a client project? Tag us in and we’ll deliver.
If you’d just like to introduce yourself in case we can return that favour, feel free to let us know what you do and where we can see your work.
