Jon Ladd

Owner and Creative MarketingTerminus Tees

Jon is the owner of Terminus Tees, an Atlanta-area screen printing company built on disruptive marketing that has turned the brand into an attention-grabbing machine. With over 20 years in marketing, he wears a hat that looks more like a marketing director than a business owner. Before Terminus, he spent six years touring in a band and cut his teeth in experiential marketing with brands like Pepsi, Energizer, and Frito-Lay.
Those years on the road showed him what a loyal fan base can actually do for a brand. That energy shaped everything he built and lit a fire to help others do the same. As a thought leader and speaker, Jon's goal is to help business owners surface ideas for their company they didn't even know existed and turn them into action.

His consulting work spans:

  • Organizing sales teams
  • Marketing management and operations
  • Revenue operations (RevOps)
  • Community building around brands
  • CRM architecture
  • AI development and implementation
  • Preparation for robotic integration
