THE EVOLUTION

LJC is Luke Jensen & Company, and Luke Jensen started working in the entertainment industry in Stevens Point, Wisconsin in the spring of 1999 at the age of 17, with the focus of managing a vocal band, Last Call, in which he was also a member.  After only two years the group broke out of the Midwest and moved towards national exposure, signing with multiple reputable national talent agencies in 2001. 

For the next three years the group pushed across the nation touring in over 35 states, recording multiple albums in various cities in top-notch studios with some of the best producers and engineers, while performing hundreds of shows at a variety of corporate, private, college, fair, and festival events per year.  At this point, the group had gained national recognition, and was picked up by an independent label and production company out of NYC.  Luke moved to NYC in the fall of 2003 to work more closely with the production company and management of the project, and while not recording or touring, worked in midtown Manhattan. 

Mean while, while traveling the country for business related to the band, Luke pursued all other opportunties that came his way, including; modeling, fashion, film, and nightlife & hospitality industry related jobs, experiences, and connections.  After years of living, working, touring, and recording in some of the nations biggest cities such as NYC, Las Vegas, Orlando, Milwaukee, and Chicago, Luke experienced, met, and worked with thousands of different contacts, companies, and people of all ages and expertise across the entertainment industry. 

At the end of 2004, while working on a major record distribution deal and over seas tours, the group Last Call separated due to legal conflicts with their production company.  Luke moved back to Wisconsin, and developed a plan to put the experience and contacts he had gained to the test, and take the company to the next level.

After a few visits In the summer of 2005, Luke found an opportunity to relocate to downtown Chicago.  He immediately got connected in the Chicago entertainment industry, and moved onward as a separate entity with a vision of creating a company that could circumference all the services, industries, and ideals that he had gained from his experiences over the past 6 years, into one company that will help its clients get connected with people and services that will enable them to succeed independently.  Since 2005, Luke has turned this vision into a reality, called LJC. 

One of LJC's most valuable assets continues to be its network of contacts and resources.  With experiences in marketing and management around the United States from 1999 to the present, LJC has gained the ability to understand how to help its clients achieve their goals by connecting them with the services they need that help them move their business forward.  

Since the summer of 2005, Chicago is now LJC's home.  With the goal of maintaining honesty, integrity, and class, LJC remains strong and continues to grow and define itself as a versatile and unique company, connected to a valuable network and continuously enhancing its offerings.

In the short term, through face-to-face networking, events, and print and web marketing, LJC will enhance its network by strengthening existing bonds and building new ones.  In the long term, LJC will position itself to become a cross-industry provider of unique services & events.  LJC continues to provide marketing and event services, started a talent booking and management division in late 2008, and in 2009 launched two of it's proprietary products, Beauty and the Bottle, and LJCONNECT.  As the company's experience grows, so will its offerings, services, partnerships, products, and events.
