Advisory Committee

Susan Jarema: B.Comm, MBA

I live, breath and dream about creative ways to affordably market ethical products and services. I’ve been in marketing, sales, entrepreneurship and project management for over 20 years - gosh I hope that does not give away my age! I love helping my clients to grow their business and to save money. Over the years, I have become disappointed with the marketing and advertising industry’s approach to persuading consumption. I now want to use my skills to help promote products, services and issues that will help create a better world.

Susan brings to New Earth Marketing a wealth of knowledge in the toy, book, giftware, media, publishing, fundraising and educational industries. Her diverse experience in direct sales, b2b campaigns, promotions, digital products and online marketing, along with her creativity are a great asset for helping clients achieve their goals.

Early on in her career, she worked in the print and radio advertising industry. In 1991, Susan co-founded As You Like International Shopping Service Ltd., one of the first “Fair Trade” organizations to help village cooperatives in developing countries market and sell their sustainable crafts in North America.

Susan completed a marketing degree at the University of Manitoba and her Master’s in Business Administration at Simon Fraser University. She spent several years teaching business classes at Simon Fraser University and Douglas College and held various marketing and advisory positions for the Douglas College Self-Employment Program.

After having children, Susan founded Googol Learning. In this capacity, she produced the award-winning Googol Power Math Series and built several high traffic websites to promote family learning and media awareness.

Her goal now is to help other entrepreneurs succeed with their dreams and to promote socially responsible business practices.

Anthony de Demko: BA Honours, BTV3 (SABC Producer/Director) 

Anthony de Demko“It was my fascination for the world and its people that led me into a career that continues to excite and intrigue me.  I have developed creative solutions for small and large businesses and media organizations.  I am truly fortunate to live in an age where the evolving media landscape presents ever new playgrounds for my creativity.  As an international television producer, I learned to disseminate messages on a global scale and over the past 20 years I have been committed to enhancing my media skills across a variety of platforms. It was my role as a single Dad that brought me to work as a publisher of a local community paper and this developed my expertise in local marketing solutions.  My extensive roots in Democracy, and social education led me to strive to contribute to a positive world where peoples and nature reside together in an increasingly harmonious space.”

Anthony de Demko is a consummate media professional with a thorough grounding in publishing, advertising, media sales and television production.  His work is broadcast in major markets around the globe. Some of his work includes Iceberg Cowboys (Discovery International), Strange Medicine (Discovery International), when Fun Turns to Fear (TLC), Making it Big (Oxygen, Global, Life), Weird Weddings (Life).  He has also produced locally for CTV and CBC. The Demise and Revival of the Huntkomeenum Language (CTV/APTN) is one example of this work. Projects specifically designed to promote intercultural and interfaith awareness in multicultural societies, have been a particular field of interest. While producing Life Ceremonies (SABC), a seven part documentary series, he was fortunate to spend two years under the guidance of  leading social anthropology professor  W.D. Hammond -Tooke.  His docudrama work for South Africa’s Democratic Education Broadcast Initiative is credited as being some of the most innovative. His strong journalistic instincts are evidenced by dozens of prime time news features and documentaries. Many of these deal with matters of moral and social concern in a society undergoing massive political, social and cultural transformation. He also established and led the Reuters television Bureau in Kwazulu/ Natal Province during the historic 1994 South African elections. His advanced producing, writing, graphics and directing skills, aligned with a sound working knowledge of cross media processes means that he readily translates ideas and readies them for dissemination. His appointment as creative director is part of New Earth Marketing’s strategy to effectively deliver transmedia products.
