Associate Creative Director, Zig Inc. (now defunct)
2007 – Summer 2008
Bossing Juniors and Interns around. Long lunches. Schmoozing the client. Ah, the life of an ACD. In between these activities I was also creating and overseeing advertising for clients like IKEA Canada, Astral Media (CFRB), Molson Canada, Best Buy, The Toronto International Film Festival and Unilever.

Senior Copywriter, Zig Inc.
2004 – 2007
While creating advertising for the above clients with talented partners like Allan Mah and Marketa Krivy, I think I became a better writer/creative by just being in the building during this amazing time at Zig. We were producing smart, different work for our clients and continuing to put Zig on the map with results and accolades.

Copywriter at VO&A (Various Other Agencies)
1995 – 2004
After splitting my first seven years of employment on staff at MacLaren McCann and Cossette, I also tested the freelance waters with stops at Downtown Partners, Ogilvy&Mather and Zig, where I settled into a full-time role. Clients included GM, McDonald’s, Molson, Nike, Nestle, Coca-Cola, General Mills, Bell, Labatt Breweries, Unilever (Lipton, Hellmann’s), Kodak, Bridgestone, RBC, W Network Canada, Chapters, and frankly a bunch that I can’t remember.
