FUSE Create

August 2018 - present

I joined FUSE Create as a senior writer in 2018, and was promoted to Associate Creative Director in the fall of 2021. I act as a creative lead on CIBC, our biggest client, and also work on and oversee projects for clients like Proximo, Maple Leaf Foods, and AIR MILES. I’ve been instrumental in winning a number of pitches, as well as some of the awards that helped us win Strategy’s #3 Small Agency of the Year in 2021.
