darren sears
BRAND STRATEGIST & WRITER
Darren has emerged as the invisible force behind compelling brands within Canada and the US. That said, he’s not the kind of guy who wastes your time (or his) with a beaker of happy talk. He has helped companies create market separation by implementing strategies that rely heavily on telling and living a story that actually matters to customers.
In his opinion – the power being on-message (powerful words combined with the right visuals) is fueled by three ‘must haves’ – clarity, relevance and a company CEO who is driven to be ‘anything but average’.

taylor spencer
SENIOR GRAPHIC DESIGNER
In every sense, she’s a student of visual communication and problem solver.
Beyond Taylor’s meticulous ‘get it done’ mindset lives a passion for learning that separates her from most. When you need a solution, Taylor’s the one with the spark in her eye that says “I’ll figure it out”. That said, when the whistle blows at 5pm – perhaps her most striking natural attribute is an unspoken determination to do whatever it takes to hit a client deadline.
lex gouzoules
GRAPHIC DESIGNER
The only thing she craves more than a good bowl of soup, is a design challenge she can sink her teeth into.
Beyond Lex’s impressive skillset as a graphic designer and illustrator, one of the greatest assets she brings to the table is her passion for learning and creating. When she requires clarity she’ll ask; when you need her help she’s there. Catch her with a smile on her face and it usually means one of two things – she’s checking items off her ‘to-do’ list – or she’s just received a text from her husband saying that dinner is in the smoker”!
