Hey you.
I’m Josh, a Toronto-based copywriter with eight years of agency experience.
I’ve had the pleasure of learning from and collaborating with some of the sharpest minds in advertising at Zulu Alpha Kilo, Saatchi & Saatchi and Innocean.
Throughout my journey in this business I’ve had the opportunity to cut my teeth on a diverse range of clients across automotive, packaged goods, social justice, and hospitality - including Toyota, Hyundai, TaylorMade, Triscuit, Tim Hortons, Quesada, The Canadian Centre for Gender & Sexual Diversity, American Express, Harley Davidson, Bell, HomEquity Bank, Nikon, and ParticipACTION.
Fun facts:
Born & bred in Winnipeg - the crown jewel of the prairies.
Learned how to play the organ and piano just so I can say “tickle the ivories” and mean it.
Used to work on a resort in Mexico. Many guests thought I spoke exquisite English.
Graduated from Vancouver Film School’s Writing for Film & Television program.
Worked as a story editor for five years.
Was a travel agent for two years. Which - yes - is still a thing. Don’t want that “work trip” with your “co-worker” to show up on your credit card statement? Flight Centre Dufferin Mall takes cash. We got you.
Was deeply involved at the Manitoba Theatre for Young People for 10 years, and at the Prairie Theatre Exchange for two years.
Loves heritage movie theatres and small concert venues.
Obsessed with the NBA and Formula 1.
Been doing fantasy basketball every year since 2002. Has only won a championship twice.
Firm believer that the best sandwich of all time is tuna.
Was once in a band called Stool Sample. We did covers.
