Travis Cowdy
Founder and Chief Creative Officer

With 20 years of experience as a creative director, art director and designer on both agency and the client sides, his attention to detail, passion for building brands, and relentless pursuit of creativity has made him one of Canada’s top Creative Directors. A strong belief in human-centric design thinking to drive business, Travis’ career spans over twenty years of blood sweat and tears (mostly his own).

A foundation in design and branding early in his career prepared Travis for the next years of his advertising career where he has worked on a number of global brands such as Toyota / Lexus, Clorox, Sleeman / Sapporo, Subway, Virgin Mobile and Target. He has been internationally recognized for best in class creative work and effectiveness at shows like D&AD, The One Show and Cannes. 

He has a unique ability to pull from both client and agency learnings to create long-lasting brand work, such as the “It’s Better To Be A Member” platform he developed in-house at Virgin Mobile in 2008 that still lives to this day.
