Dry brand? I’ll help you put the juice back in it.
I’m Kyle, a brand strategist, creative director and problem solver from Winnipeg, Canada.
A little bit about me
I’ve got a decade of experience in brand & marketing strategy, experiential & events, and partnerships, having worked for and with B2B and B2C brands from a regional to global scale.
With plenty of time on the agency and brand sides of marketing, I’ve worked across many verticals, namely culture, tech, hospitality & tourism, and retail. I’m currently taking on freelance and consulting clients, after years as an entrepreneur, having co-founded Grape Labs – a culture marketing agency – and Surplus Market vintage clothing shop.
More recently, I also served as the Events & Creative Director for the Winnipeg Sea Bears pro basketball team, creating the brand strategy, producing games, and overseeing the creative direction of merchandise.
Outside of work, I’m an avid traveller, health and fitness enthusiast, and lover of food. Phone always eats first, sorry.
