Take off, eh.
I was lucky enough to be a part of Team Molson at Bensimon Byrne during what was arguably the heyday of Canadian beer advertising. Much fun was had, and much great work was done. Here are a few beer samples.

​​Historically, Hyundai hasn't been the most viscerally appealing automotive brand. At Bensimon Byrne, I spent four and a half years as the Creative Director on the Hyundai account, overseeing everything from brand to online to retail advertising. During that time, Hyundai became a hugely successful and respected brand in Canada, due in large part to its advertising. Going from a vehicle you'd be embarrassed to drive to a car you'd be proud to have in your driveway is no small feat. That's what moving the needle is all about.

You had it, Pontiac.
Pontiac is a now-defunct brand, but not for lack of marketing effort in Canada. Let's be honest, though: if your tagline is "Built For Drivers", the cars need to live up to the hype. They didn't unfortunately, but at least the ads performed well.
