About me
Mavis is responsible for steering the integration of production across our clients for digital, broadcast and print advertising. She inspires us and our clients to embrace change and use emerging technologies to create better relationships with consumers. Mavis has spoken at digital forums like NXNE, DX3 and HPX, and her work has received awards at global shows like TED, SXSW, IAB, and the Webbys. She sits on the ICA Interactive council and helped renegotiate the collective bargaining agreement with ACTRA. Mavis dreams of opening a Halifax office so she can get back to her niece and nephew before they stop thinking she’s cool. Mavis blogs incessantly at www.theblogofjohn.com.
