ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Erin Kawalecki is Partner & Chief Creative Officer at Angry Butterfly.
Erin was described by her first boss as ‘overly opinionated’. Since then, she has created work that’s been internationally awarded for both creativity and effectiveness – traits she firmly believes are not mutually exclusive (there goes another opinion).
She started an agency with her two partners in the summer of 2020, and feels incredibly lucky to work alongside such talented, curious, and kind people. The last few years at Angry Butterfly have been the most fulfilling, challenging, and exciting time in her nearly 20-year career.
She has been recognized at Cannes, The One Show, Marketing, Communication Arts, The Effies, and by Ad Age for creating one of the top ‘viral’ campaigns in the world.

Luc talks about his “Mad Men” roots and why advertising and design in Quebec are so unique. Plus, he shares how work for the government can get you on the international stage. C’est malade!
ABOUT OUR GUEST:
In 2004, Luc and his friends founded the Quebec City office of LG2. Since then, they've created a fun place to find great ideas. Luc has led his teams on many projects recognized on the national and international scene like Cannes, D&AD, London Internationals, One Show and Clios. I've also been lucky enough to sit on numerous amazing juries including Cannes, One Show and Clios.
Luc fell in love with creativity at 4 years old, when his dad brought home a storyboard for a TV spot. That passion continued to grow at Cossette where he worked on General motors, pharma accounts and McDonald’s. Now, Luc leads a group of many different talents who are brilliantly solving all sorts of problems for the Société de l'assurance automobile du Quebec, CAA, Beneva, Familiprix, Canac hardware, the Quebec government and the Quebec dairy board.
Luc has always been proud to contribute to the success of LG2, which is now the largest independent agency in Canada.
But more importantly, he will continue to create the way he always has - with the heart of a 4-year-old.

Derek unpacks the Missing Matoaka project, and the true story of Pocahontas. He very candidly speaks about his family and his connection to the work as an Indigenous Canadian.
SEE THE WORK:
Missing Matoaka
ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Derek Blais has been solving problems using creativity from a young age. Having attended a high school bearing Marshall McLuhan’s name, Derek became immersed in media theory, technology and all things Adobe. After starting his own company in high school and entering the ad world as a developer, Derek worked his way up, becoming the #1 Art Director in Canada along the way and regardless of having never attended university, gave a TEDx talk on creativity and collaboration at one.
His human-centric approach to the work and creative leadership are lauded by both his colleagues and his clients, with his work and the work of his teams having been recognized at every major national and international award show. His most recent project ‘Missing Matoaka’ was the most awarded Canadian campaign in Cannes this year and the most awarded Canadian campaign ever at The One Show with 16 pencils and two Grand Prix – making Derek the #1 ECD at The One Show.
He shares the same Forbes 30 Under 30 list as fellow Torontonian Drake and as a proud member of Oneida Nation of the Thames, he’s been calling this land home since time immemorial. Outside of advertising, Derek’s photography has been featured at Art Basel, his music videos have been recognized in Cannes and his most recent creative project, a seasonal restaurant on Georgian Bay landed him on the cover of Cottage Life magazine.
He's currently Chief Creative Officer at Lifelong Crush – Broken Heart Love Affair’s sister agency.

Francesco (Fran, if you’re buds) on his ascension from lowly intern at Ogilvy to the CCO throne. Plus, the Dove campaigns he’s worked on for the last 2 decades.
ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Francesco is an internationally-recognized, Emmy nominated, Chief Creative Officer of Ogilvy Canada where he leads the Toronto and Montreal office. He is Ogilvy’s highest ranked CCO in the world.
Prior to his current role, he has worked his way across the globe from Chicago, Toronto, Amsterdam, London, and back to Toronto.
He has led some of the most iconic brands in the world, such as Netflix, Guinness, Uber, Samsung and Dove, where his back-to-back “Toxic Influence” and “Cost of Beauty” campaigns both became the most shared and most awarded in the brand’s history. This catapulted Dove to 2nd at the Cannes Lions Brand of the Year rankings, and Unilever as coveted Creative Marketer of the Year.
He has led Ogilvy Canada to their most awarded year in the agency’s 64-year history, doing the best work on their biggest brands.
He has helped spur a 75% conversion rate on new business, winning the H&R Block, Go Train, Up Express, Clif Bar, Mitsubishi, Young Drivers and Samsung Global accounts.
He believes being an “outsider” is a creative’s greatest superpower, which is why he loves to fill his creative department with talent from all over the world. This diversity of backgrounds, cultures, and thinking leads to more unexpected ideas.
Francesco has won over 350 awards, including back-to-back Cannes Gold Lions, a D&AD Collaborative Black Pencil, and multiple Grand Prix and Gold at every major show, including The One Show, Clios, LIA’s, Eurobest, Effies, Andy’s, Communication Arts and ADCC’s.
