Ad- Grow My Agency

Addie Gillespie + Mia ThomsettAs we mentioned last week, when you have that winning combination in business – stick with it.  That’s exactly what DARE Vancouver has done as they have hired the award-winning duo Addie Gillespie and Mia Thomsett as the agency’s newest Creative Directors.

The pair will lead creative teams across the agency’s portfolio of clients, including BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, BCLC, Destination BC, Manitoba Telecom Services (MTS), McDonald’s USA and Vancouver Art Gallery.

Addie and Mia joined DARE Vancouver two years ago and have since produced award-winning work for clients such as MTS, John Frieda, BC Children’s Hospital Foundation and Whistler Film Festival. They have consistently ranked among the top creatives in Canada in recent years, and between them they have collected accolades at various award shows across North America.
