DAVE PIGEON
FREELANCE SR. COPYWRITER // CREATIVE DIRECTOR
For over 15 years I've established myself as one of the nicest guys in advertising. I've also established a pretty solid body of work along the way for great brands like New Balance, Sapporo, TD and Lexus.
As a copywriter I've received some humbling recognition both here at home and abroad.
As a creative director I've rebranded several big Canadian institutions, played an integral role in a bunch of new-business wins, and mentored a whack of talented young creatives (my favourite part of the job).
Not one to shy away from a good cliché, I'm also an aspiring screenwriter.
And I like putting dumb headlines on t-shirts.
HERE'S A LOOK AT SOME OF MY WORK.
