Carol knows that to be seen in a crowded market, a brand has to sing out loud and proud. And with a varied resume in the fields of PR, advertising and entertainment, she is the perfect person to help them achieve this.

A graduate of the Bachelor of Public Relations program at Mount St. Vincent University, Carol worked for four years at Revolve in a number of roles – from Account Executive to Copywriter – before taking on Communications Manager positions at several not for profit organizations. She then pursued work as a Freelance Brand Consultant, weaving her knowledge of business with her love of branding, and is now back at Revolve as a Brand Consultant.

In fact, Carol’s love of creative expression extends into her other passion – her cocktail band Tom Collins. As lead singer, Carol crafted her band’s brand identity and message, resulting in a unique experience that is in high demand across Nova Scotia. Tom Collins has played at many corporate events, including The Festival of Trees and The Nova Scotia Hearing and Speech Foundation’s Monte Carlo Night.

And experienced she is. After graduating from college in Lethbridge, Alberta with a certificate in Business Administration, Cathy did a turn at the Alberta Treasury Branch, followed by some time at Canada Trust, then moved on to the Federal Government, and capped all that off by spending 10 years at Acadia University where her latest position was Executive Assistant to the President. Oh, and she’s a busy wife and mother of two. We’re confident our executives are in excellent hands.

Cathy spent her childhood on the family grain farm in southern Saskatchewan and despite having lived in Nova Scotia since 1989, she is still what some would call a stubble jumper at heart. You need look no further for evidence than to put her on a boat, plane or winding Nova Scotia road without Gravol. You can take the girl out of the prairie… Cathy lives in Falmouth with her husband Kim and their two daughters, Kate and Kyla.

Here to whip Revolve into shape as Manager of Projects and Resource Operations, Cheryl has always been on the go. Over the past 20 years, she’s crisscrossed Canada, working at agencies like Collier & Park Group, Lashbrook Advertising, Target and Bristol. A jack-of-all-trades, Cheryl has worked as a receptionist, account receiver, studio coordinator, production manager and project manager. No one knows the ins and outs of an agency like Cheryl. When she’s not at Revolve, Cheryl is still taking on new and exciting opportunities at every turn. For her next project, she’s planning on building an authentic timber frame cabin. But Cheryl also likes to slow down and spend time tending to her garden. She’s mastered flowers and is hoping to expand into vegetables next.

Creative, innovative, diverse and with energy to spare, Chris puts clients at ease knowing that their projects are in good hands. She's a natural organizer of people and ideas, with an eye for what works and a mind that loves a challenge. From the initial brief to the finished project, Christina keeps things on track and keeps the lines of communication between the agency and the client open, ensuring successful results.

A graduate of Toronto's Ryerson Polytechnic University, she holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in New Media with concentrated studies in graphic and interactive design. This background serves us all well at the agency, and Christina is never afraid to jump in and lend her creative eye and design talents to our clients' projects.

His manual dexterity and obsessive attention-to-detail are a perfect fit for medicine, and Daekyu spent two years studying science with every intention of slipping on the stethoscope.
 
Thankfully for us, Daekyu’s creative juices got the better of him and he switched to graphic design with studies at NSCAD and Sheridan College. Now he uses his meticulous nature to inject life into every design project he can get his hands on.
 
Originally from Korea, Daekyu also has a healthy range of interests – from breakdancing and travelling to taking apart computers – which help him look at every project with a fresh perspective.

Diane enthusiastically applies her technical knowledge to our clients' projects, leading to finished work that often makes us all go 'wow'. Whether it's 3 pm or 3 am, if the job needs to go out, Diane will be there to deliver. Diane's professional experience ranges from retail to technical, and her thorough understanding of production techniques and methods in our industry is a true asset to our design team and our clients.

No, seriously. He even has his own action figure.

Eric took the less traditional route to art direction - coming from both illustration and engineering backgrounds before settling into the Design program at Nova Scotia Community College. It was there that Eric uncovered his superhuman ability to draw clever insights and direct beautiful layouts. Four years later, Eric's passion for fresh ideas has made him one of the industry's greatest weapons against flat brands.

You can spot Eric's desk a mile away - action figures and crumpled scraps of paper with half-baked thoughts litter his desk. Eric's quiet sense of humour is always good for some comic relief, and his mind is always churning out new ideas. But if he starts speaking in speech bubbles, we're going to have a word with him.

An Art History honours graduate from York and an accomplished oil painter who dreams in landscapes, Graham understands that deadlines, demands, and distractions are part of agency life. Through it all, Graham gets things done creatively and consistently. Graham's love for nature extends to his rural home on a lake and his passion for dogs. Luckily, the windows at Revolve overlook a park, where Graham takes delight in watching his furry friends frolic.

Growing up in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, Jason started working right out of high school at a steel distribution centre in Burnside. A couple years later, he headed west for the kind of adventure that most people only read about in books. ‘Choose-Your-Own-Adventure’ books.

In British Columbia, Jason worked as a cook, river guide, ski and climbing instructor, dogsled guide and helicopter logger. After having enough epic experiences to last at least two lifetimes, he decided to move to Calgary and pursue an education in Computer Information Systems.

At school, Jason excelled in programming and working with Linux. He went on to work for IBM and freelanced as a web developer for four years, before deciding to move home and join the team at Revolve. In typical Jason fashion, he packed up his truck, drove from Calgary to Halifax in four days and now has great material if he ever wants to write an amazing road trip story.

Mountain Equipment Co-op, The Gnome Foundation, Google, Inc.
 

We knew Jayme had a talent for production when she joined us at Revolve, but we had no idea how many great things she could produce. After graduating from NSCC with degrees in both Digital Imaging & Photography and Graphic Design, Jayme landed a job at Cossette Atlantic where she proved herself to be an exceptional Production Designer. She then moved to Colour, where she was instrumental in setting the design tone for Nova Scotia Tourism, NSLC and NSCC – her alma mater. In her spare time, Jayme is still designing and producing – she sells a line of adorable toy Sock Monsters and even designed a fellow Revolver’s tattoo.

Jen is from PEI, but started her marketing career in Scotland, and along the way has lived and worked in other interesting places including Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, Australia.

Jen brings more than ten years of agency experience to Revolve, including a stint with RAPP, part of one of the world’s largest agency conglomerates. Jen takes pride in her ability to build strong client relationships and her ridiculous attention to detail. She even quadruple checked this BIO. If you’d like to hear Jen’s accent for yourself, give her a call. It’s not like Braveheart or anything. It’s much more friendly.

His ability to blend left-brain strategic thinking with right-brain creative ideas sometimes leaves him with a headache, but it leaves his clients with solutions that are memorable and effective.

John’s ten years of advertising and branding experience includes work for Moosehead Breweries, Cavendish Farms, TIM-BR MART, Atlantic Lottery and the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation. His work has been recognized regionally and nationally with numerous awards including ICE, Marketing Awards, Gold Quill and Canadian Marketing Association (CMA) Awards.

Whether it’s marketing a product or developing a social responsibility campaign, John relies on his keen sense of observation and slightly different view of the world to find the most creative approach and the right voice for his clients’ messages.

Born in India, Kev grew up in Dubai and attended The Budapest School of Economic Science, earning a Bachelors of Economic Science. But he soon realized the numbers he really liked were 8.5 & 11, so he went back to school for a diploma in Design. His got his start in Dubai, where we worked as a Designer at Turning Heads and Leo Burnett. He then made the jump to Art Directing at Face2Face before making a World Record worthy long jump to Colour in Halifax. These days, Kev spends his time being unimpressed by John Smith’s collection of hot dog drawings, strumming a six string and watching soccer (which he always points out is actually called football).

As Creative Director, Matthew is in charge of the balancing act. With a firm grip on the client's objectives in one hand, and the target audience's objectives in the other, Matt initiates and inspires creative ideas for and from everyone involved in the creative process. Then, he helps implement a creative approach that is deeply rooted in brand strategy, concise in its delivery, and appetizing to the consumer. His innate understanding of human nature is equally expressed through his approach to ideas as it is in his approach to staff.

The past 14 years have availed Matthew an array of industry experiences in the areas of social marketing, products and services, real estate development, retail, professional associations and not-for-profit. In the world of agency, it is heartening to note that many of Matthew's clients are long-term advocates of his acumen and outlook. This loyalty is based on Matt's unique value position in the creative field. He understands that all brands, whether selling a product, service, or idea, must influence long-term attitudes and behaviours in order to truly persuade.

Even though she grew up as an only child, Mel has always had the gift of being a good listener, by far one of the most important skills of an Account Coordinator at Revolve. Originally from Chester Basin, Mel first attended Dalhousie University, where she majored in History. But as the saying goes, ‘dead men tell no tales,’ she decided her ear was better suited to a more interactive field. Mel went on to receive a diploma in Public Relations from NSCC and worked as Communications Assistant and Account Coordinator at 110 Communications. In her spare time, Mel likes to learn new things like yoga, wine and cooking. She’s also an avid record collector and a magnet for strangers who just want to talk. We’re pleased to have her on our account team at Revolve where she makes sure our clients and our ideas are heard.

A fast pace is second nature to Michelle. Born in Toronto, but an East Coaster by choice, she knows how to get the job done with a smile. She honed her management skills at Bristol, and at home where she takes care of 3 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat and 1 husband. Michelle is an avid sports and music fan, who would love to meet Eminem and go back in time to meet Peter Jennings, Terry Fox, Lady Di, Shakespeare & Martin Luther King, to name a few. She loves the hustle & bustle (and shopping) of cities like New York & Las Vegas (her top travel destinations), but Michelle’s favourite place to be is at home with her family. When every day as a Project Manager can be crazy, Michelle tries her best to relax.

He thrives on helping clients do great work, and guiding them through the process to get there. The journey is a little different with every client, but Mike’s experience, intuition and passion for chasing and nailing the big idea have lead to success story after success story for our clients.

Mike loves the variety of the job from working with clients in a diverse array of industries to using different mediums and innovative strategies to solve problems. Mike’s willingness to explore new strategic paths often puts him at the heart of the creative process, where few “suits” would dare tread. But for Mike, it’s just another exciting day at the office.

During his time with Revolve, Mike has played a leading role in the success of many well-known brands including TIM-BR MART, Source for Sports, NSLC, Colonial Honda and Peter Kohler Windows. A number of campaigns with Mike’s fingerprints all over them have won regional and national acclaim, including three Gold CMA awards.

When Mike isn’t chasing the big idea, he’s usually chasing salmon or trout or anything else that swims. That’s why we don’t have an aquarium at Revolve, even though Mike swears he’s a catch and release guy.

Mike’s favourite big brands:

Patagonia, Nike, Apple

Mike attended Sheridan College for film but joined the digital revolution in 1994 when Enterprise Online launched with Netscape 2.0. He knows what terms like 14.4 Baud Modem mean (though the rest of us may not).

Known for starting sentences with “I saw this cool thing on the Internet the other day,” Nicola is our go-to gal for creatively inspiring ephemera.

Before landing at Revolve’s front desk as our Receptionist, Nicola attended Saint Mary’s University, where she majored in Small Business & Entrepreneurship. Her love of school and learning led her to work at her alma mater as a teaching assistant and lab coordinator.

While Nicola is a born and bred Nova Scotian, she once spent a summer in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. And while she adores French, she sadly can’t speak it anymore. But there has to be an app for that, right?

Fast forward ten years and Rob has moved from slinging drinks to slinging code for some of the best interactive projects coming out of Atlantic Canada.

Rob is fluent in more web tools, design software and nifty code languages than we can shake a digital stick at, including PHP, jQuery, Ajax, CSS, Dreamweaver and InDesign. But it’s not just design that keeps Rob happy, a member of Toastmasters, he loves meeting clients, discussing their objectives and developing solutions that meet their needs. Rob’s heart and soul is in design and client relations, and now he’s pouring his heart and soul into building the online brands of Revolve’s clients.

Aside from being a great web weenie, Rob also has one of those cool designer dogs…A Cockadoodle…or a Goldenschnoodle or something like that. It’s pretty neat.

She is on the leading edge of what's hot, what's possible and what's effective. But most importantly, Robin understands the role of digital media, traditional media and social media; creating strategies that leverage the right mix to best meet client objectives and tell their brand story.

Robin joins Revolve from Target in St. John's, where she was Associate Media Director. Prior to that, she worked at Cossette Atlantic and Vector Media in Senior Media Planner positions.

Sam spent half of his childhood in Halifax and the other half in Vancouver. Growing up on both coasts helped Sam develop an ability to see everything from both sides, as well as a forced appreciation for seafood.

As half of a set of twin brothers, Sam quickly developed a competitive spirit to exert himself in every endeavour. Always the natural creative, Sam dabbled in film and music before enrolling in NSCAD University's Design program.

Three years into NSCAD, Sam realized his affinity for great ideas, so he transferred to the Ontario College of Art & Design's Advertising program for the second half of his university education. With one eye on great art direction and the other constantly hunting for the industry's newest trends, Sam is regularly dreaming up fresh ideas.

Which gives us an art director with a whole new way of thinking.

Sam is always working to awaken great things. When he received his first computer at the age of 11, he quickly went to work teaching himself programming. This self-starting ambition has lead Sam to a successful 10-year career as a freelance designer and developer. He’s taken on jobs as a user-interface designer, graphic designer and website developer, relocating to Montreal and Ottawa before returning to the east coast.

But Sam’s personal drive doesn’t end with his career. Performing under the name Embassy, he’s also an established electronic music artist. And an inventor, who’s spent many years perfecting the alarm clock. Right now he has a working prototype, so we’re expecting that he’ll never be late reporting to Revolve in his position as Senior Interactive Developer.

After training as a nurse in Halifax, Sandra moved to British Columbia and worked with the Ministry of Health as an RPN. But she eventually found herself interested in the digital space, and pursued this new passion at Victoria Business College. Sandra then cut her teeth working for the Government of British Columbia as a Systems Support Analyst & Health Registry Analyst and at Pacrim Hospitality as a Web Coordinator. But after 20 years, Sandra decided to move back home to Nova Scotia with her husband and son – and we’re more than happy to have her! A natural born motivator and active hockey mom, Sandra likes kayaking, hiking and keeping tabs on our digital projects. But she also enjoys relaxing – while picturing herself on a catamaran in Hawaii.

Steve has always been focused on creativity. And he knows a great job when he sees one. After majoring in History at the University of Guelph, he logged time working in a feed mill, slugging bags of animal feed and hoping for a more fulfilling, creative existence.

Creativity has always played a huge part in Steve’s life. For 8 years Steve played guitar in the band Tomorrow’s Excuse, recording 2 albums and playing gigs near his hometown of Cambridge, Ontario. Steve still keeps his Gibson Flying V close at hand, but luckily for us, he’s refocused his energy on the wonderful world of branding.

Steve attended the advertising copywriting program at Humber College, interning at Fingerprint Communications and MacLaren McCann in Toronto. He then made the move to Halifax, making a splash at Colour and winning the Young Creative Competition at the 2009 ICE Awards. Now Steve is a proud Revolver, and is thankful every day that we don’t make him carry bags of feed pellets around the office.

An only child, some might call Tekla “opinionated” – but she knows you mean “bossy.” A lifelong fan of movies, television and theatre, Tekla wanted to become a director before The West Wing lead her to major in Political Studies at Queen’s University. While there, she learned that it was writing – not politics – that she loved. After graduating, she attended Humber College for Advertising Copywriting and a career was born. Tekla spent time in Toronto at GWP and OgilvyOne before getting the call to join Revolve and move to Halifax. Since this sounded like a situation straight out of a movie, she had to go for it. 

After taking courses at Dalhousie University in Commerce, Teresa worked in a variety of Administrative and Accountant roles at William Nycum & Associates, Cossette Atlantic, CCL Group, Servi5 Integrated Systems and ForceTen.

Born in Charlottetown, Teresa’s family moved to Halifax 6 weeks later – and she’s been here ever since! Though she’s a loyal Haligonian, Teresa loves traveling to the Caribbean (especially DR) with husband Brian and keeping in touch with her son Joe who’s serving in Afghanistan.

Born and raised in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, the town that bears her family name (seriously), Victoria has always been a go-getter. She attended Dalhousie University majoring in English, and also received certification to teach English as a second language. With schooling under her belt, Victoria jetted off to Kumamoto, Japan where she taught English and picked up a little Japanese. Konnichi wa!

Victoria also participated in Young Canada Works, getting the chance to live and work in National Parks in BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan. After all that travel, its no wonder she’s keen to keep up with world news!

These days, Victoria prefers relaxing with a newspaper and her pet Chow Chow (whom she proclaims is the cutest dog ever) close by.

We don't know, but our Director of Finance certainly does. Wayne has almost 20 years of experience in accounting and finance roles with numerous organizations, including professional services firms.

Wayne was born and raised in sunny Hawaii, moved to sunny California, where he graduated from California State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration (Accounting) before beginning his finance career. After soaking up a lifetime supply of summer weather and traffic jams on the west coast, Wayne decided to see what it would be like to experience all four seasons, and moved to Nova Scotia.

Wayne's natural ability to look at complex numbers, understand the story they tell, and translate what he sees into a clear picture ensures that our finances are as strong as the work we do for our clients every day.

When Wayne isn't counting beans, he's counting beats as an avid barbershop quartet singer. While in California he was a founding member of a 120-man barbershop chorus, and he's even performed at the Hollywood Bowl. That makes him the closest thing to a celebrity we've met since that time we saw Ellen Page downtown.

Yazeed has a lot to give, and he knows that social media can make a huge difference.

After losing his father to cancer in 2006, Yazeed became heavily involved in charities that raise awareness and funds for cancer research. He worked for the charity organization Give to Live as the Logistics and Marketing Assistant and has twice participated in their North American bike ride for cancer – starting in Vancouver and ending in Austin, Texas. Yazeed has also participated in the LiveStrong challenge and even met Lance Armstrong!

A Commerce graduate from Dalhousie, Yazeed worked in financial positions at the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Dalhousie before finding his calling at Revolve.

Using his knowledge of social media and love of gaming, he started his own charity, Frag for Cancer. They host annual video gaming tournaments and sell gear to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Running a grassroots campaign through their website and Facebook, the 2010 Frag for Cancer event raised $8000 and had 300 in attendance, while hundreds more watched on live stream.

Yazeed – Revolve’s resident sports fanatic, social media guru and all around nice guy –really knows how to mobilize an online community to make a difference.
