Trent Thompson
Executive Creative Director @ Cossette
About
I'm an award-winning copywriter and creative director with a history of working with A+ brands. I've done work across every medium you can think of (and some you can't) at some of the best-known agencies in Canada But what does that actually mean? Means I solve problems. Usually with some level of intelligence, strategy and purpose. And I've done it for a bunch of years on a bunch brands at a bunch of different places. Oh, any commercial my mom sees, she asks if I did it. If she liked it, I say 'yes'.
