We believe in the power of storytelling. Beyond the traditional and institutional agencies of yore, Agent Dc leads a fresh and expert collective of collaborative storytellers; Savvy digital strategists; Nurturing project leads; Considerate creatives; Practitioners of public relations. We use our time, talent and passion to collaborate and make sh*t happen. With an award-winning approach to partnership, we evolve at the speed of life to brand better for our clients and for the place we love.
Hey. It’s me, Donnie, (or ‘Don-E’ – long story). Some people call me ‘Dc’ because that’s the name of my marketing and communications company. Celebrating ten years, woot woot!! I’ve been an artist all my life; a writer, an illustrator, and a lover of what’s new and next. It blows my mind that I get to come up with big ideas and make them real for some of the most daring and passionate people in our province and beyond. Maybe we’ve already met – or maybe you’ll come up to me after for a chat. Things we might have in common: Our future in NL. Art and design. Making music. Volunteerism. Entrepreneurship. Hardshell tacos. (Never soft. *shudder*). Looking forward – Dc.
