Sylvain Dufresne
FCB - Montreal

Sylvain Dufresne

Vice President and Chief Creative Officer at FCB Montreal - Montreal

Sylvain Dufresne is Vice President and Chief Creative Officer at FCB Montreal, and for over 20 years, he’s been trying to explain to his parents what he actually does for a living. Otherwise, he’s had the pleasure to work on numerous campaigns for advertisers such as Air Canada, BMO, MAXI, DFK, La Cage, YWCA and many more. He’s also contributed to skits on the year-end sketch-comedy show “Bye Bye”, written and performed monologues on the Just for Laughs stage, and worked as a bodyguard for Robert DeNiro. He’s received several industry awards (CRÉA, Boomerang, Marketing Awards, Clios, One Show, MIA) and he’s often invited to sit on panels to discuss advertising and other topics. Let’s hope this clears things up for his parents.

Gerald Kugler is a Group Creative Director at Zulu Alpha Kilo in Toronto. A native of Richmond, Virginia, Kugler started his career 25 years ago in the ad department of a big box electronics retailer.

After graduating, Kugler moved to Boston to work at Ingalls Advertising. Two years later, Kugler ventured to the Great White North for “a year, maybe two.” Nineteen years later, he’s happily still in Toronto, having worked at agencies like Roche Macaulay and Partners, John St, BBDO, TBWA and others. He’s worked on clients like Mercedes-Benz, Ikea, Dove, Holiday Inn, Visa, Gatorade, Interac and Tim Hortons. Kugler’s work has been awarded at shows such as Cannes, One Show, Communication Arts, Clios and Webbys. Feeling like his bio is becoming an endless series of lists, Kugler stops yammering on about himself mid-senten
