ABOUT
DAN STRASSER
Executive Vice President, Executive Creative Director
Believeco
With over 20 years experience, Dan’s passion for design, art direction, and both digital and mass advertising have largely been influenced by having worked at some of the world’s best agencies and on some of the biggest brands – Budweiser, VW, Volvo, Ikea, Milk, Lotto 649, Kim Crawford Wine, SVEDKA Vodka, Kit Kat and Burger King to name a few.
With stints at DDB Chicago, DDB Vancouver, DDB Germany, and Leo Burnett Zurich, before returning to Canada to work at Bensimon Byrne, Dan was awarded 5+ Cannes Lions, and also earned Super Bowl spot of the decade for his work on Budweiser. After 7 years at Bensimon Byrne, Dan moved over to sister-shop OneMethod where he lead creative on Nestle, Proximo, J&J, and Burger King, while managing the creative department.
From there he joined Venture Communications overseeing all creative, ultimately helping Venture to become Believeco–a 300 person shop that spans Canada and into the US.
When he's not obsessively Creative Directing, he can be found taking on DIY home projects (which he’s very good at under estimating) and hanging out with his family, dogs and his jerk of a cat.
AWARDS
It's not all about the awards, but it's better to have them than not. Also, shiny things are fun.
Thanks to working with so many talented people, awards have been won around the globe.
From multiple Cannes Lions, a few Clios, London Internationals, One Show appearances, multiple wins at Marketing Awards, Lotus, New York Festivals, Extras, ADC Germany, Best of Show at the Bessies, some CMAs, ADCCs, Webbys, etc.
