I'm Marc Fowler, and it's my job to make your brand look good.
I'm a Art Director and Designer living in Toronto. Usually I'm pushing pixels and presenting to clients. Occasionally I'm jumping out of airplanes, judging province-wide beer contests, making spicy guacamole and wondering why those things can't also be part of my job description. Agency Wars 2015 contender, so you know I can commit to a challenge.
