Leo Barbosa, Executive Creative Director at FCB Toronto, is originally from Brazil and over the past 17 years has been working across some of the best agencies around the world including Grey New York, Droga5 Sydney, Ogilvy Brazil, amongst others. With a strong background in graphic design and art direction, Leo’s work has been recognized at top award shows including Cannes Lions, One Show, Clio, Effies, Andys and D&AD.

Leo is a passionate creative with huge focus on craft, making sure that every story is told in the best, most original and impactful way. He is constantly studying and challenging himself to find fresh ways to bring ideas to life, regardless of the media, the budget or the time to make it happen.

Most recently at Grey New York, Leo led the Pringles business, transforming it into an award-winning account and proving that doing good work is good for business. As a result, Pringles became a 2-billion-dollar brand during his tenure.

Leo has also led global campaigns for clients such as Nike, Coca-Cola, Mondelez International (Lacta Chocolate, Bis), Pringles, Unilever, (Hellmann’s, Dove, Knorr), P&G (Gillette, Downy, Febreze) and Blizzard, to name but a few.

In 2012, Greg founded NYC-based Bindery – an award-winning indie film and content studio – with the mission to create a more modern and integrated approach to crafting quality work. 

Informed by his experience as an independent filmmaker, Bindery’s success comes from its script to screen studio model – where development, production and post all create together under one roof. This new model has brought big ideas to life for the likes of Apple, Nike, Google, Facebook, Sony, and L’Oreal. 

Through Bindery Films, Greg develops and produces original content. He won an Emmy for his work on ZION, a film he premiered at Sundance and sold to Netflix. He most recently produced PLUS ONE (Executive Produced by Ben Stiller), which won the Audience Award at Tribeca. He currently runs a development slate of over a dozen projects, including the TV show NEUROTICA starring Karen Gillan (AVENGERS, JUMANJI).

A native Texan, Greg lives in New York City with his wife and four kids.

Sheena Brady landed a prestigious gig at Wieden & Kennedy Portland where she became one of the youngest creative directors in the agency’s history. 

She’s written films for the world’s most iconic brands—Nike, Coca-Cola, Levi’s, GAP, Apple, and Converse—winning advertising’s most prestigious creative awards. 

Her dry and playfully subversive sense of humor can be seen in her written work and her filmmaking—which weaves strong visual storytelling with an eye for subtle absurdity. She’s based in Brooklyn, NY and was born and raised in Alaska, which must have something to do with it all.

Sheena recently directed NewYork Festivals Advertising Awards first promo film. 

Danielle is Co-Creative Director at Iris San Francisco where she leads the creative team on a variety of Fintech clients.

She views advertising as an art and constantly strives for pieces of work that are smarter and more beautiful than the last. 

I'm the Head of Integrated Creative at Zambezi and have spent my career helping craft brand stories, bringing non-traditional ideas on various platforms for clients like HBO, Uber, Amazon Studios, Netflix, Nissan, Airbnb, Chime, etc.

I have been featured on Forbes, The Muse, 3% Conference, and listed on ThinkLA's Top Women in Advertising. I continue to get excited by the power great brands have to create meaningful work.

I have a passion for creating a world of belonging: co-founder of Asians in Advertising, president of TEDxCulverCity, and teacher at LMU's M.School.
