Who We Are
Technology has become the driving force of today’s culture. Our job is to find creative ways of using it to inspire, inform and entertain, and to ensure everything we create has as much value for our audiences as it does for our clients. Change is the canvas for the next generation of ideas, and we’re in the business of decoding it to make brands and lives better.
Dan acted as the President for Critical Mass for a number of years, overseeing client services, strategy and creative for a wide range of client engagements. After leaving Critical Mass with a new vision for an agency, he co-founded Evans Hunt — and the rest is history.
Dan is a natural leader, a brand evangelist, business strategist and creative thinker. He also has a Civil Engineering Degree from Queen’s University, an education that’s given him a competitive edge when playing Jenga.

He’s also the fastest cyclist in the office. True story.
