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.
Formerly the Senior Vice President at Critical Mass, Bill spent eight years managing client services and global production strategy for offices across three continents.

And in a previous life, he was the Vice President of Technology at Critical Mass, where he oversaw the workings of 80+ staff members across North America. Since then, Allard has joined the team at Evans Hunt, where he provides analytical oversight on all things operations. He also makes a mean bologna sandwich.
Jason’s career has moved him across industries, countries, and roles over the course of nearly two decades. He’s solved countless interactive advertising and technology challenges on both agency and client side.

This eventually took him all the way to Costa Rica as the Director of Operations for Critical Mass’ local office.
Throughout his career, Jason has worked with major brands like Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti Global, Hyatt, Nutrien, and Rolex. He’s also been able to bring that global perspective to local and national organizations such as Shaw, Cenovus, BC Lottery Corp, and Servus Credit Union.

With experience in both advertising and digital marketing, Michael has a depth of knowledge that he’s applied to working with clients like Travel Alberta, Calgary International Film Festival, Rolex, Shaw and Hyatt Hotels & Resorts.
In his spare time, Michael experimented with an ecommerce start-up that has garnered numerous international awards for design, branding and campaign work. He also likes to make outrageous claims, like how he invented the play button on video players.
In another life, Mark worked for the UN and the Vietnamese Tourism Board. Then he decided to shift gears and transfer his skills to the digital realm.

With a solution-based approach to CX, Mark helps users spend less time clicking and more time buying. He also does a deadly rendition of Blue Steel.

January is also part of the Evans Hunt Equestrian Admin Team, whatever that means.

With a wealth of experience in web development, Jason guides developers through an alphabet soup of programming languages to make responsive websites for brands like AT&T, Best Buy, Peanuts and Adidas.

After holding the title of Technology Lead at Critical Mass, Jason made the jump to Evans Hunt to become Director of Technology.
When Jason isn’t overseeing projects to their successful completion, he can be found smiling in and around the office — even on Monday mornings.

When Dawn’s not in the office counting beans, she spends her days raising her two lovely dogs.
