David Wylie brings over three decades of expertise in design, advertising, and brand management. His career began in the mid-1980s as Associate Creative Director at Palmer Jarvis Edmonton, where he worked on global brands such as McDonald’s and Westin Hotels and discovered the long-term value of strong brand stewardship.

In 1990, he co-founded Wylie Roberts Communications in Calgary, building an impressive client roster that included Shell Oil, Telus, Fording Coal, CNCP Telecommunications, and Canada Safeway.

After selling the firm to BBDO, David became Associate Creative Director before moving to Vancouver in 1997 to serve as VP Creative Director for Western Canada at MacLaren McCann. There, he led brand strategy for General Motors, Cathay Pacific Airways, Western Canada Lotteries, BC Women’s Hospital, and Engage Energy—helping the office triple its business in just three years.

Since then, David has worked with prominent clients including Intracorp, Bosa Properties, The Saliant Group, Mosaic Homes, Vancouver Recital Society, BC Chamber of Commerce, and Jove Pictures.
