Brett McIntosh

Industry leader. Agency president. Partner to Canada's most influential CMOs. And, notably, one of the advertising world's most genuine figures.

As president of Publicis Toronto, Brett navigates the complexities of leading Canada's largest advertising agency—alongside a roster of specialist disciplines—in an increasingly demanding landscape. It requires resilience, vision, and an uncommon grace under pressure. Brett has been with Publicis for 25 years—a quarter of a century. When he joined, the team numbered 38. Today, it's 800. Over the past 18 months, Brett has overseen a series of growth-driven initiatives that have expanded opportunities for his exceptionally talented team while propelling the agency forward. Culture is shaped by its leaders. Ask anyone at Publicis about Brett, and the responses are remarkably consistent: he gives everyone his time, he's accountable, he's generous, and he genuinely cares. He also works relentlessly for his clients, his team, and the agency.
