Brent Choi, Angry Butterfly

As a ‘creative’ guy, for years Brent hid the fact he had graduated from one of Canada’s most prestigious business schools. And that he used to be an account person. And won numerous math competitions in high school. Okay, maybe keep that last one to yourself. Today, Brent is Partner & CEO of Angry Butterfly, leading a team of 40 and 11 incredible clients. Most recently as CEO/Chief Creative Officer of DDB Canada, Brent used his unique left-brain/right-brain approach to lead DDB’s total creative product and overall strategic direction across all offices. Previous to DDB, Brent spent 3 years in New York in charge of JWT’s flagship office where he helped transform them from old-school agency into the #5 Cannes Cyber Agency in the World.

Before arriving in NY, Brent helped two different agencies transform into Canada’s Agency of the Year. He has 25+ Cannes Lions, been a speaker at Cannes, and his work has been featured around the world including in the New York Times, Forbes, Fast Company and Sesame Street.

At home Brent transforms back to a proud dad, insane NFL fan, and loving husband. His wife would add “In that order.”
