What elements of creative craft are worth slowing down production for? Does high production value still signal craft & quality—or just budget? Hear their insights on these questions and more.

Nancy Crimi-Lamanna

TBWA\Canada Chief Creative Officer

Industry leader Nancy Crimi-Lamanna is currently the Chief Creative Officer of TBWA\Canada formerly FCB Canada. Named by Adweek as one of Toronto’s Brand Stars shaping the city into the creative hub it is today and a Campaign US 40 over 40, Nancy helped lead the creative resurgence of FCB, elevating its position to North American Network of the Year at the Cannes Lions for seven consecutive years. Her work has been presented to the UN twice and she also has the distinction of bringing home Canada’s first Integrated, Commerce, Strategy and Creative Data Cannes Lions. Innovation and disruption are at the core of Nancy’s creative vision, helping put the first bank branch on Twitch for BMO, turning TikTok food trends into shopping baskets, creating the world’s first wearable lottery ticket, retraining Google’s voice algorithm to understand atypical speech, and bringing the first iconic number in sports to the Down syndrome community with adidas. This thinking helped make the agency Canada Digital Agency of the Year seven times and the most-awarded Canadian agency in Creative Commerce at Cannes. All her work stems from one defining philosophy, “Leap and a net will appear.” Beyond creating iconic campaigns, Nancy is an industry thought leader: She's served on several international juries including Jury presidencies at the Cannes Lions, Clios and D&AD as well as volunteering her time for industry panels, being on the ADCC advisory board and school advisory boards for advertising students in Canada.
