Marc Hamelin has been promoted to vice-president, managing director at Vizeum Montreal. Hamelin has worked with the media agency’s parent company Aegis Media Canada since 1996 and has been at the helm of Vizeum Montreal as managing director since 2006.
The promotion not only recognizes Hamelin’s contribution to the business, but “how important the Montreal and Quebec market is and what a point of differentiation and strength it is for our company to have strong media brands in that market,” said Annette Warring, president of Aegis Media Canada. “We want to make sure we’ve got a strong leadership team [in Montreal] and Marc is a big part of that.”
Aside from his day-to-day responsibilities in managing the Vizeum team, Hamelin will be responsible for “elevating Vizeum’s clients with other Aegis brands [in terms of] integration and collaboration, and also working with the other Vizeum offices across the country more closely and ensuring that we’ve got a strong viable national brand under Vizeum,” said Warring.
Vizeum has offices in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Its client roster includes Alliance Films, Sears, Panasonic, A&W, Corby and Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
