Alex Bird

Oh hey,

Thanks for checking out my portfolio. I’m an associate creative director and copywriter at Sid Lee Toronto. Though Toronto-born, I started my career on the West Coast in Vancouver. Mainly so I could feel three hours younger at all times, but it also led me to work at some of the best agencies in Canada.

Cool fact, my work has been recognized by the One Show, the ADCC, Marketing Awards, Communication Arts, Applied Arts, AToMiC Awards, Lürzer’s Archive, Young Lions, and has gained global attention by news networks including CBS, NBC, ABC, the Globe & Mail, Fast Company, Men's Health, AdAge, Adweek, and others.
