Vincent Salera - Hi everyone!
I’m a design and branding professional working in Montreal and Toronto Canada. I am a strong advocate for creative communications that make people laugh, touch their hearts and inspire them to act.
In 2005, I created and launched the BookIdol.ca contest, which I pitched to CJAD 800 AM radio, the most listened to radio station in Montreal. The contest was an overnight sensation and is quickly becoming a household name, gaining more enthusiasts after each contest. It has been featured in several media outlets including Global television's This Morning Live.
My interests include the world of advertising and branding, graphic novels, illustration, the latest gadgets, documentaries and digital photography.
