David Hughes

More than twenty years ago, David had a great idea – not his first – and started his own marketing and advertising business. Just three years ago he had another great idea - not his last – to partner with Peter at Limelight. Of course, he'd rather be sailing. But in the meantime, he has done some thinking and great work with some of the best thinkers in the business, – including his friend and partner Jerry Goodis, and one of the great creative minds in advertising, Harrison Yates. He has thought and created for some of the best: British Air, Via Rail, Alcan, Dynamic Mutual Funds, Upper Canada Brewing, Canadian Airlines, Cadillac Fairview, Waltec, Metro Toronto Zoo, Ontario Hydro and Suzuki. In between having a few ideas and creating great television, radio and print campaigns for others, David has written two business books, two novels and is currently ghostwriting another business book and a posthumous memoir.

David says: "Great ideas don't become great stories until you bring two intellectual partners together - creative thinking and strategic thinking. No matter how great an idea might be, if creativity and strategy aren't fused, the idea is bound to be a work of fiction."
