not so secret
Toronto
Stephanie is President and co-founder of not so secret - a new creative advertising and production company uniquely positioned to concept and produce brand content - and she’s been pretty busy for the last 20 years or so. On any given day she could be found shutting down six lane highways in Dubai for General Motors, wrangling locations and crew on Mission Impossible and Star Trek, overseeing the construction of ads for IKEA, or casually placing 51st in the 2024 One Club creative rankings. She’s picked up metal at every major award show along the way.
Working with some of largest EMEA and Canadian production houses and ad agencies, she has developed an extensive portfolio of ‘I love that ad’ famous television commercials as well as ‘I love that movie’ big budget long format productions. In short, she knows how to get great creative made. Stephanie is also one of the founding members of Open Chair, a platform and network dedicated to creating lasting space for female and non-binary voices in the creative advertising industry.
