Jon Dick is a Canadian advertising copywriter and creative thinker.[1] His work has been internationally recognized by such festivals as Cannes Lions, the One Club, Clios, and Communication Arts.[2]

Career History[edit]

Dick started his career as an intern at Cossette Communications. He then worked at Mackie Biernacki - a boutique advertising agency.

Soon, he was hired as a copywriter at Juniper Park\TBWA. There, he created the Nissan GT-R NFT[3], an award-winning campaign.

In 2021, Dick was hired at McCann Canada as a senior copywriter.[4] There, in 2022, he launched Wendy's breakfast for the Canadian market with a campaign called "Where's the Bacon?"[5] This was a refreshed version of the famous Wendy's "Where's the beef?" campaign.

In 2023, he created The Stage Zero Collection by Love & Nudes - the world's first breast cancer screening tools designed for Black women.[6][7] The campaign ultimately influenced the government of Ontario to lower the breast cancer screening age from 50 to 40.[8] He also created Roots Remastered for Bayer, the world's first music made from corn.[9] Dick also introduced BurnWatch for non-profit Melanoma Canada.

Dick's work for The Stage Zero Collection, and his other campaigns at McCann, earned him numerous awards.[10] It also directly contributed to McCann winning bronze at the Strategy Agency of the Year awards – the agency’s first placement on the podium in 23 years.[11] A week later, he won the agency its first gold trophy since 2009.[12]
