Christian Ayotte’s Summary

Strategy - Creativity - Craftmanship


Christian started his current career path in the late 1990's and joined the advertising agency Sid Lee (known back then as Diesel Marketing) in january 2000. He was the first Flash Developer at Sid Lee, bringing the technology to the forefront of the agency creative interactive work. He will lead the Flash creative team up to the end of 2004 when the agency was named Interactive Agency of the Year in Canada. With an urge to find new challenges he moved to SoCal joining the award winning team of Juxtinteractive and later Exopolis. After 2 years Sid Lee came back to bring him up north again to Montreal as Creative Co-Director.

Christian is now the owner of his own studio (mamooth) servicing top-tier agencies around the world.

Since the early 2000's Christian has been involved in projects that won numerous industry awards; Cannes Cyber Lions, Direct Lions, One Show, New York Festivals, Eurobest, LIAA, SXSW, AIGA Annual Design Competition, Digital Marketing Awards and almost every Quebec market oriented awards. Some of those projects were also featured in publications such as Communication Arts, Applied Arts, STEP Inside and numerous Taschen's books.
