Hello

My name is Ivan Pols, I’m an Associate Creative Director/Art Director at Ogilvy Toronto. Thanks for taking a look at my portfolio.

I spend my days dreaming up “big ideas” that we turn into integrated campaigns for big multinationals executed across mutiple channels by a myriad of partners. I love making the work and I believe Art Directors should have some craft in them and try to live that. I work across all disciplines with strong design, digital and mass experience and I’ve won awards for print, poster, TV, campaign, integrated campaign, design and digital. 

Have fun.
Ivan

Truth & Spectacle comes from an interview I saw with Tony Kaye, the director, talking about Stanley Kubrick. He describes Kubrick’s films as being filled with spectacle and truth. “Spectacle and truth are the two most important things in film making. It doesn’t matter how ridiculous the story, or how implausible the scene, if it has truth and it has a special look, it will infiltrate into your audience.” Sounds like good advertising.
