Cossette has added the creative duo of copywriter Linda Dawe and art director Stéphane Gaulin. Dawe and Gaulin have been collaborating for 13 years now. They first worked together at Marketel and then at Taxi, where they spent the past eight years. They produced notable campaigns for clients such as Bombardier, Les Producteurs laitiers du Canada, Air Canada, Microsoft and the SAQ and along the way have collected several nominations for Cannes Lions and many prizes at the Marketing Awards, New York Festival, London Festival, Applied Arts, and Quebec-based Créa Awards and Grafika Awards.
Gaulin was named Best Art Director at the New York Festival for an AIDS awareness campaign created for Quebec’s ministry of health and social services, and Best Art Director at the Créa Awards for an SAQ campaign. Dawe, for her part, serves on several juries, including those for the Créa Awards and Marketing Awards.
