Marc Tavas is a CREATIVE PRODUCER based between Toronto and Montréal.


For five years, I’ve been guiding the in-house creative studio at Wealthsimple to successfully ship editorial content, product campaigns, brand campaigns, and film/still shoots.

For a decade before that, I’ve lived lives across graphic design, art direction, content strategy, account/client services, and project management at agencies and magazines.

Wealthsimple Magazine


EDITORIAL (2020-21)

Wealthsimple Magazine’s mission is to demystify money by exploring its intersection with humanity and the world. Through conversations with geniuses, eccentrics, and people you might recognize, it discusses the practical, the personal, the newsworthy — all of it. I am grateful to have joined journalists (who come from outlets like GQ, Slate, the New York Times Magazine, Esquire, and the CBC) to continue Wealthsimple’s legacy of editorial excellence.
