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 “Sluggish”


BRAND CAMPAIGN (2025)

We’re all nagivating a new normal today: the economy feels volatile, money isn’t going as far as it used to, we all feel behind on our financial goals, and we’re afraid that things might not work out for us.

Sluggish, however, is a film series that hopes to turn what’s painful into something joyful: that you can still unlock financial freedom because Wealthsimple is built to get you there.
