In 2004, Bonnie bought A&C from its founder. A pioneering cultural sponsorship agency at the time, Bonnie bet that A&C’s results-driven ethos and emphasis on the research and analysis essential to successful sponsorship strategy would benefit the entire communications offering. Hundreds of successful client successes later, it’s clear she won that bet. A successful entrepreneur in New York and Toronto who has grown and adapted A&C to a rapidly changing industry, Bonnie has become a North American authority in sponsorship strategy and negotiation. To give back, she volunteers and has served on the Boards of Loran Scholars Foundation, MOCA and the Sponsorship Marketing Council of Canada. Bonnie is a lifelong meditator, avid reader, and lover of exceptional red wine.
