***********@***.*** www.trevorgilchrist.com 323-***-**** STEPHEN DAY

product innovation director at linkedin

“Trevor has a super keen eye, creative but still

business savvy. We worked together reimagining

LinkedIn. He helped bring our segments to life

through persona development and creative

response that spoke to who our customers are.

The work was phenomenal and helped with

getting buy in from our stakeholders throughout

the organization. He truly is one of a kind,

thoughtful, talented, perceptive and empathetic.”

DAN GOLDSTEIN

chief marketing officer at avixa

“Trevor defies conventional wisdom that suggests

one cannot be both a leader and a practitioner.

Graphic design, visual FX, branding, messaging,

photography, videography - Trevor can work

magic. Immediately grasping the brief and

understanding the nature of the positive impact

he can bring.. His creativity inspires those around him, while his constant search for “better” or

“different” makes him a natural change agent.

Give him your most intractable problem and let

him loose. You won’t regret it.”

SHANNON WIGGINS

director, gnomon school of vfx

“Trevor’s creative thinking and design skills led to the creation of multiple new forms of media for

us - across print, video, and social media. His work and insight literally transformed our admissions

and engagement stats at Gnomon.

GREG VALLANCE

creative managing partner, honey Creative

“Trevor is one of the rarities in the design and

comms sector who is both a great innovative

thinker and an exceptional implementor of his

extraordinary thinking. He has the rare gift of

cutting to the chase and demonstrating his

strategy in the most compelling manner. His

ability to bring people along with him on his

journey of invention and creativity makes him an

outstanding manager, as well as a creative leader. One of the many things that impress me about

Trevor is that he never settles for an easy solution, but he will push until only the very best solution is found. Anyone who has the opportunity to work

with him should grasp that opportunity with both

hands.”

JOHN PARENTEAU

cmo — blackmagic design

“Trevor is incredibly innovative in his thinking

about marketing strategy. I was always impressed

not only by his “out of the box” approach, but also his ability to bring his ideas to life quickly and directly. Trevor is a “do’er”, and jumps right in there to show how his ideas will work, rather than just

talking a good game. Even more recently, as we

worked together on new projects, he continued

to surprise me with amazing approaches and

concepts that not only were better than my own,

but put marketing on its ear, always in a great

way. I can’t recommend him enough for a creative

leadership role in a Brand and/or Motion-based

creative environment.”
