TORONTO, CANADA // Jane Murray is Executive Creative Director at Lowe Roche in Toronto, one of Canada’s most awarded agencies.

An alumni of the Ontario College of Art, she began her advertising career as a copywriter in 1995.

Since then, she has turned humans into barcodes for Nestle’s Tassimo, shot a zoo’s worth of animals for Canada’s Telcom Telus (where a monkey did indeed pee in her eye), put a Mini in a cage (work that subsequently ran all over the world) and helped convince people that Diamond Sheddies were indeed more delicious than square ones, winning a Grand Clio for her efforts.

Recently, she’s been busy talking Canadians into sumo wrestling and swimming with sharks for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Fearless Challenge, and last year she found a way to put missing kids on real Canadian postage stamps for the Missing Children’s Network.

Her work has appeared in all the top award shows and publications, including The One Show, Cannes, The Clios, D&AD, LIAA, The Webbies, and Communication Arts.

A passion for audio has led to her appearance many national and international awards juries, including being honoured as a radio judge for both Cannes and the One Show.

On top of trying to single-handedly bring back the jingle, she blogs about architecture in Canada’s most famous 50’s suburb (Don Mills) and hunts for midcentury modern furniture at yard sales.
