Chief Executive Officer, Alphabet Creative
Ottawa, Ontario
Founded in 2000, Alphabet® is an integrated branding consultancy that helps clients uncover the truth of their brand, aligning brand strategy with business strategy to achieve transformative results. For twenty-five years, we’ve been more than a branding agency. We’ve built a reputation as creative problem-solvers who blend strategy, storytelling, technology, and media to help clients achieve meaningful business outcomes. Our work spans brand strategy and narrative development, design systems and creative campaigns, custom digital platforms, cutting-edge AI integrations, and multi-channel media execution. Now, as the industry evolves and new possibilities emerge, we’re ready to transform into something even bolder: a creative consultancy that sits at the intersection of brand, technology, and business consulting - a place where innovative ideas don’t just look good but drive real results.
To lead this transformation, we are seeking an accomplished and entrepreneurial Chief Executive Officer. The ideal candidate will bring a strong track record of leadership within creative agencies, digital consultancies, professional services firms, or senior client-side brand or marketing roles. This individual will possess the strategic acumen to refine and execute our vision, the operational discipline to manage and optimize our business, and the commercial mindset necessary to drive growth and secure new opportunities.
This role requires a leader who can inspire multidisciplinary teams, foster a culture of excellence and accountability, and serve as a trusted advisor to our clients. Equally important is the ability to build and nurture high-level relationships, generate new business, and navigate the significant shifts currently reshaping our industry.
As CEO, you will work in close partnership with the President & Chief Strategy Officer, who remains deeply invested in the company’s success and is committed to supporting the right leader in taking Alphabet Creative forward. For the right individual, this position offers not only a significant leadership opportunity but also a pathway to equity and genuine ownership in the firm’s future.
At Alphabet Creative, we value integrity, transparency, and constructive dialogue. We seek a leader who is decisive yet collaborative, visionary yet pragmatic, and who shares our commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients and our people.
