CANADA Welcomes Director Kate Halpin

CANADA has announced the signing of acclaimed director Kate Halpin to its global roster. Halpin's unique blend of vibrant visuals, sharp comedic timing, and a keen eye for detail will be represented by CANADA in the UK, US and Spain.

CANADA London MD Marta Bobić noted, “We’re thrilled to welcome Kate to CANADA. We’ve long admired her work for its clever humour and art direction, and when we met her, we knew instantly she was the perfect fit. Her ability to blend wit and absurdity with relatability and depth is rare in comedy. Her work is not only funny but beautifully crafted, making it stand out in a truly unique way.”

Her work boasts a diverse portfolio, from campaigns for major brands like Toyota, Bumble, ESPN, Uber Eats, Starbucks, Nestle, Nintendo, Westfield, and TK Maxx, to award-winning short films that have earned laurels at over 35 festivals worldwide; including a Cannes Lion award, a Clio, and an Australian Directors Guild Award for 'Best Director'. 

Kate commented, “I’ve been a fan (and shameless social stalker) of CANADA for a long time. Their dedication to craft and pushing creative boundaries is hugely inspiring - as are the top-notch bunch of producers leading the helm. I’m beyond excited to be joining such a talented roster of directors and by the opportunity to collaborate with creatives at the top of their game.”
