Devon MacDonald Becomes Shareholder in Cairns Oneil

Cairns Oneil was founded by David Cairns and Sherry O’Neil having identified a void in the Canadian market. Large and mid-size brands in Canada were often limited to holding company agencies and were not getting the attention or service they needed to guide their business and media investments. Following 11 years of success as an independent media agency Cairns Oneil is proud to announce that their president, Devon MacDonald will be the first new shareholder in the company. 

“A short 17 months ago Devon joined the agency as our first president, supporting our vision for future growth and evolution,” said David Cairns.  

Since joining Devon has successfully led the agency’s new business efforts winning 12 new accounts, elevated the work on current clients and added a number of tools to the agency’s roster.  

“With 2022 culminating in Devon’s recognition as Media Leader of the Year at the Media Innovation Awards, we knew that not only had Devon made a terrific impact on the media agency but was getting the industry recognition that we believe he deserves,” said Sherry O’Neil.  

“While the outlook for 2023 calls for resiliency, we know that our agency is poised to help our clients deliver positive business results.  I am proud to be the first new shareholder in Cairns Oneil after 11 years of success,” said Devon MacDonald.
