Since the firm’s inception, Grant has stuck to its motto “Branding the good guys.” The company is active in everything from naming and creating identities to creating full multimedia ad campaigns. Clients range from travel icon Butterfield & Robinson and The Shaw Festival to organic food companies, alternative energy companies and utilities like Hydro One. Key Gordon created FLICK OFF, the award-winning global warming activism campaign.

Grant is the President of the Dreamwalker Dance Co., a Trustee of the Quetico Foundation, a member of the Gala Committee for the Writers’ Trust, and a past Director of Key Publishers Ltd.

Grant is an active public speaker on topics relating to advertising & design, sustainability and ethical marketing. He has been the keynote speaker at conferences from Nova Scotia to Alaska.
