Robin Brunet
Robin Brunet is a Canadian journalist born in Montreal in 1960. He began his career as a newspaper intern in 1979 in Montreal and, later, moving to Edmonton in 1982, began a career in trade magazine writing.

Moving to Vancouver in 1984, Brunet began a long association as a stringer for U.S. publications including The Hollywood Reporter and American Cinematographer. He spent most of the 1990s in the employ of the now-defunct BC Report, a conservative weekly news magazine.

Since 2000 Brunet has divided his time between writing for the trades and caring for horses at his home near the Washington State border. In late 2012 he was retained to write a series of political ads that would gain notoriety as the "attack ads" that helped along the historic re-election of the provincial Liberals in 2013.

As of 2014 Brunet was a regular contributor to trade magazine publishing houses in B.C. (Canadawide); Alberta (Venture Publishing); Manitoba (Mercury Publications); and Ontario (Media Edge). His biography of legendary Canadian ad man Frank Palmer is expected to be published in late 2014, and has been retained to write a biography of veteran broadcaster Red Robinson.
