You may have seen Justin W McMakin speaking in front of an intrigued audience live in person or online when he’s not in front of a computer or directing a creative production team. Justin started drawing when he was 7 years old and that evolved into his first entrepreneurial venture at 12 years of age; selling hand drawn portraits while he attended half-day special arts programs throughout school.

Within his first year at George Brown College for Advertising and Design he founded Spherecore Inc. Advertising & Design. He retired that business, after seven intense years, seeking more than the 80 hour advertising agency working week. He took on the CEO and Project Manager role with PCBD Corporation. There he led the development of ThirtyMinuteWebsites.com, a proprietary do-it-yourself online website software and Full Media Center, a one-stop-shop creative media production studio.

Justin has worked with clients such as WSP International, which led to Hershey’s, McCain’s, Sobey’s Canada, POGO and now Bob Proctor’s various projects. Justin has personally produced over 100 brands for companies, products and services. He’s said “I love taking an idea and turning it into a brand that looks like it’s been established for a decade.” He has an accomplished background in fine art, graphic design, marketing, advertising and web mastery.

With 14 years of experience in the creative communications industry and a track record of helping over 100 brands communicate successfully Justin has grown to be a very helpful facilitator at meetings, team developer, project manager and creative director in the production studio. He prides himself on seeing clients happy with solutions that truly suite their business and exceeds their goals.

You are more than welcome to visit the Full Media Center and share your vision with Justin.
