Trickey has also had stints at Leo Burnett and John St.

The remaining three additions are at MacLaren Momentum, the agency’s experiential division, led by new head of event production Laura Boshell. Boshell spent the last year at GMR as director of event production, having previously been a producer at events for Samsung, Nike, London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Microsoft, Nissan and CBC, among others.
