Agency Wins: Mosaic tapped for Silk & Snow’s XM, Hype PR adds trio of clients

Silk & Snow taps Mosaic for experiential project

Mosaic is working on a new experiential project for Sleep Country subsidiary Silk & Snow, the Canadian grown home and lifestyle, bedding and mattress company.

The shop is developing a campaign that is scheduled to go live this fall, says Jef Moore, executive creative director and VP of creative at Mosaic.

“We’ve started working with them now on this one particular project that should run through October or so,” Moore says. “We’re hopeful to continue with them as their go-to experiential agency.”

Mosaic recently brought in former VML creative director Jeremy Richard and former Vibrant associate creative director Melanie Muto as associated creative directors. Muto will take a lead role on the Silk & Snow campaign.

And former Goods & Services senior designer Taylor Toth was also recently hired as Mosaic’s new senior designer.

Moore tells strategy that Mosaic is also planning to add two more junior designer positions.

Last month, Silk & Snow and Veritree launched a CSR initiative based designed around restoring B.C. forests.
