Paul Birm­ing­ham

Paul’s 15 years of expe­ri­ence extends from direct mail cam­paigns, brand iden­tity, mar­ket­ing cam­paign man­age­ment, point of sale col­lat­eral to print pub­li­ca­tions to online adver­tis­ing and web­site development.

Straight out of col­lege, Paul spent four years as a designer and pro­duc­tion man­ager in a medium-sized busi­ness in Antigo­nish doing work for most Mar­itime Uni­ver­si­ties and other local businesses.

From here he went on to be an inte­gral player in the marketing/advertising depart­ment in the Atlantic head office of Loblaw Canada. He gained 7 years of invalu­able mer­chan­dis­ing and mar­ket­ing expe­ri­ence through the design and pro­mo­tion of store-level and national-level prod­ucts and services.

Paul was then approached to take on an Art Direc­tor posi­tion within an agency. Lead­ing a team of design­ers, he also man­aged the mar­ket­ing, pro­mo­tion and design for such accounts as KFC, Taco­Bell, Piz­za­Hut, Bonté and Greco on a national scale.

In 2007, hard­work and per­se­ver­ance came to fruition while part­ner­ing with his sis­ter Leanne; Studio11 became a full time focus with much success.

Clients have always been a fan of Paul’s effi­cient and easy-going work style and how he applies busi­ness acu­men to any project. He takes your project per­son­ally and makes sure you always look your best.
