His work has been recognized at virtually every major awards show around the globe, and he has built a reputation for his approach to agency building and developing creative talent.

“Thinkingbox has always operated from the belief that the people who dream it should be the ones who make it,” said Amir Sahba, Founder and CEO, Thinkingbox. “Cam embodies that philosophy completely. He’s a proven agency builder, a world-class conceptual thinker, and someone who has spent his career elevating the craft and the people around him. As we continue to see significant demand from our clients, from strategy and creative excellence to scaled delivery, growing our creative leadership was a critical move. One we believe Cam will excel in.”
Boyd was selected following a six-month global search. Thinkingbox has seen 60% year-over-year growth and currently has more than 40 immediate job openings. Boyd will also help grow Thinkingbox’s presence in Toronto, which remains a major hub for the agency.
“What drew me to Thinkingbox is the philosophy that the making and thinking belong in the same hands,” said Cam Boyd, Executive Creative Director, Thinkingbox. “The best work I’ve been part of happened when the people with the creative vision got their hands dirty and were integral to bringing it to life. That’s the operating model here, and it’s where I want to be building.”
