Mimi Maxwell

Senior Art Director

Quote When I was a wee thing I drew and drew and drew. I drew telephones with faces, grapes that tap danced and RVs that could comfortably seat 100. Then I went to L.A. to study illustration for four years and left there with a thirst for graphic design – anything to do with typography. I ended up in New York as an editorial designer. Six years later I landed in my hometown of Toronto. I have now been with ST for almost 13 years.

Nancy Clark

Quote Writing for nonprofit clients is a fulfilling challenge. Persuading a reader to donate means transforming a financial transaction into an emotional decision that comes from the heart.

Neil Gallaiford

Principal, Chair of the Board

Quote I spent nearly 15 years as CEO of ST, relinquishing the role in 2020. I have retired from active management and hope I continue to add value by managing special projects, and providing my colleagues with wise counsel accumulated throughout more than 30 years in fundraising. My key focus is to ensure that ST continues to put the clients’ missions at the heart of everything the agency does. We speak truth to power and are committed to completing every project on time and on budget, without exception. I also collect art and was for many years a proud volunteer with the Art Gallery of Ontario. When I travel, I seek out art galleries, and art gallery cafes, which are almost always excellent.
