On today’s episode of Make My Logo Bigger, we welcome an incredibly gifted photographer, teacher, mentor, and our dear friend, Ingram Barss.

Recently, Ingram has taken his talent, and fostered it in the classroom, gifting his knowledge of photography to students for the past 16 years at NSCC. Today, we are lucky enough that he shares some of that with us.



Ingram comes by his talent honestly, having grown up in a family of artists. In studying photography, Ingram was presented with a lifetime of incredible opportunities and experiences, including working famed photographer Tony Esparza in LA. During this time he shot for CBS and worked on many shows including CSI, CSI Miami, Survivor, The Price is Right, The Bold and The Beautiful, The Young and the Restless, Everybody Loves Raymond, and many others. He also shot at the Emmys, the Grammys, and the Peoples’ Choice Awards and was one of two photographers at Mohamad Ali’s 60th birthday! A true storyteller, and an incredible talent, you don’t want to miss this episode.

Join us for this instalment of Make My Logo Bigger as we sit with a true trailblazer in the realm of photography and digital imaging, as well as a mentor and friend to JIVE, David Campbell. From his beginnings of capturing medical marvels at Mount Sinai Hospital to co-founding one of Eastern Canada's leading commercial studios with Robinson/Campbell & Associates LTD, our guest's lens has witnessed the evolution of an industry.



Beyond his time in the studio, he has also dedicated over two decades to shaping young minds at NSCC, including 2 of the JIVE team, by developing the Digital Imaging one year program. This would go on to become the second instalment of the 2-year Professional Photography diploma program, creating a lasting impact.

Sit back and enjoy a relaxed conversation with this visionary behind the lens, revisiting some of the most important shifts and milestones in the photography industry over the past 30 years. It’s a must-listen for anyone interested in visual mediums and commercial photography!

Welcome to the first episode of season 3! To kick off this season, we sit with our good friend, Quinn Anderson.

On this episode of Make My Logo Bigger, we are excited to sit with a true communication and strategy veteran with two decades of experience building some of our regions’ leading brands: our friend, Mike Bardsley.

Formerly the Vice President and Partner at Revolve Branding Inc., Mike is a go-to resource to facilitate groups, coach, launch new ventures, merge brands, articulate strategy, identify and implement priority tactics to help build strong brands and strong cultures.

Those skills carry over to Triangle Strategies where Mike now sits as COO and is tasked with managing existing business, developing new opportunities, and plays a lead role facilitating Leaders Forum cohorts.
