David Quinn is a Toronto-based commercial director at Skin and Bones Film whose roughly 15 years on both the client and agency sides of advertising shape a collaborative set process. Trade and roster copy flag emotive, sincere storytelling and a journalistic approach; his own framing aims to treat every ad as a creative project that might fuse Shakespearean insight with comic-book visuals. Awards include the Shots Young Director Award (2014; also described in 2015 LBB coverage as Cannes Young Director of the Year for North America) and the Straight8 Industry ShoutOut Cannes Audience Choice Award (2018). He co-founded television company Fountain of Youth Media. Evidenced spots span Wendy’s character comedy introducing “Bill Pickle, Canada’s best pickler” (2026), the Soles4Souls 60-second PSA “Doors of Opportunity” (FUSE Create, 2024) about shoes, school, and opportunity, plus rostered work for Valvoline (“Oil Change-xi-ety”), Canadian Tire (“Blender Blender”), Toyo Tires (“Bees”), Skip Flex, New Horizons caregiving portrait “This Is Caregiving - Marissa,” CPP, Mastercard (“Cirque”), Kijiji, One Drop, United Way, Paralympics, Manwich, Urban Planet, Park University, and Ontario Science Center. Genre lanes cluster around heartfelt cause narrative, pun- and character-led comedy, and automotive aftercare.
