ACD & DESIGN NERD
I'm Candice, a Toronto Based ACD and Design nerd with a mild obsession for clean layouts and big ideas.
I thrive at the intersection of communication, creativity, and strategy—using type, image, and space to not just make things look good, but mean something.
Associate Creative Director
CANDICE BENTHAM
With over ten years of creative experience—most recently guiding visual campaigns for Bayer’s Canadian and U.S. markets—I bring a multidisciplinary design background, a passion for storytelling, and a sharp eye for visual culture that aligns seamlessly with innovative energy.
Currently serving as Associate Creative Director at OLIVER Agency, I lead a talented team of designers and copywriters, shaping concepts and overseeing execution across digital, motion, social and print platforms.
I thrive in fast-moving environments where collaboration fuels great ideas, and I’d be excited to contribute my strategic vision, mentorship experience, and design versatility—from Adobe XD and Firefly to motion and OOH—to help elevate any creative output.

Behind the name “Taco the Bulldog”
Taco is my American bulldog, a kind, lovable, gentle soul (and a total softie at heart). Bulldog breeds are often misunderstood and judged before people take the time to truly know them. He’s been my lil assistant on set and will continue to be. Taco is a reminder of just how wrong those assumptions can be. I have so much love for him—and for all the breeds that deserve a second look.
