President & Creative Director

Kathy Cartan

Always putting her customers’ strategic goals front and centre, Kathy has made Motive Media into the creative leader it is today. She has spent 25 years experimenting with textures, materials, and printing technologies to develop options that enhance and transform any space, from a wall to the side of a truck.

Keenly observant, passionate and thoughtful, “good enough” is never good enough for Kathy. She is known to do whatever it takes to ensure her clients are thrilled with her company’s work, and her relationships in the industry speak volumes – she’s had some of the same clients since she started out over 30 years ago. Kathy runs her business with strength, integrity and a sense of humour that permeates throughout the office..

National Account Executive

experience seeing projects from concept stages to the end result, which is invaluable in her role. Kate’s been known to crack jokes but also approaches her job with a seriousness and dedication that our team and clients appreciate.

Graphic Designer

Amy Syvret

When it comes to bragging rights, we believe we could go on and on when it comes to our design capability – and lucky for us, we have a very talented and experienced Graphic Designer on our team.  Amy brings a fresh and contemporary look to everything she touches, and has an impressive roster of work behind her.  Clients are impressed with her ability to hone in on their needs and present a design that is perfectly on point with their message.

Manager, Production & Installation

Randy Shepherd

As Installation Manager, it’s Randy’s job to ensure the end result is even more impressive than design concepts.  He’s always up for anything if it means getting a job done well.  He’s taken on traveling to Northern Ontario (has anyone heard of Detour Lake?  Randy has – he’s been there twice to do a remote installation job), Northern Alberta and everything in between.  His handy nature is very helpful around the shop – he’s been known to take bribes with bacon.

Pre-Press & Print Operator

Sherman Ma

With over 25 years of experience in large format print production, Shermen is knowledgeable, detail oriented and methodical – all perfect qualities in someone who is responsible to produce the wonderful work that we do. Shermen’s witty sense of humour and willingness to go the extra mile make him an integral part of the Motive team.

Production Coordinator & Finishing Lead

Dino Marcucci

Our resident materials “expert”, Dino brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Finishing department at Motive. His organization, attention to detail, and uncanny knack to be able to determine how much material is on a roll just by looking at it means that Dino gets asked a million questions a day by the rest of us (and he always has the answers)!
