Entrepreneur, creative instigator, and walking tempest. Bruce Symbalisty’s infectious energy inspires the people around him and cumulates in extraordinary ideas. He worked at eWorld in the early ’90s where he developed innovative blogging systems and sold that intellectual property to Apple. He has delivered strategic initiatives and campaigns for Alberta Health Services, BP Amoco, Coca-Cola, a few Emmy-Award winners, the Glenbow Museum, Innovate Calgary, Mattel, Microsoft, RobertLangford UK, and Telus.
Bruce spent a decade as a business and marketing analyst for the oil and gas sector before founding his own marketing firm, Reality Engine. Over two decades later, his love of marketing burns as bright as his entrepreneurial spirit. Bruce is an active member and advocate of the Canadian Marketing Association, and a regular judge on the community engagement panel at the prestigious CMA marketing awards. He is also a member of the national committee that developed the pedagogical components for the Canadian marketer’s professional designation.
Bruce’s other great love is the arts – he is a fine artist and dedicated supporter of the arts community. Bruce’s creative mindset and longstanding business expertise provide the perfect storm for innovation. He is continuously transforming the ordinary into something scarce and captivating.
Bruce strongly believes that by being fearless, we can push the limits of boundaries, spark conversations, and continue to evolve. It keeps things interesting, and that’s what creativity is all about.
