My name is Colin Smillie and I’ve been working, creating and marketing technology products for over 15 years.

I’m currently the Director of Social Media with Hill+Knowlton Strategies.  We work with government and other large organizations to develop and engage their stake-holders.  This usually involves a technology platform like a website or Facebook Page that is used to gather  feedback and crowd source the better ideas, that’s usually where I get involved.

Previously, I co-founder Refresh Partners, one of the leading agencies focused on marketing in Social Networks and worked with some of the foremost brands in North America; including Adidas, Ford, Dodge, Volkswagon.  I even worked on the infamous “Whopper Sacrifice Campaign”.

Prior to that I worked as a Brand Manager with Trader Corporation and I’ve been a Product Manager on a variety of software projects for enterprise, consumers and the mobile market.

I have a rather unique ability to market effectively and have a deep understanding of  technology.  I can communicate with developers and even program in a variety of languages.

My work has allowed me to live in Sydney, Australia and Tokyo, Japan.  While I currently live in Toronto,  I’m never far from my home town of  Hamilton, ON.  I’ve also worked and traveled extensively in Asia/The Pacific and Europe.
