Who we are.

Chris Poulin
Creative Director/Art Director
chris@bonafidecreative.net

Chris cares. About staying on strategy, solving the unsolvable, executing flawlessly, and doing right by his clients.

He has produced smart, insightful work for brands at the best advertising agencies in Boston, in just about every industry you can think of. Healthcare, financial services, food, beverages, technology, communications, retail, sporting goods, automotive, pharma, you name it.

His work has been recognized by Clio, Communication Arts, The One Show, and British D&AD. 

George Goetz
Creative Director/Copywriter
george@bonafidecreative.net

George has always put his clients first. Right after his wife, kids and a certain baseball team on Yawkey Way.

Subway appreciated this dedication. Especially when it helped them become the world's largest restaurant chain. He's also created transformative ideas for important brands like Harvard Business School, Lahey Health, The Boston Globe and many more.

His name has been called at all the major award shows. And at Yankee Stadium where, apparently, it's pronounced "#@&%!"
