Geneviève Faubert

Rep / English Canada & USA territories

Genevieve is creative and organized. Her professional experience extends from the Sport Fashion Industry to Advertising and from Photography to Communications. She has a College Degree of Arts and Letters with cinema and visual arts options, a degree of Publicity from La Cité Collégiale of Ottawa, and a strong experience in projects coordination, graphic design supervision and internal and external communications. Usually, she prefers to admire and analyze the creations instead of making them. Outside of work, when she’s not already busy publishing her moods and passions on blogs, she spends her time practicing sports, learning, playing guitar, going on a escapade or simply enjoying life. Determined to always aim higher and work in a world that fascinates her, she joins Colagene as a Rep and Business Development manager for the North American English territory.

Alexandra Adenor

Rep / Canada-French territory

After moving to Montreal, Alexandra began her university career in business administration and earned a bachelor's degree in marketing and international business from HEC Montréal. Her interests include economics and political science, but also art and literature. She has a keen desire to try new things, learn things, and build her own experiences with an established agency. She joined Colagene to handle development and marketing on one hand and projects management on the other hand. First she was in charge of managing editorial accounts for English Canada and the USA. Now she is in charge of all client accounts for French Canada territories.

Marie-Christine Brisson

Founder + Rep + Art Director

Marie-Christine knows how to give shape to her ideas, both the creative and entrepreneurial sort. Although she has had a long-time fascination with fashion design, Marie-Christine turned to painting to express her creativity. After several years of working as an artist, she decided to take on a new set of challenges and entered the world of communications. She earned a bachelor's degree in graphic design from the Université du Québec à Montréal and continued her studies in advertising and marketing. In 2001, she founded her own agency, Colagene, which allowed her to bring to life her own personal concept of visual communication. Over the years, she has built up a team of illustrators from all over the world, who distinguish themselves though the originality of their approach to design, their inventiveness, and the excellence of their work. Marie-Christine has a flair for finding custom-made visual solutions, and she has the gift of being able to find the delicate balance between the passions of her illustrators and those of her most demanding clients.

Vincent Sillard

Founder + Creative Director + Rep

One way to describe Vincent is "passionate." He feeds on images, architecture, fashion, graphic design, photography and, of course, illustration. Born in France, he studied for five years at the École supérieure d'arts appliqués Boulle in Paris before heading to Canada to finish his academic career at the Université du Québec à Montréal. After earning his degree in urban design and receiving further training in graphic design, Vincent partnered up with Marie-Christine Brisson in 2001 to found Colagene. In addition to being an agent for the illustration clinic in Paris, Vincent has also been the manager and artistic director of the graphic design clinic since its inception, managing a team of freelancers who carry out projects for Colagene in everything from Web design to print media.

Annie Alix

Agent + Marketing + Development

After studying administration with a marketing profile at HEC Montreal following a college course in economics, Annie jumps with both feet into the world of fashion to have the chance to revolve around a core of trends creators. Following this experience, she sees her thirst to work in conjunction with artists grow and evolve, wanting to follow in one way or the other the creation process and observe a work of art come to life and stand on its own. Passionate about all forms of advertising, visual arts and film, Annie seeks new learning experiences and aims to give the best of herself in the projects undertaken in her professional life. That's why she joined the Colagene team in Paris.

Armed with enthusiasm and ambition, the agency worked is charm on North America, followed by Europe. By popular demand, and supported by a growing number of partnerships, in 2008 Colagene opened a second branch in Paris, and a London office soon followed in 2009, with the agency setting its sights on new creative challenges. The resulting richness of its portfolio is the mark of a fresh and distinctive spirit, a special stylistic touch made possible by the inspiration and cultural influence of its members.
