Today's Forum Crew feature is Katherine Stewart, Account Director & Principal at Forum. What's your School/Career history? I started my career in communications at a financial PR agency in London, England. I was thrown into the deep end when I joined the Oil & Gas team there and felt like I gained 5-years of experience in 2-years. It was hard and awesome.... How do you spend your time outside of work? These days, my outside of work time is spent walking my dog, doing my Peloton workout, watching Netflix, reading as well as eating and drinking far too much with my family and friends. Your favourite book? The Red Tent - Anita Diamant Favourite place you've ever visited? Bruges, Belgium - I was there when I was 18 and it still stands out in my mind as being one of most special places I've ever been. Portrait shot by @trevor_lalonde

We're very proud to publish a new case study on Exum Instruments! Our team was tasked with developing a brand that the Exum team could confidently launch to secure their unique position in the biotech space. Taking inspiration from Exum's product design and purpose, we created a distinctive aesthetic that separated their tools from other scientific instruments. ... The largest expression of the brand lives on the website, and incorporates subtle motion animation and illuminated effects. With the support of a new brand and website, Exum is making a seamless transition into full commercial sales. We're excited to see what they do next! See the full case study at studioforum.ca

Now is a great time to dig into a good book (or 5!) and our team has been doing just that to stay sane during these interesting times.

Now is a time to practice gratitude, and we want to do our part by sharing some of the ways that our clients have made our lives a little brighter. Energy Safety Canada (ESC) is the national safety organization for the oil and gas industry in our country. We been fortunate to work with this group for the past 5+ years and have launched hundreds of projects together. The group over at ESC are uber smart, get sh*t done, don’t sweat the small stuff and they make us laugh oftenw...e so appreciate that! Their all female comms team is always respectful, even when they respectfully disagree with us, and are all ears to new ideas and approaches. ESC is a true part of our Forum family, and we love working with them.

Now more than ever, being surrounded by people who make your project, your Zoom call, or your lunch time walk around the block a little bit brighter, are the ones we need the most. This is a weird time for us all, so thank you to our clients and colleagues for the extra laughs and compassion these days. We value the 'ones who get it' beyond measure right now!
