Francesca’s 24 year career lead her to launch Take2 Productions in 2019. Prior she worked at Havas Worldwide, one of Canada’s leading ad agencies. She started as Coordinator and left as Head of Production & Executive Producer. Along the way she was invited to spend time as a part time faculty member at Centennial College where she imparted her knowledge to future Producers.

During her time at Havas she was credited for developing and implementing a streamlined production process, and content model for Havas that proved invaluable. If she wasn’t actually producing the work she supervised a production team and the daily operation of a full service Edit Suite and an in house content company.

Launching Take2 Productions allowed Fran to explore new challenges, like adding Activations & Experiential Marketing to her portfolio. Most recently producing an “Amazing Race” style event which took participants through remote parts of the city, and then a Neo-Noir Carnival themed experience in Dundas Square, both to launch a new series for Amazon Prime.

Over the years she’s worked on almost every category you can think of, from Packaged Goods, Automotive, Pharma, Alcohol, Household Brands – to Government. She’s travelled across countries and continents to make ads.

With a reputation for taking charge, Francesca offers a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the world of all things production, and an incredible talent for stretching budgets and making the impossible happen!
