Edmond Huot

Forward Media / Chief Creative Officer and Partner

As a kid growing up on a farm in midwestern Canada, Edmond Huot spent countless hours lost in imaginative storytelling, obsessing over all things relating to aviation, architecture and illustration. His penchant for expressive design helped to lay a formative foundation for what would eventually blossom into a long career in brand advertising.

Edmond and longtime friend, business partner and entrepreneurial collaborator Peter Clark co-founded several companies in both Canada and the U.S.  Then Edmond rose to become the creative head of a New York City-based company comprising more than 20 advertising, design and public relations firms whose clients included Honda, TD Bank, Expedia, Singapore Airlines, Microsoft and Kenneth Cole Fashions.

In 2016, he shifted gears focusing his time and attention on revisiting his childhood passion for aviation and built a practice area in the airline space. Today, his creative outlook and point of view touch a range of bespoke services including brand design, PR, media, advertising and special events.
