Bob Macdonald

President & CEO


Bob’s been at the helm of our business since 2001. Under his leadership we’ve grown in size, strength, skill & whiteboards. You’ll find his long held belief in loyalty in every aspect of our work and play. You’ll also find him asking questions, sharing insights and exploring ideas. It’s this hunger for knowledge, coupled with a strong vision, that’s helped lead Bond to the forefront of digital and human experience marketing. Bob likes to roll up the sleeves. But he’ll also roll out a great story. He knows loyalty. And he inspires it.

Bob first walked through our doors 20 years ago. His experience has seen him work globally with Fortune 500 brands including IBM, Ford, Scotiabank, Johnson & Johnson, The Home Depot, Cineplex/SCENE, BlackBerry & more.

Bob’s a champion for corporate social responsibility and has served on several boards including Altruvest Charitable services, Northmount School and the Ontario Science Centre’s board of trustees. In 2012 Bob became a member of CORE (Conserve Our Rural Environment), a local organization formed to respond to environmental threats in rural areas. Under his leadership our team has donated time, resources & dollars to Parents for Better Beginnings and The Mike Pinball Clemons Foundation.
