Today we launched Octane Media, a new independent media planning and buying company. Brown has joined forces with David Stanger, one of Canada's leading media strategists, to bring our clients an even greater depth of intelligence and insight on the media front.

Octane is a high-performance, full-service media company, a member of the DSA Media Network with offices across western Canada.

Ken Christoffel, President and CEO of Brown, together with David Stanger, President of the DSA Media Network, are Managing Directors of the new firm.
