3. PHIL CAMINO VP OF STRATEGY AND PARTNERSHIPS
Philip brings a wealth of experience to this team. After a successful stint as
the Director of Finance at his alma mater, Bishop's University, where he
gained experience booking talent and concerts for the student population,
Philip was immediately hired at SL Feldman (slfa.com) in Toronto. He
quickly rose to the position of agent, booking top talent such as Kardinal
Offishall, Obie Trice, Sum 41 and Sloan, while maintaining a small, boutique
roster of his own. He was intrigued by the marriage between brands and
art, and left to pursue his passion for marketing, partnering into a small
marketing agency, where he worked very closely for the next few years
with major record labels, working on such projects as The Killers, Snow
Patrol, Billy Talent, Buck 65, Hard-Fi and Paul Anka.
Philip was then approached to manage a North American music program for the Jack Daniel's brand at the
Hive Strategic Marketing (thehiveinc.com), where top talent such as Spoon, Blue October, The New
Pornographers, G-Love and Metric played exclusive private shows for contest winners, in a Jack Daniel's
branded environ- ment. Philip was then approached by Rogers Communications, the largest telecom brand in
Canada, to run the wireless marketing in Toronto. He excelled and was quickly promoted to Director of
Marketing, Ontario Region for Rogers Wireless. Philip developed numerous properties and campaigns while at
Rogers, most notably working to build a branded music festival in downtown Toronto, the Rogers Picnic
(rogerspicnic.com). He also worked very closely with all handset manufacturers, including Blackberry, Nokia,
Sony Ericsson, Samsung and Apple. He was instrumental during Rogers' 2008 iPhone 3G launch in Canada, and
also helped successfully launch the Blackberry Pearl, Curve and Bold into the Canadian marketplace. Philip is
currently a partner in both The Hudson in West Hollywood (thehudsonla.com), and also a growing
entertainment company, Embrace (embracepresents.com)
