“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Randy many times. Regardless of the challenge he’s given, he always brings tremendous passion and talent to the project and consistently finds fresh and memorable ways to engage consumers.

Randy’s creativity seems to know no bounds. He’s one of those very rare creative people who can write, art direct and direct. His talent in all areas of expertise has been recognized with countless national and international awards.

Despite all that, Randy remains one of the most self-deprecating people in the business.

His creativity, smarts and wonderfully dry sense of humour make him a delight to work with.”

“If not for his aspiration that everyone should be a Maple Leaf’s fan and the assumption that nothing in life is more important than golf – he is a joy to work with. Blessed with an infectious sense of humour – he is an exceptional writer and director who seems to visually tell a story and direct talent in the most practical simplistic manner, that when edited is brilliant. Randy’s manner in a pitch and on set makes the process effortless, collaborative and memorable – where you look forward to the next project. ”

“As an award-winning director, it’s Randy’s overflowing creativity and larger than life sense of humour that makes him a gem. He pushes creative boundaries and breaks through them with an end product that shines every time. His humorous approach does and amazing job at building camaraderie, which makes the process and the product that much better. He writes and directs with fluidity, and when he pitches ideas, everyone listens as though he’s a hypnotist.

I’ve often told him that he easily transforms a 7 into a 10. His humble nature likely knows that, but because he checks his ego at the door, he never acts like he does.

I’d highly recommend him when your marketing needs more than just a bit of extra oomph. Even if you think it doesn’t, he’ll astound you with ideas that’ll show you why it does.”

“Marketing within our industry is not an easy task. There is nothing sexy or glamourous about refractories so needless to say, Randy and his team really had their work cut out for them.

We needed a lot of great ideas to get our audience to think about insulation and we wanted them to think about high temperature environments in a new way.

Randy took the time to really listen to us, to learn about our industry, but most importantly was eager to showcase how we value people and their ideas both in the workplace and with our trusted partners. His openness to ideas and sense of humour made the project fun and painless. He captured our philosophy in all the deliverables and unexpectantly even motivated us to think about refractories in a cool new way.”

“Randy was born and bred in Toronto. But that’s okay, everyone has to start somewhere. I suspect he was really born here in Newfoundland but kidnapped and spirited away by gypsies at a tender age.

How else to explain his sense of humour, keen eye and way with words? What else were we to do with this shy and slyly engaging storyteller but to anoint him an honorary Newfoundlander?”

“Randy Diplock is not only one of the most talented directors I’ve had the pleasure of representing, he’s also one of the very best human beings I’ve ever met. A straight shooter who doesn’t even try to shoot bull, he communicates with honesty and precision and relates equally well with the CEO as with the truck driver.

All with a disarming sense of humour that reduces anyone within earshot to tears of laughter. He’s simply a joy to work with.

But his high calibre cross-capability as a director, copywriter and an art director is the trifecta that truly sets him apart. And way too modest to cite the litany of awards he’s won in all three arenas.”

“Working with Randy isn’t work.”

“Randy is dynamically creative, highly-experienced and multi-talented. His ability to effectively push creative boundaries results in unique, memorable messages that captivate audiences. He’s professional with a relaxed, congenial style. His humorous approach builds camaraderie, which enhances the process and the product. His passion will engage you, his modesty will impress you.

The project is created in a stimulating process, on time and with creative ideas that will astound you.”

“Randy has been great to work with. Ontario Pork was embarking on a new branding strategy and he had the skill and expertise to help us through everything from brand development to advertising creative. He added value to our strategy in ways we hadn’t considered before.

Randy’s ideas are definitely out of the box and left of centre. I would highly recommend him for his creative genius and ability.”
