Marc Reyer Grant
- Writer
Marc Reyer Grant's career has been based around the written word.
While at University, taking an English major/Film minor, he worked at the Manitoba Indigenous Cultural Education Centre, flying to Northern Manitoba reservations, working with elders to write and direct videos re-educating indigenous youth in such skills as making bannock or skinning a moose. Later, as a stringer for the Winnipeg Sun, he made their front page breaking a story on Tallinn/Ritalin - "poor man's heroin" - abuse in a home for senior citizens.
Following graduation, Marc freelanced for local radio stations and advertising agencies, before becoming a copywriter for Foster/Marks Advertising. Rising to Senior Writer, he was recruited by CBC Manitoba to become a Communications Officer, doing, among other things, writing commercials for shows and special news reports.
Next, Marc accepted a contract to become Creative Director for the Bytown Group in Ottawa, where he wrote several videos, guides and ads for the tech sector. Following his contract, Marc broke away to reconnect with family, but maintained consultation and freelancing. In 2005, he made the Quarter Finals of the BBC New Talent Writing for Television competition, until disqualified for being Canadian.
Marc now works in politics, freelancing, and writing scripts.
