About

Strategy meets storytelling.

Hi — I'm Caryn, a Toronto-based marketing and communications professional graduating from Toronto Metropolitan University in 2026 with a BComm in Marketing Management (Finance minor) and a 3.8 GPA.

I co-founded Levitate Co., a Canadian marketing agency managing multi-client campaigns, and have worked with brands like Molson Coors, Rogers Communications, Farm Boy, and UAE luxury groups. My work spans experiential activations, press release writing, corporate sponsorship, GA4 analytics, and content creation — always at the intersection of creative vision and measurable outcomes.

I'm especially drawn to roles where brand strategy has real business stakes — from media pitches to live consumer activations.
