Brian Levine has 20 years of experience working with leading brands, professional sports leagues, athletes, event properties, national sports federations and all levels of government. Brian founded Envision S&E in 2012 with the goal of helping clients transform BIG ideas into reality. Nearly a decade later, Envision S&E has become a leading Canadian athlete sports marketing agency with a growing consultancy practice. Brian’s infectious enthusiasm in helping clients envision success and mobilize the necessary resources to realize goals is what drives him to this day.
Prior to founding Envision S&E, Brian worked in the Canadian office of IMG, one of the world’s leading Sports & Entertainment agencies, with clients including the Canadian Soccer Association, Stars on Ice and Toronto Fashion Week.
Retained by Athletics Canada in 2010, Brian helped pioneer the creation of a new National Track League. He was also the driving force behind the Toronto International Track & Field Games, having led corporate sponsorship, government relations, marketing, communications and community engagement for the meet from 2010 to 2013. In 2009, Brian led sponsorship and the TSN partnership for the Usain Bolt headlined Festival of Excellence Track Meet at Varsity Stadium.
Brian also worked at the Canadian Football League and Wakeham & Associates Marketing, a sponsorship and venue naming rights consultancy boutique. Brian is married with two daughters and as such he may not have the time he once did to train and compete in triathlon across Canada and around the world but there’s a good chance that on your next call with him, he might be cruising on his bike while he mulls over the next big client project.
