hey there!
i’m nate.

I write for advertising (and sometimes other stuff) out of Toronto.

I’ve been lucky enough to be named to Strategy Magazine’s New Establishment, Applied Arts’ Young Bloods, and Campaign Magazine’s 30 under 30 Canadian advertisers & marketers.

When I’m not doing ad stuff I like to fish, watch the Leafs, and do other super normal things.

If you’re looking to chat, you can hit me up at: nathanhouseley@gmail.com, if not - I hope you have the best day🙏🏻.
