Panoply Media has appointed former former Bell Media executive Forest Kenney as Senior Media Partner, Atlantic Canada, advancing the agency’s strategic expansion across Canada and strengthening its presence in the region.
Based in Halifax, Kenney will lead Panoply’s business development efforts in the Maritimes, helping brands connect with audiences through integrated digital, out-of-home (OOH), and broadcast media strategies. His appointment deepens Panoply’s regional expertise and reinforces the agency’s commitment to serving Atlantic Canadian clients with locally informed insights and execution.
“Forest brings an exceptional combination of leadership experience, regional knowledge, and deep industry relationships,” said Bobby Destounis, President and Co-Founder of Panoply Media. “As we grow nationally, being truly rooted in the communities we serve matters deeply to us. Local senior leadership enables us to build trust, better understand each market's needs, and grow alongside our clients.”
Kenney joins Panoply after five years at Bell Media, most recently as Regional Sales Manager for Atlantic Canada, where he led a team of 25 and delivered integrated, multi-channel campaigns across a broad range of industries. He recently completed his term as President of Canadian Progress Club - Halifax, where he remains on the Board of Directors. Earlier in his career, he held marketing roles with several B2B and B2C organizations, including Molson Coors.
“It's an exciting time to work and live in Atlantic Canada, with such an abundance of growth and innovation,” said Kenney. “Panoply’s approach to media strategy is well-suited to businesses looking for cost-efficient, connected solutions, and I’m eager to help bring that to more organizations across the region.”
Headquartered in Montreal, Panoply Media delivers media strategy, planning, and execution across consumer, pharma, entertainment, and other sectors, helping leading brands achieve measurable impact in an increasingly complex media landscape.
