Graeme's Bio

Graeme Boyce is first and foremost a skilled communicator, and met Harold Balland, not once but twice. The first time in The Bunker, which is where he got (and still has) King Clancy's autograph. Along the way has also partied with Wendel Clark and Dave Ellett at The Left Bank, and used to have fun with Doug Gilmour when he lived in Toronto next to Boyce's best friend, and leadsinger of Random Killing, Drew Kiteley. Speaking of Wendel, when Ballard and Boyce met the second time, in the venerable Hot Stove Lounge, Boyce also had a chance to break bread with Russ Courtnall and Gary Leeman, to name a few.

Under the wide umbrella of Marketing, his corporate responsibilities have included researching, writing and presenting business plans to investors, launching and operating start-ups, creating and ramping new brands.

Boyce is also a published author, having interviewed hundreds of famous popular musicians in the 80s while at RPM Weekly and writing cover stories and articles. While enjoying a successful career in the management of people, companies and brands, he is also a creative writer, having written a script for a movie called Columbus Had A Map, and three (murder mystery) stories for the popular CSI board game.

Boyce delivers ensures goals are met based on sound business principles and proven marketing strategies. In 2001, he was voted onto Canada's Showbiz Wall of Fame. Over the past few years, Boyce has been working with a variety of marketing agencies, and most recently helped MapFusion merge with Global MainFrame to become Nextyvia, and is now a partner at Mindpress (dot ca) and Gray Rock Investments.

Awesome Graeme, So you're from the Toronto area eh, my uncle use to be a waiter down at the Greenwood Race Track, he use to hang out with Paul Nielson former Canadian Heavyweight, we met George once but it was a quick and busy meeting, just a hello and quick hand shake, met Thomas Kaberle and Gary Valk (I believe that was his name) got some autographs for the kids, So you met some interesting people and partied a bit...good times.

It's a little late but I thought I'd add my two cents regarding Joe Sakic's retirement. Please feel free to take a gander when you get a spare moment. Thanks.

Good profile Graeme.
I would like you to check out my write-up:"How I Met Harold And The King".

You mentioned Pat Borders: Indeed a fine gentaleman!

I worked at the Sydney Olympics arranging interviews for the baseball players and had a chance to talk to Pat and of course a baseball with his autograph.

I also noticed you are a Bobby Orr fan, my sister and Bobby dated for a while when he was with Oshawa Generals,.another fine gentleman.

I may add Graeme one of my prize possessions: Is a personal autograph picture of "Bill Haley and The Comet's".

Looking forward to your write-ups.

Take Care Graeme and a 'Merry Christmas" from Down-Under.
