Graham’s true passion lies in developing killer ideas to expand your brand’s reach, especially when it comes to technological innovation.

He also really likes sneakers and probably has 57% more apps than you.

Jackson Murphy Creative Director

A writer with over a decade of storytelling experience, Jackson is passionate about evangelizing innovative technical, social, and creative solutions and applications that deliver serious results for brands. Jackson has a secret love affair with content of all types, and has never met a content management system he didn’t like – as long as they are WordPress or SilverStripe. Skilled at understanding client objectives and translating them into action, he always makes time for a good glass of pinot.

Sandy Fleischer Managing Partner

In his capacity as Managing Partner, Sandy’s responsibilities include strategy and agency growth. And he brings over 15 years of digital agency experience and an entrepreneurial spirit to the Pound & Grain team with work for clients such as McDonalds, SAP, AT&T, Electronic Arts, Sony Ericsson, Diageo, and Nintendo. In his secret other life, Sandy is known as DJ Pescatore, and has played to crowds across Canada, the US and Italy. On a good day, he can juggle
four tennis balls.

Tara Steinberg Managing Partner

As Managing Partner, Tara brings a decade of interactive marketing and project management experience to the table. She thrives on the details and finds ridiculous pleasure in bringing your products in on-time and on-budget. We refer
to her as the human social network, since she knows pretty much everyone. This comes in handy from time to time. In fact, before you finish reading this, Tara has probably already found you on LinkedIn, seen you on Instagram, and texted us about you.

Our DNA

how the sausage is made

We live by a few simple rules

Fine Grainy Mustard? Or handcrafted and highly original digital products? Both?

Welcome to the Origin Story of Pound & Grain. Back in the day apothecaries, the mixologists of all things good, had unique recipes based on very precise weights and measures. Turns out, a pound was 12 ounces, and every ounce had 8 drachms, and of course everyone knows that each drachm has 3 scruples right? Duh. Well, who knew that 3 scruples was also 60 grains.

So a pound was equal to about 5,760 grains. Of course it varied from here to the there - the South of France naturally enjoyed jacking up the ounces to pounds ratio as they do. For us Pound & Grain is about that pixel perfect precision and balance that we infuse in every project we work on. So that's the little story behind the name, Pound & Grain. 

We are located in Vancouver's Gastown.
