The office was named one of the 100 Best Workplaces in Canada by The Great Place to Work Institute, it saw year-over-year revenue growth of 18% and client wins like Behr Paints, SAIL and Mitsubishi.

The agency’s award count for the year was also up, increasing by 90%. Industry nods included winning CASSIES Awards, MIAs and getting two shortlist mentions in Cannes.
