Which agencies in Toronto have Creative and Account leadership championing ideas that are risky, strategically and artistically sound so their clients can and DO feel comfortable in their discomfort?

John st. Rethink. Cossette. But all agencies do their share of hard working stuff in addition to more risky ideas.

OP out of curiosity, why leave nyc/d5 for toronto?

haven’t worked there but check out Cossette Taxi and BBDO as well. feel free to dm

I’m sure the creative and account leadership are the issue... you’re only as good as your clients’ ambition.

Most of the work we do is not comfortable or “safe”. Some of it has it be but we don’t tend to attract clients that don’t want to be pushed. We are heavily strategy and design led, so it’s in our nature.

@ss1 not all of our work is public. We do a lot of biz transformation and we can’t always talk about it. Also a lot of long lead projects. Admittedly we do only a small percentage of marketing but tons of digital product and branding work and strategy that pushes clients pretty far.

👌👌👌
