Top Studios To Work With In Atlantic Canada

As a future graduate of CAM Institute of Design, we know that heading out into the world of job hunting can be a daunting task. Finding an employer who shares your values and passion for design in a company that supports and nurtures your creativity might seem overwhelming, but we’ve got you covered. Here are our top five picks of design studios we think hit the mark in terms of creativity, industry standards and workplace culture in the Atlantic Canada region. While our list is by no means exhaustive or in no particular order, we thought it might be helpful to take a look at some of the things you might want to consider when looking to work with a creative design studio.

1. The Ginger Agency With a motto like ‘Work Hard, Be Nice’, this full-service digital marketing agency believes that happy employees produce better work resulting in happy clients and ultimately a better business. With studios in Fredericton and Saint John, NB this growing agency has produced digital advertising campaigns for notable clients such as the Harvest Jazz Festival and The NB Business Council. And, with just over 10 years in the business, The Ginger Agency recently joined The Canadian Agency Network (tCAN), Canada’s oldest and most extensive network of independent advertising, marketing and communication agencies. Why does this matter? Because we think being part of a team that values learning and sharing creative ideas with other leading designers from across Canada, fosters growth as a designer. We should also mention the company donates 5% of their time and profits to community non-profit agencies.

2. The Details is another full-service creative agency located in Fredericton, NB that made our top picks list. Whether working with small businesses or large-scale government campaigns, this marketing and design studio prides itself on providing clients with the intimacy of a small agency but with all the knowledge and expertise of a larger studio. With only four employees it has handled design campaigns for Graystone Brewing, Theatre NB and St. Thomas University. From packaging and branding to print and web design, this agency does it all. But what really stood out to us, is how much they value client collaboration at every step of the process.
