ONCE UPON
A TIME&CO

A BIT OF HISTORY

When the company was conceived in 1969, as a creative typography studio, its DNA already contained the ambition to constantly innovate. Throughout its early life — and even more so today — this ambition inspired the company and the family of entrepreneurs who created and nurtured it.

At the dawn of the digital communications age in the 1980s, the agency emerged as a prodigy in electronic publishing and, subsequently, cutting-edge Web technologies.

In the new millennium, thanks to its acquisitions and perseverance, Tonik Groupimage grew its expertise, and became the first omnichannel studio (electronic production, Web, graphic design, media, event planning and photography). Able to provide its clients with a 100% integrated offering and turnkey service, the agency further strived to become a leader in omnichannel delivery.

Since then, Tonik Groupimage has taken its place as one of the largest independent agencies in Montréal offering integrated service. It’s expanding its marketing communications mindset, and focusing on creativity in all of its services. The agency provides experiences full of meaning and truth, in line with its clients’ progress and thrust.

IN 2017, TONIK GROUPIMAGE BECAME &CO CREATIVE COLLABORATORS. MORE THAN JUST A NEW IDENTITY, IT’S A REFLECTION OF OUR VALUES.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

THE&CO model relies on three markers that have always been part of its DNA: creativity, agility and guidance. Inspired by Aristotle’s maxim “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts”, &CO adopted an ideology based on collaborative effort and the human element: the name therefore symbolizes “together”. &CO is merged with its clients’ names, both equal in importance to them and entirely behind them, showing our complementarity and our drive to help them meet their objectives.

From our collective intelligence, varying insights come to light, pushing us to implement optimal solutions, from initial briefing to campaign deployment. At &CO, creativity is a culture. We believe in curiosity and opposing points of view.

THE WORLD INSPIRES US. LET’S INSPIRE THE WORLD.

Authentic, our transparency applies to everything from objectives to results. We’re considerate of others, and value the closeness between management, employees and clients. Trendsetters, we’ve taken our destiny in hand, with thoroughness and intelligence, and we’re able to change the rules of the game. Empathetic, we understand our clients in their entirety and complexity, and we work with them so we can foresee the challenges and, together, find both specific and overall solutions. Agile and proactive, we’re a single coordinated team working under the same roof, able to adapt to any situation.

This is what defines all our actions, words and campaigns.
