The Garden Agency

The crazy talented Jenn Kittmer - Group Strategy Director at The Garden - is leading an Account Planning Group of Canada - APG Canada Workshop where she’ll be sharing some of her own secret sauce for running highly effective workshops. We’ve seen her in action and can verify that this is a wise investment 💵. Check out below for details👇

So excited to be partnering with the Association of Registered Graphic Designers (RGD) on the theme & identity for #DesignThinkers2025. In “ShiftShapers” we encourage #designers to question their perspectives, and embrace shift, movement & fluidity in their work. Because if we’re going to shape the industry, sometimes we gotta flux it up. 🫧♾️ Make sure to sign up for the Vancouver & Toronto #conferences for your own perception interception (and to see our design IRL!).

Congratulations to all of our partners at Glassroom and to the Metro Inc. team. Another example of the power of entrepreneurship and independence:) https://lnkd.in/g9gfGJ-8

Enjoy some holiday nostalgia and over-the-top Christmas decor at Jack Astor's Bar and Grill this season and you’ll be helping to make a child’s Make-A-Wish Canada dream come true! And if you need a little nudge from that holiday icon, Ralphie: “Let's face it, most of us are scoffers. But moments before zero hour, it did not pay to take chances.” https://lnkd.in/gPCPPTGm

Look what John Frieda made us do. 💫 Kao Corporation Blondie’s in town, so you know we had to have some fun. We took over Union Station & the Gardiner to catch Swifties heading to the Rogers Centre – sending them on an easter egg hunt to see if they can spot all our hair-care eras. Check out the DOOH campaign downtown, up for a Fortnight only! 😉 Client: Kao Corporation Brand Manager: Monique Milewska Assistant Brand Manager: Sara Pardo  Associate Director: Lori Bianchi Agency: Chief Creative Officer: Shane Ogilvie  Chief Strategy Officer: Shari Walczak  Executive Creative Director: Lindsay Eady Executive Design Director: Adriana Ivory Director of Strategy: Jenn Kittmer  Senior Art Director: mriga suchdeva Senior Copywriter: Nuala Murray Business Lead: Delaney Brough Project Lead: Lauren Publicover  Animator: Kathy Tidy  Retoucher: Brandon Dyson
