We work collaboratively, advancing through iterative steps to develop work that communicates and delivers results.

How we work

Context Creative works hand-in-hand with clients to solve their toughest branding and communications challenges. Beyond award-winning creative, we formulate strategies, make tactical recommendations and apply design-thinking skills to deliver highly effective branding, communications and marketing programs.

We bring passion to our work, and work strategically to aim messages at hearts to change minds.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all world; to successfully engage audiences requires a unique blend of data, empathy, business and creativity.

We deliver a level of experience and service rarely found within creative firms. Our goal is to make a genuine difference, to add real value to your business. Work with us and you’ll gain a true partner: sharing your goals, working closely with you and building a productive, lasting relationship.

Our work goes “beyond beautiful” – we’re looking for commitment, for behaviour change, for actions that make a notable difference. In today’s super-saturated environment, only big ideas, fresh creative and relentless execution will cut through.

Sectors we serve

We’re experts in critical issues, communicating messages that are most critical to society and the economy.

Energy and Environment Open Accordion

Within the past five years alone, we have worked on more than 2,000 energy-sector projects. We have over 20 years of experience serving Ontario’s largest electric utilities, the Ontario Energy Board, the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) and others, offering a unique depth of understanding of the industry.

From omni-channel campaigns to communication strategy to website development, much of our work focuses on achieving energy-efficiency goals for programs funded by the Ontario government. Many of these were complex campaigns, involving multi-channels, stakeholders and highly segmented B2B and B2C audiences.

Healthcare and Wellness Open Accordion

As healthcare transforms, clarity is more important than ever. Faced with profound transformation, including digitization, an aging population and the biggest health system reform in years, clear communications are key.

With concise messaging and engaging creative, we help clients convey the most important health information, so that every Ontarian understands why it matters – and what it means for them.

Person-centric care has been at the heart of many projects we’ve contributed to, including the high-profile launch of the province’s Patient Ombudsman. From awareness campaigns and annual reports to branding projects and infographics, we make key data and insights more approachable.

Finance Open Accordion

Culture and Tourism Open Accordion

Canada has a culture that is both diverse and complex. At Context Creative, we embrace this richness with inquisitiveness and respect. Over the last 10 years, we have designed numerous and award-winning stamp series for Canada Post, celebrating everything from the Group of Seven to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Other highlights include our work with First Nations, Inuit and Métis organizations supporting the growth of Trail Tourism in Ontario, and several exhibit designs for the Archives of Ontario.

Education Open Accordion

As higher education becomes increasingly commoditized, universities are seeking new ways to differentiate programs, deliver value and strengthen connections with stakeholders and students. Over the years, we have worked with both higher institutions and non-profit educational organizations.

From large-scale websites to marketing campaigns and reports, we act as partners to help clients and their stakeholders lay order to complex ideas and projects.
