About

As a multidisciplinary agency Tamarack solves business problems with a creativity-first approach; always working with our core values in mind:

All Hail

In the monarchy of marketing, creativity is king, queen, and everything in between.
Less is More
Quality before quantity, creating with intention, not simply for attention.
Evolve or Die
Dark, but true. Change can be scary, but it’s good to be brave.
F*ck Fakeness
Tell real stories in reeltime – or made-up ones in slow-motion – but do it well and do it authentically.
Like an Undercut
Professional work in casual attire, we know how to have fun, but underneath, we’re all business.
Good People
The kind who cares about a positive work environment because teamwork makes for dreamwork.

What We Do

CREATIVE

It can be a seedy business. But strong roots make all the difference.

The most compelling campaigns begin with strong strategies and thoughtful ideas. We work with you to thoroughly understand your challenges, then get to work coming up with solutions through creative strategies, stunning visuals, messaging, and the telling of your company’s unique story. Making sure the soil we’re starting with is rich with insights allows fresh, strong concepts to come to life.

PRODUCTION

Put some bark in that bite.

Our favourite part might be making it real (or reel, depending on the project). Photo, video, graphic and web design, activations, merchandise, the list goes on, but we’re here to get the job done – whether it’s a full treehouse build or a classic rope swing install. Our internal team brings a wealth of expertise in addition to our network of crazy-talented specialty contractors, who we tap as needed.

ADVERTISING

First, the tree. Then the forest.

As they say, if a tree falls in the forest… The same applies to your creative and content. Without a smart media buy and distribution plan, your campaign is out on a limb. We handle traditional media planning, buying, earned media, and paid and organic digital distribution (social, Google, online). Most importantly, we measure your return on investment with bang-on reporting and analytics. Because what good is great creative if nobody sees it?

The Studio

While our home base serves as a hub for creativity with a studio, event space, and truly good vibes, we aren’t rootbound by our small-town origins – we explore widely, creating and being inspired by the world at large, and have the capacity to sprout seedlings in markets as needed.

The Tamarack stands out from the rest of the crowded forest, bright, vibrant, growing, and ever-changing with the seasons and challenges they may bring. And that is what we stand for – creating solutions for our clients that are adaptable to their needs, that stand out and can evolve and grow with them. Whether you’re a tree connoisseur or not quite sure about the difference between deciduous and conifer, these are the traits we chose when we selected our namesake.
