History
Founded 1 September 1959 by Dalton Camp as CAMP Associates, the name was changed to Axmith McIntyre Wicht in 1992, and then in 2008 to Agency59, to reflect its founding year
Industry recognition
Much of the agency’s early work was focused in the areas of tourism promotion and challenging social issues. It created the ‘yours to discover!’ slogan for the province of Ontario, (adopted in 1979), as well as ‘The World Next Door’, (1984-1994), used to promote Canada in the U.S.
Landmark social issue campaigns include the long-running ‘Know when to draw the line’ campaign for by Labatt Breweries of Canada and the anti-tobacco campaign featuring Heather Crowe, developed for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
In 2009, artwork for the agencies' "Live Green" campaign was chosen by the United Nations to appear on direct mail postcards being distributed in several European cities to promote the UN’s environmental initiatives.
Agency59 was among the first Canadian shops to have its creative product acknowledged at major award shows internationally. The agency’s ‘magic truck’ campaign on behalf of Interac Association has been favourably reviewed by a number of media commentators for what P.J. Harston of Sun Media termed “its simple, timely and well thought out approach”.
Other major clients include Telus, Mercedes-Benz, Swanson, Duncan Hines, Vlasic Pickles, the City of Toronto, and Stewardship Ontario, the organization behind ‘blue box’.
Locations
Agency59 is located at 1910 Yonge Street, M4S 1Z5, Toronto, Ontario.
