We’re brand specialists with collaboration at our core
Founded in 2012 in Amsterdam, Rise’s journey began servicing multinational brands headquartered in Europe. When the agency moved to Toronto in 2015, we maintained our key client relationships and built a multidisciplinary team that embraces a truly collaborative approach to branding and communications. Each project at Rise is a co-creative experience—where your vision and industry expertise meet our passion for storytelling. The results are brand-led, insight-driven stories that are compelling and impactful, and deliver on your strategic objectives.
