Places

Some brands live at the heart of causes or products and services. What’s distinct about destinations is that the brand experience is so intrinsically linked to place. The ancient Romans had a name for the unique spirit of a place: genius loci. That “genius” – including a locale’s physical environment, its communities, values, history, culture, and aspirations – all shape these brands in powerful ways. Here’s a map of the terrain where we’ve been working with clients to bring their genius loci to life…

Experience World Heritage in Canada

World Heritage experiences reflect humanity’s most inspiring achievements and nature’s most extraordinary environments.

Canada is home to 20 UNESCO World Heritage sites, an international honour only given to places recognized for their universal importance to all humanity. These global treasures are as unique as Egypt’s pyramids and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Canada’s World Heritage experiences also include 12 “tentative list” candidates, destinations that are officially recognized for their potential to achieve World Heritage status.
