We work with leaders of small to mid-size studios that know success comes from engaging audiences through original creative thinking. We help them attract the kind of clients they are looking for and gain a competitive edge through marketing and communications strategies designed specifically for them.

OH! is our favourite expression. It’s a sound and a word. It expresses the joy of discovery; a kind of revelation that takes the form of a vocal burst.

In texting OH means “other half,” which we also like. As marketing and communications consultants, we think of ourselves as the other half of your business – the part that takes your good work and presents it to potential clients in the best possible light.

We formed OH!&Co because we are passionate about architecture, design and all things arts and culture-related. Leveraging over 50 years of expertise in both not-for-profit and commercial sectors, we develop sound, insights-based marketing strategies and advanced excellence in content creation.

Our clients are business-to-business companies, firms looking to attract individual clients, and organizations seeking new audiences. Whether you are a brilliant entrepreneur looking for your own individual edge or a growing creative office in need of a brand refresh, we can help.

We bring together strategic marketing and communications to help you attract the kind of clients you want – the ones who share your values, vision and creativity.  

Just as there are multiple ways to promote your business, there are just as many options for us to engage with you. No two clients are exactly the same. Our services are always customized to fit your needs, and when more specialized support is required we can call upon our personally vetted and trusted network of experts.

A few of our recent clients whose brands we’ve helped amplify by creating an insights-based marketing strategy and taking an editorial approach to visual and written storytelling.

Collectively we bring you over 40 years of expertise and a vast network of creative talents from around the world.
