thinks

Our beliefs

Collectivism

Relationships we cultivate are built on trust and the removal of boundaries between people and disciplines.

Celebration of creativity

We elevate our creativity to deliver work that matters.

Strategic thinking

Creativity should be rooted in actionable data and best-in-class strategy, leading to solid business results.

Integrated production capabilities

From branded content and digital solutions, to experiential activations and architecture, we have one of the largest in-house teams of builders in the industry.

Agile thinking and making

Unless an outside partner can do it better, we do it ourselves.

Commercial creativity^TM

We pioneered this approach over 20 years ago by embracing all business-focused creative disciplines and ignoring the traditional boundaries that cause siloed thinking between crafts. It’s our commitment to seeking best practices instead of the same old patterns.

story

The story of Sid Lee is a story of embracing change

In 1993, two university graduates with no money, no portfolio, and no job prospects founded their own advertising agency. This agency has repeatedly changed itself over the years to better adapt to consumers, technologies, and markets.

From Diesel to Sid Lee, from local advertising agency to global creative service firm with world-renowned clients like Cirque du Soleil and adidas, from one Montreal office to six international offices around the globe, Sid Lee’s mission has always been to produce work that is ambitious, impactful, and relevant.

cares

Act on what really matters for people and our planet

Social responsibility is part of our mission to create what matters. We act based on our values and believe in our ability to do good for our community and our society. To that end, we also encourage our clients and partners to do their part. We look optimistically towards the future and, even though we’ve still got a long way to go, we’re improving and taking steps in the right direction, collectively.
