We’re creatives and business people moving
to the same beat.
to the same beat.
We’re a boutique branding agency, engaging a select number of clients that allows our senior partners to be involved in each client mandate, ensuring a best-of-breed experience and thinking partner each time out.
From initial brand concept to digital implementation, we cover the entire marketing landscape to give our clients a seamless approach to help drive their business.
Rooted in the culture of Montreal, First We Brand bridges the gap between design studio and strategic agency, helping our clients grow through research, exploration, market-driven thinking and of course beautiful design.



Guiding Principles
Knowledge
We are in the business of knowing you, your business, the market and the trends. We are constantly learning.
Transparency
We are straight shooters. We will always give you our real thoughts and opinions, not impose them!
Balance
Creativity and business should never be mutually exclusive, finding harmony between the two is how we help clients succeed.
Collaboration
No one knows their business better than you, the owner, marketing director, team lead... We value everybody at the table and it takes that group knowledge to win.
