Extreme named one of Canada's top agencies

Marketing Magazine has listed Extreme Group among the top ten agencies in the country. The magazine’s editorial team selected the finalists based on the criteria of strategic and creative innovation, financial success and leadership. It is the first time an Atlantic Canadian based agency has been included as a finalist.

“If the enormous success Extreme has had since it began 10 years ago is anything to go by, the kids who rocked the boat on the coast will no doubt crack open a cold one, throw one hell of a party and stir up the waters in Toronto,” says Marketing Magazine.

“This has been an amazing year for Extreme,” said Paul LeBlanc, CEO, Extreme Group. “We’ve brought our decade of success here in Atlantic Canada to the Toronto market. It’s a huge accomplishment to us to have our story recognized by Marketing Magazine.”

In addition to securing new business with local clients such as the Atlantic Lotto Corporation, Workers’ Compensation Board of Nova Scotia and Golf Cape Breton, Extreme Group has won major clients in Ontario. In 2007 Extreme Group added Research in Motion, Cadillac Fairview, Country Style, The Incredible Country Hardware Store (TSC), and BDO Dunwoody to its roster.

“We’re not your typical agency,” said Shawn King, Vice President and Creative Director. “The things that have made us innovative and award winning here in Halifax will stay with us as we continue to break new ground.”

Marketing Magazine named Lowe Roche Canada’s top agency at the second annual Marque Awards held November 29 in Toronto. We send our congratulations to them and to all of our fellow finalists on a very successful year.
