Cossette

Cossette is a Canadian full-service creative and communications agency founded in 1972 in Quebec City by Claude Cossette. Over five decades, it has grown into one of Canada's most awarded and recognized creative shops, with offices in Toronto, Montréal, Halifax, Vancouver, and New York. The agency offers a comprehensive suite of services including brand strategy, creative development, media planning and buying, digital marketing, data analytics, and public relations, serving major national and international clients across a wide range of industries. Cossette has built a strong reputation for culturally resonant, award-winning creative work, particularly in the Canadian market. Its client roster has included marquee brands such as McDonald's Canada, General Motors, BMO Financial Group, and various government and public sector clients. The agency is known for blending strategic rigour with bold creative execution, positioning itself as a premium partner for brands seeking meaningful consumer connections. From an ownership perspective, Cossette was acquired by Vision7 International in 1995 — a holding company co-founded by its own leadership — and subsequently became part of BlueFocus Communication Group's global network in 2017 when BlueFocus acquired Vision7. In 2021, the Vision7 group of agencies, including Cossette, was rebranded and reorganized under Plus Company, a new holding entity designed to foster collaboration among its member agencies. Cossette continues to operate as a distinct, active brand within the Plus Company portfolio.
