No Fixed Address asks you the same thing the founders asked themselves, “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”. For Dave Lafond, Rachel Lai, and Shannon and Serge Rancourt, the answer was to start a marketing agency that bucked all conventions. They operate under the maxim “no fixed approach, no fixed hours, no fixed hierarchies... because there’s no common approach; each client and campaign is fully unique. Everything can change if there’s a willingness to evolve.”
Insider tip: Come to No Fixed Address with ideas that don’t quite fit the mold and see what they can do.
5. John St.
John St. says their mission is to make “our clients’ brands unignorable. We use insight, analytics, intuition and sweat to do it. But we mostly use sweat.” They’re not wrong — the work and commitment this agency puts into their creative campaigns is next level. They also cover the spectrum of social media, digital media, and experiential marketing.
At John St., you’ll see the team live by a simple — but true — mantra, “People hate advertising. People love ideas.”

The & Partnership brings “ideas and technology together to power brands and businesses.” It’s a full-service advertising agency that has consistently punched above their weight, from startup to finish. They take an extremely collaborative approach, even setting up on-site teams within their clients’ marketing departments to keep the lines of communication open.
