Trampoline

About Us

Trampoline is anything but an ordinary marketing communications agency. Our approach is personal, and long-standing partnerships are where we shine. Purpose often trumps profit; we’ve turned down some pretty big jobs that didn’t sit right. And when it comes to the work, our agency of diverse talents makes for an integrated powerhouse—with strategy, creativity, media and technology all coming together to connect our clients with their intended audiences.

Based in Halifax, collaboration is one of the key values we hold close as we believe it creates the most powerful work. We have a beautiful large, open space overlooking the Halifax harbour, which allows us to stay safe and distant from each other as we need when we are together in the office.

Our mantra is to be a force for positive change in the region. While we’re anchored to Nova Scotia, our mission extends beyond people and place. This positivity inspires us at every level. We’re proud of how we show up: in the office, in our community and beyond.
