Blammo Ammo
You can only get to unexpected solutions if you work in unexpected ways. The Blammo difference begins with our special breed of talent. We don’t just hire designers, art directors, writers, strategists. We hire eclectic, diverse minds - photographers, filmmakers, pastry chefs, DJs - as these are the kinds of people that spark unexpected ideas and invent bold and imaginative solutions.

The stuff we do
Here’s where you typically read some ‘blah blah blah’ about integrated models and proprietary research tools. But the way we look at it, there are already enough ad agencies ‘synchronizing a confluence of 360 - degree thinking for massively integrated results.’ Blammo is different. How? Glad you asked.
Blammo is more than an ad agency. Rather than rely on the same old bag of tricks, our creative solutions come in various colours, shapes and sizes. With a truly eclectic mix of inspiring thinkers, including filmmakers, photographers, chefs, DJs and even a Juno award winner, we pool our talents to invent the unexpected - the kind of fresh strategic insights, creative expressions and connection points that will have the biggest impact on the brand experience.
Blammo is advertising. Blammo is digital and social media. Blammo is store and product design. Blammo is branded content. Blammo is finding the most novel and effective methods of enticing consumers to become more intimate with our clients’ brands.
