Taxi (Canada)

Taxi is a highly regarded creative agency with several offices in Canada, as well as the US and also now a growing presence in Europe. The business was founded in 1992 by Paul Lavoie, previously creative director at Cossette in Montreal and Toronto, along with several partners. It quickly established a reputation as one of the country's top creative agencies, picking up a string of awards and as well as five Agency of the Year accolades. A US outpost was launched in 2005, and in 2010 the group was acquired by WPP. It retains standalone status, aligned with Y&R Brands. Founder Lavoie remains chairman, with Rob Guenette as CEO.
