We are The Show and Tell Agency. With 100 years of collective history as members, launching our new agency brand at The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce Luncheon was an obvious choice. Thank you to the Chamber and all those who joined in celebrating with us! theshowandtellagency.com

Canada’s oldest advertising agency rebrands as Show and Tell Show and tell isn’t only for preschool. It’s a big part of Canada’s oldest advertising agency. So much so, the company has rebranded and is now called the Show and Tell Agency. “This was the second-mo...

In the combined 160+ years both of our legacy agencies have existed, we’ve rebranded clients hundreds of times. But rebranding our own agency? Probably the hardest thing we’ve ever done.

In the coming months, you can expect to hear from us via social and email as we serve up new Show and Tell content. For now, we wanted to share a few words from our agency principals, Marty Fisher and Peter George, on why the rebrand and what it means to us.

In partnership with Economic Development Winnipeg and Travel Manitoba, we are thrilled to participate in the launch of Winnipeg's first place brand: “Winnipeg: Made from what’s real”.

There are many facets and possibilities to Winnipeg, which is why the logo is open for interpretation. Is it a sun for our optimism? A cog for our industrious roots? Is the “W” and “M” for Winnipeg and Manitoba? Up to you. And we felt it was important that the new identity called out to the history and connectivity of the city.

The hundreds of people we spoke to (along with Probe Research) told us Winnipeg is authentic and real. Warmth, vitality, passion -- that's what it's all about. The tagline and logo speak to that core.
We are excited to be part of Winnipeg’s next chapter.

We've had a love affair with the arts for as long as we can remember. Our relationship with Manitoba Opera goes back a long, long way.

Year after year, we have been proud to support this venerable Manitoba institution with creative, design, copywriting and account services. And our co-CEO and president, Peter George, has sat on MO's board for years.

Today, we celebrate another milestone as we cheer on the organization's 50 years and participate in the redesign of a new logo and brand identity. The new identity celebrates the power of voice and has a contemporary, forward-looking feel. It features references to sound and how the company has resonated year after year.

Here's to the next 50! 🥂
