Takt

Takt is a Canadian brand and digital agency that calls itself the Architects of Impact. It works across product design, brand strategy, web design and development, marketing campaigns and branded content, with offices in Vancouver, Toronto and New York, serving organizations in healthcare, education, finance, SaaS and professional services.

The agency describes itself as a full-service creative consultancy that shapes brands and digital experiences around purpose. Its work model is built on strategic integration, meaning one strategy runs through identity, website, marketing and content rather than each being sold as a separate project. Takt also operates a family-of-agencies structure in which specialized sub-brands, including Takt Studios, share one vision, and it says it favors purpose-driven and underdog organizations at moments of change. Teams are cross-disciplinary, and its stated working principles include cultural resonance with the audiences that matter most and agility in collaboration.

• Product Design and Validation: UX design and product testing
• Brand Strategy and Identity: positioning, naming and visual identity
• Web Design and Development: brand websites and redesigns
• Marketing and Campaigns: campaign planning and rollout
• Branded Content: editorial and content production
