The best agencies start with creative. Not spreadsheets. We started Ray to get rid of all the layers and hierarchy (and bullshit). Unlike most agencies, our team is talent heavy with experience across a broad range of industries. We’re great listeners and down to earth people (just ask our moms).

tCAN

Ray is proud to be the Newfoundland and Labrador representative of tCAN – the oldest and largest network of independent Canadian agencies, from which we leverage resources and connect with specialists within the network including media, strategy, account service, digital, and creative associates. We have access to independent agencies all across Canada, US, UK, Japan, Europe, and Hong Kong. Not only does this mean that the most qualified people are on your job, but this model also reduces the overhead and bureaucracy associated with an office full of staff, allowing us to spend more money on the best talent.

Women Business Enterprise

Ray is proud to be a WBE certified business. Women Business Enterprise certified companies are at least 51% owned, and managed by women. We offer a diverse and inclusive culture, and an approach to business strategy that can make a huge difference to your bottom line. The next time you’re searching for that perfect partner, consider a women-led and owned WBE business like Ray.
