AVENIR GLOBAL, the Montreal-based holding and management company of public relations and communications firms, bolsters its Canadian operations with the acquisition of Time & Space, one of Canada’s leading independent media agency headquartered in Halifax.
Founded in 1988, Time & Space holds an enviable reputation as a thought leader and go-to consultancy for innovative marketing and advertising solutions in Canada. The agency employs more than 40 people and has a diverse portfolio of work and clients at the regional, national, and global levels across multiple sectors. For over 35 years, Time & Space has been recognized for its entrepreneurial spirit and the passion of its team for creating success and value for its clients
This transaction reflects AVENIR GLOBAL’s ambition to continue expanding its footprint in Canada while bringing together the best resources to address its clients’ modern communications challenges. Time & Space’s expertise in consumer insights, paid media, and analytics will build on the service offering of NATIONAL Public Relations, AVENIR GLOBAL’s flagship brand in Canada and the largest public relations firm in the country with 9 offices and 300 employees.
Time & Space has been a consistent partner of NATIONAL for the past 20 years. The agencies share a history of successful collaborations resulting in award-winning work for multiple clients, including Medavie Blue Cross, CAA, and Tourism New Brunswick. The transaction will enhance this partnership, while allowing Time & Space to benefit from the reach and strength of both NATIONAL and the AVENIR GLOBAL network to grow and expand in Canada and abroad.
“The addition of Time & Space to our portfolio will provide our clients with access to the most comprehensive communications and advertising toolbox in Canada. Time & Space boasts an entrepreneurial spirit and values that align perfectly with our culture. We know that this transaction will provide great benefits to the clients of both firms, and lead to new business and growth opportunities across our global network,” said AVENIR GLOBAL President and CEO Jean-Pierre Vasseur.
Time & Space will maintain its brand identity and will continue to operate independently and serve its clients as part of AVENIR GLOBAL. The company will remain under the leadership of Founder and CEO Donna Alteen and President Shawn Lowe.
This alignment is a testament to both firms’ steadfast commitment to delivering exceptional services and unlocking opportunities for growth and innovation.
“We have consistently devoted ourselves to fostering success for our clients, empowering our dedicated team, and contributing positively to the communities we are privileged to serve. Joining the AVENIR GLOBAL family of distinguished brands propels us into an exciting future, solidifying our capacity to create a broader and more significant impact. As an organization, we are excited for the opportunities that lie ahead,” said Time & Space Founder and CEO Donna Alteen.
