Cossette
Talented
People

Here at Cossette, we're committed to recruiting top talent from the industry — talent we then nurture and nourish by providing an engaging and fulfilling work environment that ensures we attract and retain the very best people, and that we're always working to be seen as the 'employer of choice' in our field. 

As a close-knit community of experts, People from Cossette, we create success by focusing our combined thinking and creativity on improving the way people connect and communicate. And by embracing a deep commitment to integration and innovation. We call it Live Engagement, our highly adaptive proprietary method for turning ideas into results; our clients call it smart. 

Live Engagement is a proven process powered by four basic characteristics.

We're HUNGRY.

We thrive on challenge. We're relentless in the pursuit of new insights, deeper inspiration, more comprehensive knowledge, and are continuously hunting for innovation and the cutting edge.

We're GUTSY.

We have the confidence to speak our minds and we have the courage to take action. Thanks to our entrepreneurial nature, we take intelligent risks, together, in partnership with our clients.

We're READY.

We always do our homework. We think and work strategically so we can be perpetually engaged in the moment. We place heavy emphasis on planning, which gives us both a long-term perspective needed to act and the ability to react more quickly in the short term.

We're FAMILY.

Our success is based on interdependence. We share a common vision and work as a cohesive, integrated team with clearly defined roles. We also share a unique heritage and enjoy a quality of professional life unlike any other.

Entrepreneurial
Culture
Cossette has always played by its own rules. It's what makes our culture unique; one built on a foundation of independence, innovation and fearlessness. This entrepreneurial culture has spurred our growth and defined our success. And it keeps us HUNGRY for more.

Our entrepreneurial culture has been a game changer from the start. After just two years, Cossette strayed from its Quebec City roots and ventured into the much bigger and highly competitive Montreal market, which was, and still is, considered the hub of Quebec's advertising industry.

Our boldest entrepreneurial move took place in 1999, at a time when most other large, Canadian-owned advertising agencies were aligning with multinational partners. Once again, Cossette bucked the trend by remaining independent and going public to secure the financing it needed to fuel expansion into international markets.
