                                            The zig story


The Zig truth is they create "ideas in their most powerful form." A strong statement that sums up what

they are about. It is the idea that counts, that one courageous and bold thought that captivates an

audience and calls them to action. It is the idea based on strong strategic thinking that can turn a

company into a partner, a possibility into a triumph. This is the cornerstone of the Zig philosophy and

the binding principle that they live by. It is the reason why they exist and why they are successful.


The success did not come easy, in 1999 Andy Macaulay, Elspeth Lynn and Lorraine Tao were at a

crossroads looking down the path they saw a chance to strike out as partners at their own agency. Andy

pitched them his idea to start an agency and in May of 1999 they were off and running. At the start of

this venture Andy was the business guy with Lynn and Tao the creative core. Since then Zig has grown

from a small 3 agency shop to a world recognized and award winning full service communications

company. Now they have a diverse array of clients such as Ikea, Toshiba, Unilever and Corus

Entertainment among others. So what does it mean to Zig, the definition from merriam-webster’s is one

of the sharp turnsi and that is what Zig was when it began for the three of them. It was a perilous change

in direction a chance to live or die by their own sword and not only have they survived since opening,

they have thrived.

                                                                                                          3

                                                 Culture

They have thrived because of the culture they have built

based on the precident set by its partners. Zig is a 125

strong agency with 110 headquartered in Toronto and 15

in Chicago. Zig’s success is a testament to the creativity

and business savvy of everyone involved. In the heart of

Toronto’s Entertainment district and their office seems
                                                               A new Zig office opens up in Chicago
                                                               formally Hadrian’s Wall
more like loft than an actual office which is indicative of

the culture they exude. The casual space on the lower level has a fuzzball table that calls to anyone

walking past. Right by there is the infamous black leather couch offering the weary a soft place to rest.

This is a couch with a history, Lynn and her then boyfriend Rob Guenette now President of Taxi bought

the couch in the early 90’s now it is home of the sleepy at Zig’s offices.ii This is a space for everyone that

is a way to maintain the intimate agency feel in an agency of 125 people across two offices.


Zig is a take off the full agency model with a unique management system. Katrina Limbaugh, The

Director of Corporate Communications says that Zig is a very open place. They have no formal

departments, and the silos of a traditional agency have been taken down leading to an inviting culture

where creativity can flourish. Within Zig they try to erase the lines between departments where ever

possible. This has meant that there is a lot of overlap among the traditional disciplines allowing ideas

and insights to come from anywhere and everywhere.iii To the uninitiated this may come across as

insanity but to those who live in the maelstrom, it is an organized chaos that has served them well. It

also allows for people with different positions to learn more from others making everyone better

equipped to handle the challenges of the business.

Things got even more chaotic when in 2004 having grown so much Zig became an MDC Partner’s

company and acquired a 49.9 percent stake in the firm. What this means is that Zig is a private company

owned and operated by its partners with MDC Partners having a minority stake in the company. MDC

Partners is a portfolio of agencies and marketing companies that are leaders in the industry. These

companies provide strategic and innovative solutions to their clients. This added Zig to a long list of MDC

companies the likes of Crispin Porter + Bogusky, BOOM Marketing, Colle McVoy and many others

totalling 37 in all as of 2008. This partnership would help accelerate Zig’s development and provide the

foundation they needed to expand.


                          In 2006 Zig continued it accelerated growth with their entrance into the US

                          market via the acquisition of Hadrian’s Wall in Chicago. Their philosophy is do

                          good work for people you likeiv and Kevin’s Lynch relationship with Andy

                          during their time at Roche Macaulay & Partners made this a natural fit. In June

                          2008 it was announced that MDC Partner Companies ACLC also located in

Toronto would merge with Zig and operate under the Zig banner.v According to Katrina what this has

done is add some real depth to the digital resources and capabilities of Zig in the form of Push

Interactive. Push did Toshiba’s Ask the Sherpa at http://www.askthesherpa.ca/ as a way to hype Toshiba

Canada's Satellite A300 and Qosmio laptops while Zig’s in-house media group drove people to the site.vi

                                                                                                            5

So why join with ACLC? ACLC’s strong client partnerships are a perfect match to Zig’s creative vision and

this will allow the new combined firm to produce more integrated campaigns and offer a more complete

packages to all their clientsvii. The new Zig retains the clients from both firms to create a stronger and

more effective agency moving forward. Every day is a day for ideas and this is now a time of change for

Zig. This merger has lead to positive change at Zig and will allow the firm more capacity to offer a

complete range of services from media planning, strategy or digital, the merger blows open the doors of

what is possible.


Media

From digital to media as a full service agency Zig has its own dedicated media people who have ability to

plan and buy media for their clients. They also work with a client’s pre-existing media partners. They will

handle media in the way that makes the most sense for their clients with their media capability

enhanced due to the incorporation of ACLC’s strong media platform.viii


This is the who’s who of zig?
                         zig?

The creative staff is broken down into teams and accounts are assigned to different people. Steve Carli a

Managing Director is responsible for their US clients and Kevin Lynch Partner and Creative Director is

responsible for creative in their Chicago office. With Christian Mathieu Managing Director in their

Toronto office managing several accounts, he is fluent in three languages and can speak client-ese a rare

gift in great demand at an agency. ix Cameron Wykes, is Zig’s digital guru, the all knowing one when it

comes to the digital space and is the leader of Push Interactive Zig’s digital arm.


Along with him this past April Martin Beauvais became the Executive Creative Director for Zig a new

position at the firm where he is responsible for overseeing all creative at the company. “Reporting to

Beauvais will be Aaron Starkman and Stephen Leps, creative directors in Toronto who oversee the


                                                                                                             6

Molson account, Kevin Lynch, creative director in Chicago, as well as Lorraine Tao and Elspeth Lynn,

agency partners who scaled back their creative director duties to do account work as a creative team in

2006.”x He will be able to support their operations in Canada and help Kevin manage the growth in their

US office. This requires care because he will be managing some of the very partners in the business

which is unique to Zig. How this will unfold will be of interest to many inside and out because of the

move’s precedence.xi His appointment shows this is a relationship that is working. While everyone else

moves right they go in their own direction and march to the beat of their own drum.


The drum is beat by Zig’s leaders who have set an example for everyone at the firm, and impute it with

their distinct way of doing things. In this business and at Zig it may be about the idea but ideas come

from the people, they are the magic makers. While Zig may lack departments here is a listing of the

leaders of Zig and their positions with a brief bio on 4 of them.

                                                    Bios

Andy Macaulay is a founding partner of Zig, he was a former partner and Director of

Strategic Planning with Roche Macaulay & Partners. He has lead Zig to be one of the

brightest agencies in the country with Ikea, Best Buy and Toshiba as part of his client

list. In addition to that he holds a commerce degree from Wilfrid Laurier University.xiii
                                                                                                          7

            Ellen DeGeneres has called one of Aaron Starkman spots her favourite and he has won or

            been nominated from everything to a D&AD Sharpie and a Cannes Lions. When he isn’t busy

            in the business he is probably watching a baseball game with his kids.xiv

If Elspeth Lynn is the emotion then Lorraine Tao is the rational and together they are the

creative dynamo of Zig. They are often profiled together as halves of a whole. First

meeting at Leo Burnett in Toronto they joined Andy Macaulay in forming Zig in 1999 after

a short stay at the now extinct global ad agency Ammirati.xv Lynn will be moving to the UK and Briony

Wilson of DDB Dallas will join the fun at Zig as Lorraine’s partner.

Cleo’s and The One Show Art Directors Club, Communication Arts and others Zig has gained recognition

and well deserved awards for much of its work based on the idea.

                                                   News

The spark is at the heart of what has made Zig tick and there is

always something going on be it a client presentation, a new

creative mind entering the fray or a challenge to meet. The ad

industry is that lives and dies by the unexpected and for Zig it

means doing things their own way. Zig has operated a blog

where Andy, Christian and a few others put their thoughts on the business letting the public and those

interested ad people know their insights. The last post was during the summer and since then it has

remained silent and as of October 24, 2008 the zlog at zigideas.blogspot.com was taken off their site and

is no longer accessible to the public.


                                           In September Zig launched a new multi-media platform

                                           campaign that was build upon the success of their mattress

                                           spots that have the headline “So comfortable you’ll need shorter

                                           bedtime stories. It appears in October’s issue of Style and

                                           Decormag. This campaign will include rich digital ads on major



                                                                                                            13

portals with television spots highlighting Ikea’s bedroom furnishings. This is an example of their ability to

tackle more integrated campaigns since their merger with ACLC.xxvi


                                        Recent Account Wins

Every agency is always on the lookout for new clients and here are some Zig’s recent wins. Zig turned

another sharp corner when it was tapped by the New Democratic Party

of Canada for the fall election. This was Zig’s first time in political

advertising although Andy did note that several staff members had

worked on previous campaigns.xxvii One of their ads called “a new kind

of strong” focused on attacking Harper on his stands on the issues. In October Elysian Hotels and Resorts

a luxurious resort company made Zig their agency of record. After a review they will launch their brand

on a global scale starting with their flagship property in Chicago.xxviii


On July 16, 2008 Zig landed the Astral Media Radio account. Zig will create a multimedia campaign for

their Toronto radio stations and work on rebranding their national network of stations. When they got

started with the campaign with their “We Need to Talk” Initiative was a

guerrilla outdoor campaign that showcased sensitive issues like “Is

Toronto a world-class sports city – at losing?” and others.xxix This

showcased the stations ability to tackle the issues and was a unique

way to get the word out in a way that got Astral Media noticed.


                                  In early 2008 Zig was tapped as the agency for Eaux Vives Water Inc. for

                                  their Eska bottled water campaign. Unless you are from Quebec you

                                  probably don’t know about the Eska brand, but it launched in 2007 in

                                  Quebec and Zig has been helping them to brand more broadly. They

produce Canadian natural spring water with an underlying concern for the environment. xxx

                                                          question?
                         To zig or not to zig that is the question?

Everyone always wants to know what makes your agency, your business different than everyone else. At

Zig they refuse to be put into a neat and tidy box, it is the culture and the people that make any agency

different from the next. At Zig this is apparent because they live by example. For Lynn and Tao they had

to become managers when they wanted to be the creatives, this meant that later they had to let some

responsibilities go so they could get back to the creative tag team they are known for.xxxi Zig is an

adaptive agency that is on the move, the recent merger with ACLC has meant that this is not the same

only Zig but a new and stronger one. Their challenge will be on maintaining the culture and creative

vision while being able to respond quickly to the changing conditions on the ground and of their clients.


It all comes back to the idea, the work and the magic. That is what has set Zig apart from the rest. The

thought and insight, the creativity and execution, how they collide and interact is what has made Zig

what it is today. This is a place of organized chaos, where every day a tornado comes to ground and

whereas most businesses would collapse in that environment Zig is able to thrive, in the chaos they are

able to harness that energy and turn it into genius. To Zig means to take a sharp turn and that is how

they run their business, guided by their principles, not limited to the expected and every day turning out

creative gems that help their clients to succeed.

  • 3. zig ideas in their most powerful form Toronto Headquarters Chicago Office 296 Richmond St. West, Suite 600 848 West Eastman St., Suite 204 Toronto, Ontario M5V 1X2 Chicago, Illinois 60622 p: 416-598-4944 p: 312-587-3333 f: 416-593-4944 Founding Date: May 1999 Employees: Number of Employees 125 Parent Company/Affiliation: An MDC Partners company The zig story The Zig truth is they create "ideas in their most powerful form." A strong statement that sums up what they are about. It is the idea that counts, that one courageous and bold thought that captivates an audience and calls them to action. It is the idea based on strong strategic thinking that can turn a company into a partner, a possibility into a triumph. This is the cornerstone of the Zig philosophy and the binding principle that they live by. It is the reason why they exist and why they are successful. The success did not come easy, in 1999 Andy Macaulay, Elspeth Lynn and Lorraine Tao were at a crossroads looking down the path they saw a chance to strike out as partners at their own agency. Andy pitched them his idea to start an agency and in May of 1999 they were off and running. At the start of this venture Andy was the business guy with Lynn and Tao the creative core. Since then Zig has grown from a small 3 agency shop to a world recognized and award winning full service communications company. Now they have a diverse array of clients such as Ikea, Toshiba, Unilever and Corus Entertainment among others. So what does it mean to Zig, the definition from merriam-webster’s is one of the sharp turnsi and that is what Zig was when it began for the three of them. It was a perilous change in direction a chance to live or die by their own sword and not only have they survived since opening, they have thrived. 3 zigideas.com
  • 4. zig ideas in their most powerful form Culture They have thrived because of the culture they have built based on the precident set by its partners. Zig is a 125 strong agency with 110 headquartered in Toronto and 15 in Chicago. Zig’s success is a testament to the creativity and business savvy of everyone involved. In the heart of Toronto’s Entertainment district and their office seems A new Zig office opens up in Chicago formally Hadrian’s Wall more like loft than an actual office which is indicative of the culture they exude. The casual space on the lower level has a fuzzball table that calls to anyone walking past. Right by there is the infamous black leather couch offering the weary a soft place to rest. This is a couch with a history, Lynn and her then boyfriend Rob Guenette now President of Taxi bought the couch in the early 90’s now it is home of the sleepy at Zig’s offices.ii This is a space for everyone that is a way to maintain the intimate agency feel in an agency of 125 people across two offices. Zig is a take off the full agency model with a unique management system. Katrina Limbaugh, The Director of Corporate Communications says that Zig is a very open place. They have no formal departments, and the silos of a traditional agency have been taken down leading to an inviting culture where creativity can flourish. Within Zig they try to erase the lines between departments where ever possible. This has meant that there is a lot of overlap among the traditional disciplines allowing ideas and insights to come from anywhere and everywhere.iii To the uninitiated this may come across as insanity but to those who live in the maelstrom, it is an organized chaos that has served them well. It also allows for people with different positions to learn more from others making everyone better equipped to handle the challenges of the business. 4 zigideas.com

What this means is that Zig is a private company owned and operated by its partners with MDC Partners having a minority stake in the company. MDC Partners is a portfolio of agencies and marketing companies that are leaders in the industry. These companies provide strategic and innovative solutions to their clients. This added Zig to a long list of MDC companies the likes of Crispin Porter + Bogusky, BOOM Marketing, Colle McVoy and many others totalling 37 in all as of 2008. This partnership would help accelerate Zig’s development and provide the foundation they needed to expand. In 2006 Zig continued it accelerated growth with their entrance into the US market via the acquisition of Hadrian’s Wall in Chicago. Their philosophy is do good work for people you likeiv and Kevin’s Lynch relationship with Andy during their time at Roche Macaulay & Partners made this a natural fit. In June 2008 it was announced that MDC Partner Companies ACLC also located in Toronto would merge with Zig and operate under the Zig banner.v According to Katrina what this has done is add some real depth to the digital resources and capabilities of Zig in the form of Push Interactive. Push did Toshiba’s Ask the Sherpa at http://www.askthesherpa.ca/ as a way to hype Toshiba Canada's Satellite A300 and Qosmio laptops while Zig’s in-house media group drove people to the site.vi 5 zigideas.com

The drum is beat by Zig’s leaders who have set an example for everyone at the firm, and impute it with their distinct way of doing things.

  • 15. zig ideas in their most powerful form question? To zig or not to zig that is the question? Everyone always wants to know what makes your agency, your business different than everyone else. At Zig they refuse to be put into a neat and tidy box, it is the culture and the people that make any agency different from the next. At Zig this is apparent because they live by example. For Lynn and Tao they had to become managers when they wanted to be the creatives, this meant that later they had to let some responsibilities go so they could get back to the creative tag team they are known for.xxxi Zig is an adaptive agency that is on the move, the recent merger with ACLC has meant that this is not the same only Zig but a new and stronger one. Their challenge will be on maintaining the culture and creative vision while being able to respond quickly to the changing conditions on the ground and of their clients. It all comes back to the idea, the work and the magic. That is what has set Zig apart from the rest. The thought and insight, the creativity and execution, how they collide and interact is what has made Zig what it is today. This is a place of organized chaos, where every day a tornado comes to ground and whereas most businesses would collapse in that environment Zig is able to thrive, in the chaos they are able to harness that energy and turn it into genius. To Zig means to take a sharp turn and that is how they run their business, guided by their principles, not limited to the expected and every day turning out creative gems that help their clients to succeed. 15 zigideas.com
