Marketing Services for Indigenous Nations and Organizations
We help First Nations, Inuit, and Métis clients connect with the communities and people they serve through websites, branding, and marketing.
Your Organization Has a Story. We Can Help You Tell It.
There’s always important work happening in your organization and community. And making sure people know about it, understand it, and engage with it takes time and care. As a full-service marketing and creative agency, we’re here to make that part of your work easier.
With nearly two decades of experience working with Indigenous Nations and organizations across Canada, we approach each project as a partnership. We understand the importance of leading with curiosity and respect, and we’ll work closely with you to ensure your project reflects who you are and where you’re going.

More Ways We Can Help
As a full-service marketing and creative agency, our team can also help with marketing campaigns, social media, video, photography, and more.
Our Indigenous Consultation Process
We understand that many Indigenous Nations and organizations communicate with community members, funders, governments, and the public.
Our consultation process helps us understand the people your project needs to reach and work with you to create something that reflects their needs and perspectives.
-
Researching Community:
We aim to understand the culture and what’s important to the community we’re working with. Every community and its members have unique customs, traditions, and values. We work closely with them to listen, learn, and use their guidance as we explore resources.
-
Building Relationships:
Above all else, building relationships has been a keystone of Vincent Design’s work on Indigenous focused services. This involves informal meetings, and participating in community events like naming ceremonies for new initiatives.
-
Identifying Collaborators:
We consult with community leaders to identify and connect with elders who have the appropriate knowledge and authority to guide the project. We ensure diverse perspectives are represented within the project group.
-
Open Dialogue in Collaboration:
Creating safer spaces for discussion where project participants feel comfortable sharing their insights is critical to our work and the collaborative process. We listen carefully and welcome input. Rather than pushing our own ideas, we focus on understanding different viewpoints and then enhancing and building on those concepts.
-
Consent and Acknowledgment:
Getting consent to use cultural elements ensures elders and knowledge keepers are recognized in the final result. We respect any boundaries they have about sharing their knowledge, and ask thoughtful questions to understand how we can work together respectfully on the project.
-
Concluding Reflections:
After the project is completed, we share the outcomes and acknowledge all contributors publicly. We reflect on the consultation process, gather feedback from the elders and project participants on how it could be improved for future projects.
