Independent full service agency Cummins & Partners has launched in Canada, opening up shop in Toronto with global CEO Sean Cummins splitting his time between the Toronto and the New York offices.

Cummins, who was born in Toronto before moving to Australia aged 10, opened the agency in New York last May, before expanding to Sydney in January this year following the agency’s Vodafone account win.

“Canada has a very talented creative pool, the market is very similar to Australia’s, plus it’s a country to which I still feel very much connected,” said Cummins. “I’m excited for the agency I launched to make an impact in the country where I was born. It feels like I’m coming home.”
