FINISHING SCHOOL

We Build Brands With Purpose



Finishing School is a community-led creative agency for the now. We work with nonprofits, social good organizations, and purpose-driven brands to help them show up in ways that resonate — loudly, clearly, and culturally.

75% of our campaigns directly involve contributions from early-career talent from underrepresented communities earning a fair wage for their work.

We’re a mix of seasoned veterans and future talent. Young minds with a pulse on what’s hot, backed by experienced mentors who’ve been there. Together, we create work that drives connection, sparks conversation, and drives impact.

Whether you're trying to shift perception, mobilize a community, or elevate your story, we help you show up meaningfully and authentically.

Let’s build something that gives back to the people and gets you noticed.

About Us

Who We Are
Finishing School isn’t just another marketing agency. We’re a social-impact studio rooted in mentorship, community, and multiculturalism.

We work hand-in-hand with nonprofits, grassroots initiatives, and mission-driven companies to create work that inspires real-world change and delivers direct impact. And we don’t do it alone. We bring early-career creatives from those communities into the process, valuling their contributions and helping them gain the skills they need to thrive in a historically inaccessible industry.

We believe that culture doesn't trickle down, it starts on the ground and rises up. Our dual mission is to elevate the causes that matter and to equip the next generation of creatives to lead the way.

We’re not chasing clout. We’re chasing impact. That’s our recipe.

Our Previous Work

We partnered with TH3RDSPACE to help deliver low cost graduation photos for students facing financial barriers — a project aimed at making sure every graduate could mark their milestone with pride. From creative direction to on-site support, Finishing School worked alongside the TH3RDSPACE team to bring this community-driven initiative to life.
Smile for Sache
Camp Recap
We produced a social video that followed a group of young men from across Toronto on their first trip up north — capturing real moments of community-building, connection, and reflection in nature. Shot with a nimble team to keep things honest and intimate, the video tells a powerful story of brotherhood beyond the city’s disconnected neighbourhoods.
Toronto Raptors
Community Impact Strategy
We worked with the Toronto Raptors to help evolve how the organization and its players approach community impact. We developed a flexible, team-wide strategy that empowers players, coaches, and staff to show up authentically and collectively. For individual players, we created a customizable model that aligns with their unique passions points and personalities, making it easier for them to connect with causes they care about in a meaningful and authentic way.
The Remix Project
Photography Workshop
Working with The Remix Project, we delivered a hands-on photography basics workshop for young creatives looking to sharpen their image-making skills. Focused on practical tips, creative exploration, and real-world application, these sessions was all about helping emerging artists build confidence behind the lens and take their craft to the next level.
When House of XM needed last-minute content support for their Oatmeal Crisp activation, we stepped in to provide both a photographer and videographer on short notice. By tapping into our extensive creative network, we helped them capture key content that later became a part of their PR and media outreach.
