時 Toki (jap.) : time, moment |

Founded in Montreal in 2020, Maison Toki is a creative infrastructure that connects emerging artists, agencies, and brands through structured, ethical, and collaborative solutions. We facilitate local connections and cultivate lasting relationships to support talent development.

As the agency for agencies, we build the invisible foundations of creation, management, production, representation, and brand strategy to strengthen the operational and strategic capabilities of creative teams and unlock their artistic excellence.

We offer quality visual content (photo, video, storytelling) tailored to the needs of local businesses and brands, with a keen focus on narrative, aesthetics, and impact.

Inspired by the Japanese word Toki (time, moment), Maison Toki promotes a balance between rigor and expression for a more equitable, inclusive, and strategic creative future.

Our Role

Maison Toki brings together creative production, artist representation, and strategic consulting. Based in Montreal, we combine organization, creativity, and personal support to help artists, brands, and agencies grow within a sustainable professional ecosystem.

Our goal: to enable creators to focus on their art while building a stable and internationally recognized career. Thanks to our cultural and commercial network, we connect them with opportunities aligned with their vision and values.
Production Infrastructure

Comprehensive services: art direction, shoot coordination, location scouting, post-production, and team management. We help agencies, brands, and cultural institutions create coherent and meaningful visual content. Maison Toki, a B2B creative infrastructure, optimizes production for greater efficiency, quality, and collaboration.
Partnerships and B4B Development

Maison Toki operates as B4B (Business for Business), creating tailored partnerships with agencies, cultural institutions, and brands, both in Canada and internationally.
