Who we are 

BIMM is a Toronto-based agency that lives at the intersection of data, technology, and creativity to provide clients with high-performing campaigns and digital products that shape connected customer experiences. We’ve helped our clients implement fully integrated CRM customer journeys, built robust digital experiences, and created national loyalty programs with decades of experience in sectors of automotive, financial, telco and retail. 

We are creative realists, which means our ideas and solutions are grounded in the realities of our clients’ business. We believe big ideas are nothing without big results (and flawless execution); high-performing agencies deliver high-performing campaigns, products, and experiences; and the best solutions happen when we collaborate with clients as partners. 

Who we’re looking for 

You are passionate about amazing digital experiences, and constantly look to make those experiences better. Yes, you’re particular about every app you use and website you visit, and your friends and family don’t understand why it bugs you so much. You have been an integral part of conceptualizing, validating, and building a great product, either top to bottom, or certain features at a time, and you understand the importance of converting qualitative and quantitative data into winning digital experiences. You challenge stakeholders, developers and designers to push the limits of the technology and user experience to delight the user at every swipe.

• Conduct workshops with vastly different stakeholders, pushing for internal alignment with the client before committing to scope.
