We Are Tamm, Hear Us Roar...

This Saturday, the brightest young minds in Canadian advertising (ours, of course) will showcase their genius for the chance to compete on a world stage in Cannes, France at the International Young Lions Competition.

We proudly announce our own Young Lions: “Hot Liquid” (Dan & Kiley) PRINT category “Team Strikeforce” (Andrew & Eric) PRINT category “Cobra Command” (Stacie & Richard) MEDIA category

In the spirit of ‘friendly’ competition, two design groups will compete against each other in the Print category: Dan comments: “I chose Kiley as my teammate because we work very well together.” Andrew: “I chose Eric as my teammate because we want to actually win.”

Employees becoming partners in Tamm Communications

As Tamm approaches its tenth successful year in business, we are delighted to announce that we are in the process of creating an Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP). This plan will put 49% ownership of the company in employee hands over the next two years. Studies have proven that employee ownership is one of the best strategies you can employ to ensure long-term health and growth of a company. When employees feel they are true partners/ stakeholders in the business, not only does this give them an opportunity to create real personal equity, it changes how they view the company and their role. “When the staff can see and feel the direct benefit of their good work, good things happen,” says ESOP guru, Perry Phillips, who we have engaged to guide us through this complicated process.

At Tamm, we already believe we have a strong committed team of motivated experts. The ESOP will only enhance an already first-class team, which will naturally benefit our valued clients.

If we think of our life as an effort to fly always just a little bit higher and reach a goal that's just a little bit beyond our reach, we are faced with a question: How high can any of us go by ourselves?"
