Students from a variety of programs including Advertising, Public Relations – Corporate Communications, Marketing, Graphics, Broadcast Media, Journalism and Photography collaborate in developing real world marketing and communications solutions for selected businesses in the greater Hamilton area.

“Simply put the Agency at Mohawk College produces the most professional ready students I have ever had the pleasure of working with.”
Graeme Davis, Bruha
“Being a for-profit start-up company with access to very limited resources, the opportunity to work with the Agency program continues to be a grateful experience. The program itself is exemplary in educating the next generation of employees and leaders to the real obstacles companies face in today’s world."
