Our Values
About ISM
Since 2006, the ISM brand has been active at the edge of the fast-evolving creative industries and technologies of this era. In 2019, a pivotal point in time and innovation, ISM Arts & Culture Ltd. was established as a provincial corporation in BC, Canada aiming to unlock the power of arts and culture to drive impact in business and society using ISM's creativity in an interdisciplinary cross-sectoral approach housing strategic partner, creative agency, and incubator arms.
As a creative consultancy with a proven track record of delivering programs and services for a variety of influential and trend-setting companies, it became one of Canada's Designated Organizations in 2023 and established the SUV stream as a special program under its incubator.
In 2024, ISM again re-captured the depth and breadth of its activities by re-positioning as ISM Creative to continue contributing to positive impact in the world of innovation.
