Trampoline is a full-service marketing, branding, advertising, web development and mobile agency headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia. [1] The firm was founded in 1988 and originally named Page & Wood. The agency was renamed Trampoline Creative Inc. in 2004 and has operated as Trampoline and Trampoline Branding. [2] [3] In 2018, Trampoline publicly launched Twist by Trampoline, an agency within the agency dedicated to smaller businesses that wouldn't typically work with a larger agency. Late in 2018, Twist purchased BITS Creative agency, [4] fully staffing itself to offer significant digital and web services beyond what Twist and Trampoline offered in the past.
