What No Fixed Address does

No Fixed Address Inc. (NFA) is a Toronto-based independent creative advertising agency founded in 2016, operating with a headcount of 51-100 employees. The firm provides full-service integrated advertising across four pillars: Creativity, Design & Content; Strategy & Innovation; Experiences & Connections; and Business & Impact. Its offering spans brand identity development, integrated campaign creation, content marketing, social media activations, out-of-home advertising, website/app development, and performance media planning and buying.

NFA serves a mix of challenger consumer brands (Field Roast, DoorDash, Questrade, Turo, Greenfield Natural Meat Co., Maple Leaf Foods), nonprofit organizations (The Terry Fox Foundation, Canadian Centre for Child Protection, The Canadian Real Estate Association, NPR), and startups (DOKI DOKI). The agency's work is primarily creative and strategic rather than technology-driven, with no core software platform or proprietary product; senior leadership has publicly positioned AI as a workflow tool rather than a replacement for creative judgment. NFA monetizes through project-based and retainer professional services engagements with enterprise and nonprofit clients across North America, generating documented outcomes including media impressions, earned media value, sales lifts, and brand-trust metric improvements.

The agency has accumulated industry recognition including 4 Cannes Lions, Digital Agency of the Year, two PR Agency of the Year awards, and multiple Webby, LIA, ADCC, CMA, and Applied Arts awards, and is led by co-founder Rachel Lai alongside CSO Zach Klein and VP of Creative Technology Darrin Patey. There is no evidence of external institutional investment, private equity ownership, or public listing in the available source material.

• NPR (National Public Radio)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 3 March 2026NFA created NPR's 'For Your Right to be Curious' campaign - the first alteration to NPR's logo in its 56-year history. The campaign transformed NPR's iconic letters into 'how,' 'who,' and 'why' on billboards across Washington D.C., New York City, and Chicago, as well as across social media and video. The campaign serves as a public defense of journalistic inquiry and democratic curiosity amid congressional rescission of public media funding.
