What CANDICE&ALISON does

CANDICE&ALISON is a Toronto-founded event design and production studio, established in 2009 and operating from studios in Toronto and New York with claimed global service delivery across 35+ countries. The studio provides end-to-end event design and production services, organized around four service modules: core Event Design & Production, Immersive Environments (multi-sensory branded installations), Live Events (summits, galas, product launches, and large-scale public festivals), and Experiential Marketing Activations for luxury brands. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is a service-based, design-led creative practice that delivers bespoke projects under unified creative direction.

The studio serves a concentrated roster of premium clients across luxury/fashion (Chanel, Dior, Prada, YSL, Valentino, Giorgio Armani, Lacoste, Hennessy, Holt Renfrew, H&M), luxury automotive (Rolls-Royce, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, McLaren, BMW, Audi, Acura, Cadillac, Range Rover, Pagani), beauty (Rare Beauty, Sephora, Lancôme, L'Oréal, Kiehl's, Revlon, CoverGirl, Schwarzkopf), technology (Pinterest, Shopify, Google, Facebook, Etsy), financial services (TD Bank, Manulife), sports/entertainment (FIFA Fan Festival Toronto, Toronto Blue Jays, CFL), and nonprofit/foundation (Con Cora Foundation). Notable recent productions include the Rare Beauty Mental Health Summit and Foundation launch, the Pinterest Leadership Forum at The Casa Madera, FIFA Fan Festival Toronto, and the Con Cora Foundation Gala at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens.

The business operates on a by-appointment-only, sales-led B2B engagement model with custom, quote-based project fees and no publicly disclosed pricing. GTM is primarily direct, with inbound demand supported by an Instagram-led organic social presence that showcases completed luxury and corporate projects. The studio maintains a partner ecosystem including The Fifth Group (core co-production partner), Noble 33 (hospitality/venue), Paquin Artists (entertainment), and Loftent and One Twenty Eight (creative/technical production). Revenue, funding, and ownership structure are not publicly disclosed.
