We create brand experiences you can touch.

Founded in 1987, C3 is an industry-leading design and brand marketing agency with years of experience creating connections with customers, from families with children to Gen Zers. We provide insights, strategy, creativity and supply-chain expertise to build smart marketing programs around fully custom products, like kids’ meal toys, collectibles and other branded entertainment. 

We design and produce brand experiences you can touch — and that’s more powerful than a marketing message alone. A C3 product ignites a moment of joy and creates brand loyalty that lasts.

We think like an agency.

From research and positioning, to messaging and branding, to award-winning creative, we translate our clients’ brands into something tangible.

The big debut. 1987. Generic enough to accommodate a fast-evolving start-up.
Circa 1990. Not sure what we were thinking. I guess it was the energy of youth?
Circa 1995. Streamlined & ready for the big time.
2012. A new look for an era of increased polish and professionalism.
