About Éminence

Éminence is first and foremost the story of a passion.

Origin

Early on in his career, Renaud Margairaz was faced with a great challenge. The family business, founded by his great-great-grandfather, goes into receivership. Renaud then dedicates a year to assisting his father, head of the company. Following this experience, a strong will emerged within him: to help leaders navigate complex internal and external communication challenges, which they must often address alone. After the company officially comes out of receivership, he decides to leave Switzerland and pursue new opportunities in Quebec.

Renaud founded Eminence Branding in 2016, in Montreal. He quickly surrounds himself with a multidisciplinary team, moved by the same belief: in order for communications to be effective, they must be human and authentic.

At Eminence, our motto is simple: to create quality work, we must find pleasure in what we do. We like to redefine conventions, to find innovative and unusual ways to promote our clients. Our greatest pride is seeing our clients’ self-confidence grow with every step we take with them.
