The Ginger Agency is happy to announce their appointment as Agency of Record for SABIAN, the world class cymbal manufacturer based in Meductic, New Brunswick. SABIAN Cymbals have graced the stage of greats such as Phil Collins, RUSH and the Weeknd and events such as the Grammys and the Super Bowl. This marks the first time the cymbal giant has selected an Atlantic Canadian Agency of Record in more than a decade. 

“As a global brand, we are thrilled to work with a leading agency right here in New Brunswick. Our people and our culture have always been the secret to our success at SABIAN. Ginger gets that and we are excited to collaborate with their talented team as we continue to share our passion for music with the world”.

The partnership encompasses a broad range of marketing and communications services. From brand strategy, creative direction, product development, retail distribution, to digital and social strategy, the two marketing teams will work collaboratively to create new opportunities against a backdrop of an ever-evolving marketing landscape. 

“We are excited to have embarked on this journey with SABIAN. The opportunity to support the success of this proud New Brunswick brand is an absolute honour. We look forward to continuing sharing powerful stories and deepening connections with drummers around the globe through best-in-class experiences and innovating marketing”.

“We pride ourselves in working hard to build meaningful brands fueled by passion and purpose. Our expanded and diverse team is equipped now better than ever to help organizations make a difference.
