The 2018 edition of the World Biggest Humour Festival is fabulous.
Millions of visitors from around the World are living a memorable experience in the heart of Montreal. As a digital agency, we have been having the chance to share this wonderful adventure with the Just For Laughs Group for over 5 years now.
Here is half a decade of amazing projects all more interesting than the others.
2014 – What a Start!
The Just For Laughs Group’s main website was one of the cornerstones of the company’s marketing efforts. Prior to the summer launch of the Just For Laughs Festival — 2014 edition — and having just completed a major redesign of the website the year before, the heads of hahaha.com wanted to find a trustworthy partner who could work with them to strategically optimize their online sales and also configure a robust hosting environment adapted to their specific needs.
