Testimonials

“The recommendations MASSIVart put forward are inspiring and creative, yet realistic and attainable, understanding our commitments to sustainability and resilience, and designing public spaces that are welcoming for all.”

Jinny Tran – Sr. Development Manager, Northcrest Developments

“We’ve seen substantial marketing success with our engaging and photogenic visual art. Almost 60% of the visitors who pass through our properties have mentioned they find out about NYC events and installations through social media and word of mouth.
Most people won’t be able to pass by West’s artwork without taking a picture and sharing it with their friends, family, colleagues, or followers on social media.”

Elysa Marden – Senior Vice President, Arts Brookfield for Brookfield Properties

“As one of the busiest shopping centres in North America, we proudly welcome millions of guests from all over the world each year, and we are thrilled to offer this new and uniquely Canadian experience to delight our visitors, we hope this exhibit creates a memorable experience for our shoppers to discover the vibrant and diverse landscape of Canada while connecting with one another.”

Sheila Jennings – General Manager, CF Toronto Eaton Centre

“All our delightfully artsy content is performing great on our channels – over 17K accounts reached on our first post promoting the pieces. As for press, our agency has generated some great coverage for us so far.”

Kiran Deol – Marketing Manager, Guildford Town Centre managed by JLL.

“From client brief through to execution, MASSIVart is a marketer’s dream come true! They ensure that they understand our brand, objectives, and budget and present best-in-class ideas beyond what we could have imagined. Their knowledgeable and professional team is dedicated to providing experiences that resonate and leave a positive impression on the client and the end-user. In a few words… they exemplify experience!”

Lisa P. Resnic – Marketing Manager, Oxford Properties Group.

“You can ask for a higher average daily rate (ADR) when you have quality art in your hotel vs just a piece of art that you can buy at any common store. What we have at W Montreal [the art integrations made by MASSIVart] is unique: There’s only our property that has it, and people are willing to pay a premium to have this experience.”

Christina Poon, W New York Hotel – Union Square, General Manager. About W Montreal’s project.

“During the time of the pandemic, it was difficult to travel and coordinate a project of this scale from across the globe. However, MASSIVart executed this project flawlessly and managed to coordinate for the artist to fly in and out of Dubai. The line of communication was always very clear, so we were able to predict and solve any challenges before we faced them.”

Malak Qaoud – Manager, Arts & Events, ICD Brookfield Place. About DATAMONOLITH_AI’s project.

“As part of the Printemps du Palais, MASSIVart has developed a cultural programming in perfect symbiosis with the new vision of the Palais; becoming a vector of Montreal creativity, generating emotions and memorable experiences. Philippe and his team have demonstrated efficiency and ingenuity by deploying a series of installations that energize the Palais’s public spaces, offer a showcase for local artists and invite Montrealers to rediscover their convention center.”

Robert Mercure – CEO, Montreal Convention Centre.
