Perfect Day was founded in London, England, in 1999 as a full-service creative communications agency, specializing in design, branding, print and digital advertising.

In 2010, after spending seven years at Perfect Day working with high profile clients such as McDonald’s Europe, Morgan Stanley and The Conservative Party UK, Creative Director John Devereaux returned to his native Newfoundland and Labrador to establish Perfect Day Canada in downtown St. John’s.

The ethos of Perfect Day has remained the same since the beginning: do good work for good clients. Our small (but mighty) team has built a reputation for community-focused, authentic work and a collaborative attitude. Driven by design, we help our clients find compelling ways to deliver their message, communicate ideas, educate people, and captivate audiences.
