Our mission

Tactix is dedicated to solving our clients’ most complex challenges with discretion, evidence-based advice and principled service.

Our vision

We aim to be the trusted public affairs partner for complex national and global challenges, delivering lasting results through discreet, innovative expertise and forward-thinking strategy.

Our history

Founded in 1996, Tactix was built on the simple notion of ‘do a few things really well’. That guiding principle remains core to our mission today. We excel at delivering value for clients in the practice areas that we have built over the past 29 years.

From the start of the firm at the kitchen table, to where we are today with market presence in Brussels, Paris, London, Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, the core values that Tony Stikeman founded the firm on three decades ago remain true to this day.

Our core values

Collaboration

We believe in the power of working together — internally and with clients — to create results that matter. The star of the team is the team.

Innovation

We push boundaries to create solutions that challenge the status quo and spark creativity, constantly leveraging new technologies to deliver results-driven solutions.

Integrity

Trust is at the heart of everything we do. We deliver transparent and accountable services, upholding the highest ethical standards in all of our actions with evidence-based advice.

Client-centric

We focus on client outcomes, not just outputs, ensuring that every action we implement drives measurable success. Delivering exceptional quality and excellence is what we are known for.

Discretion

Engaging with the utmost discretion and trustworthiness is core to our promise to our clients, ensuring that lasting outcomes are achieved with confidentiality and subtlety.

Life at Tactix
