Emanuel Cohen is the founder and co-creative director of July, a Montreal-based creative firm with a focus on design, brand experiences, art direction, people and storytelling. Born in a family with roots deep-seated in craftsmanship, he is an enthusiast of traditional methods at large, and a curious autodidact with proficiency in numerous creative spheres.

While he strives to infuse this knowledge into the works he and his cross-disciplinary team bring forth – with a meticulous work practice, acute attention to detail and structured yet cutting-edge creativity – July has become a valuable creative partner to many brands on a global scale.

Over the past 5 years, the firm’s roadmap to constant evolution and success has been rooted in building relationships of trust and establishing bonds with like-minded entrepreneurs and brands, creating work that was globally awarded, recognized and published by esteemed organizations including The Art Directors Club, The Type Directors Club, Alcuin Book Society, AIGA 50|50, Communication Arts Magazine, The Dieline, Gestalten and Monocle.

On a mission to continuously nourish curiosity, embrace logic, emotion and happy accidents, the team’s unifying vision is to align with people who aim to better the world through shared values.
