Skin and Bones Jackets

[03.21.2025]


If you know, you know. The 2017 jacket is back—now in red for our anniversary. Get it before it’s gone (again). Check it out on our instagram here.

ROM

[03.14.2025]


In 1944, Robert “Bob” Hanf wrote this letter to his family from Auschwitz. At the time, all communication was censored so the outside world wouldn’t know what was really happening. In this film, light becomes a beacon of knowledge—passed from witness to witness, ensuring history is not forgotten and its mistakes are not repeated. “What will be the end?” Check out Jeremi Durand's new spot with the ROM here.

Our New Identity

[03.01.2025]


We’re getting rid of the old Skin & Bones and starting fresh. It’s more than just a new look (but we love the new look), it’s a new way forward. Give the rebrand a spin on our site.

New Bathroom Wallpaper

We want to make sure everyone who comes to the office has the best experience, no matter what room they are in. That’s why we’ve got this beautiful new Toronto “Toile du Jouy” in the two rooms where we all spend so much time texting.

Nolan McD’s

[02.11.2025]


Decision fatigue is depicted at its most delicious in this new McDonald’s spot from the lovely Nolan Sarner. It’s inviting and yummy, just like a box of McDonald’s french fries fresh out of the fryer. Are you hungry? Give it a watch.
