About Toquade Marketing
From brand positioning to ecommerce shopping experiences to multi-channel marketing campaigns, we strive to create emotional connections with your consumers. Today’s consumers want to connect with brands they believe in; brands that share their passions and have a clear point of view. When that magical connection occurs, consumers are more likely to make a purchase and share their love for your brand with their friends and family.
That’s where Toquade fits in. In the French language, une toquade reflects a passion, a sudden taste or even an infatuation for something or someone. It’s that certain je ne sais quoi that keeps us coming back for more. And just like that, une toquade has become one of our guiding principles.
A passion for something or someone
A keen and sudden taste for a person or a thing; an infatuation
A penchant, liking or friendship towards someone or something
