POP MARQUEE: Shaping lights, letters and imagination

POP Marquee creates illuminated word signs and icons that transform public spaces into destinations. From festivals and concerts to shopping centres, municipalities, and Business Improvement Areas, we help communities and brands express their identity in bold, unforgettable ways.

Founded by Richard Cowan, whose background spans global hospitality and commercial holiday décor, POP Marquee began as a company focused on festive installations. Today, that expertise has evolved into something much bigger — year-round illuminated experiences that celebrate every season, every event, and every moment worth sharing.

Our work has brightened streetscapes and captured hearts across Ontario, with standout projects such as the ❤️ LOCAL campaign for the City of Toronto and large-scale displays for music festivals featuring top global talent. Each installation is designed not just to decorate, but to engage — turning words into landmarks and visitors into storytellers through the power of light and design.

Based in Ontario, Canada, POP Marquee designs and manufactures every product in-house, ensuring unmatched quality, durability, and visual impact. Every piece reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and community — values that have made us one of the most trusted names in illuminated signage for public spaces.

As we continue to grow across North America, our mission remains simple: to help cities, events, and brands shine brighter — one word at a time!
