MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Tim Ng is the founder and CEO of AdHoc Studio, one of the top rendering and visualization companies in North America, and the founder of Blackline, a leading sales and marketing CRM platform built for the new development and pre-construction industry. Born and raised in Toronto's North York neighbourhood, Tim grew up immersed in real estate. His father was among the first pre-construction condominium brokers in Toronto, drawing on real estate practices from Hong Kong, while his mother spent more than thirty years working for one of the city's top developers. That early exposure, along with an entrepreneurial streak that had him building and managing client websites before he was a teenager, shaped the direction of his career.
Tim studied business at Ryerson University's Ted Rogers School of Management, working internships and co-ops in finance throughout his degree. Rather than accepting a corporate job offer after graduation, he launched AdHoc Studio in September 2008, in the middle of the global financial crisis, building the business through cold calling and a first contract with Dunpar Homes. AdHoc grew into a studio known for photorealistic renderings, animations, and interactive sales tools, staffed by a team with backgrounds in architecture and interior design. The company expanded from Toronto into Western Canada and, more recently, into the United States, with a focus on the South Florida and New York markets.
In 2019, Tim launched Blackline, transitioning part of the business from a service model into a software product that helps developers and sales teams manage the entire pre-construction sales pipeline, from marketing and broker engagement through contracts and closings. AdHoc and Blackline now employ a team of around forty people out of their Toronto headquarters. Tim continues to lead both companies with a focus on staying ahead of industry technology, including how artificial intelligence is reshaping design and sales workflows.
