Proud to Be Working with One of the Google Search Excellence Winners

Best Canadian Digital Marketing Agency

A feat not done in Canada before. We’re very, very, very proud.
While this may seem like a shameless plug, it’s really not – we are so proud of our team and our company. I don’t think I’ve ever worked in a place where the staff stay after 5pm on a Friday because they want to. We play pool, mingle and catch-up. Great place to work, right?

So, while we are tooting our own proverbial horn, I think we earned it. Imagine how many digital marketing agencies and marketers there are and then imagine a 28 member agency located in Burlington being chosen as one of twelve North American Google Search Excellence Award winners.

Mind Blowing!

We are no fun at non-digital parties. No one understands what we do and we’re passionate about it, some might say “Geekishly boring”. I don’t think we are…even when we talk about algorithms and CTR. Most of our parents think we work in IT.

Don saw the opportunity to start a search marketing agency with the claim they are math men not Mad Men – a niche that still isn’t populated by many marketing agencies. Our difference – our numbers speak for themselves. We are all about the data and we’re small enough to care about all of the details.
