Our Story

CanadaMarket Consult was founded in 2008 by Sarah Thompson and Michael Chen, two marketing veterans who recognized a significant gap in the Canadian consulting landscape. While numerous agencies offered generic marketing solutions, few truly understood the unique dynamics of Canadian markets—from the distinct preferences of Quebec consumers to the regional variations across provinces.

Our journey began in Toronto with a small team of five dedicated consultants and a vision to transform how businesses approach marketing in Canada. Within our first year, we helped a national retail chain increase their market share by 27% through regionally-tailored campaigns that resonated with local consumers in ways their previous one-size-fits-all approach never could.

By 2012, we had expanded to Vancouver and Montreal, building specialized teams with deep expertise in their regional markets. Our bilingual capabilities and cultural insights allowed us to bridge the often-challenging divide between English and French Canadian markets, creating seamless campaigns that maintained brand consistency while acknowledging cultural differences.

Today, CanadaMarket Consult stands as Canada's premier marketing consulting firm, with a team of over 40 specialists across the country. We've helped more than 500 businesses—from startups to Fortune 500 companies—navigate the complex Canadian marketplace, driving measurable growth and establishing enduring brand presence.
