Lea GagnonThe 5 best advertising agencies in Montreal to make your brand known
When I first launched my small business, I thought word of mouth alone would be enough to get noticed. Unfortunately, it wasn’t.
After spending hours designing my website and creating products I was proud of, I realised that without the right advertising strategy, my brand was practically invisible.
That’s when I started exploring local agencies and discovered just how much difference the right partner can make.
Along the way, I found some really impressive advertising agencies in Montreal that know how to elevate brands from hidden gems to household names. Check them out here!
How much does hiring an advertising agency cost in Montreal?
Hiring an advertising agency in Montreal can range from $2,000 to $15,000 per month for ongoing services, depending on the scope, complexity, and the agency’s experience.
How I chose the best advertising agencies in Montreal
1. Social Media 55
Address: 1200 McGill College Ave #1100
Phone: +1 844 633 4255
Business hours:
- Mon-Sun: 9 AM – 9 PM
Social Media 55’s daily availability is one of its advantages over competitors. You can contact them from Monday to Sunday, from morning to evening, making it easy for clients to get the support they need.
Another thing I love is that they offer niche-specific marketing services. By tailoring strategies to industries like real estate and health care, they help businesses position themselves as true experts in their field.
On top of that, they offer comprehensive digital marketing services. They can help clients with email marketing campaigns, content marketing strategies, and more! This is pretty convenient as you can manage most of your online presence under one roof.
But what really secured their spot on this list was their impressive case studies. They actually showed how their ideas turned into results, whether that’s stronger branding or higher revenue for their clients.
However, they’re one of the most in-demand advertising agencies in Montrea. Contact them as soon as possible to secure a slot.
Quality service from a talented agency
“Great results from signing up with Social Media 55. I had very little social media experience, I knew that I needed to work with one of the top social media agencies in Montreal. After looking at a few agencies I picked Social Media 55 because they had a great amount of experience and knowledge in my field. I worked with Joseph, Benjamin, Bret and everyone is helpful and knowledgeable. I am happy with my results and the placement I’m beginning to achieve. Great quality service from a talented agency, thank you.”

I would recommend them to anyone
“We had our website built and designed from Social Media 55. Since having them redesign our website business has gotten a lot better. The design and functionality gives our clients a great experience and keeps them on our website longer. We also hired them to build out our social media presence and handle all of our graphic designer for our monthly ads, our signage and our uniforms. The turnaround time is really quick and they always go the extra mile to give us great service. It’s clear to me why they are known as one of the top social media agencies in Montreal. I would recommend them to anyone needing a great digital marketing agency.”

2. Courimo
Address: 5929 Trans Canada Route Suite 308, Saint-Laurent
Phone: +1 514 509 5176
Business hours:
- Mon-Thu: 9 AM – 5 PM
- Fri: 9 AM – 3:30 PM
If you’re aiming to increase your brand visibility through LinkedIn, I recommend Courimo.
They offer a business-to-business (B2B) LinkedIn strategy service. They’ll help by setting up automated strategies so that you can focus on other tasks.
They also handle Google Ad marketing. They help clients design a well-thought-out campaign around researched keywords. If they don’t have readily available researched keywords yet, the team can do it for them too.
I also like that they offer both social media growth and management services. They offer business-to-consumer (B2C) social media growth packages for different types of clients—corporate businesses, influencers, and artists.
To me, that shows they understand how different audiences work and can adjust accordingly.
When it comes to conversing with them, they’re very easy to communicate with. They can explain things without the confusing jargon.
That said, they have a small team. This can sometimes affect their efficiency, according to some of their clients I spoke to.
They did an amazing job
“Worked with Courimo for my family business, and they did an amazing job at our new website creation. A year later, we are still working with them for our digital marketing including SEO,PPC, and social media ads. We could not thank them enough as our business has grown well above what we anticipated. Thank you to the whole team but a special thanks to Pierre and Jeremy! I highly recommend these guys!”
-Abi Amar, Google Review
They’re always there to help us
“Been a Courimo client for over 3 years now, i rarely leave any reviews but this time decided to leave one as these guys have been going above and beyond for my business even after a few years! Always here to help us find solution to grow our business! Special shout out to elie and patrick who’s been very available!”

3. CyberPublicity
Address: 625 Boul. René-Lévesque O 9th Floor
Phone: +1 800 928 0869
Business hours:
- Mon-Fri: 8 AM – 5 PM
I admire CyberPublicity for their consistency over the past 14 years. Staying relevant in digital marketing for that long is no small feat, and it speaks volumes about their reliability.
Their years of experience are also backed by recognition. They already have several awards under their belt, including being named the best Montreal web marketing agency in Montreal by Consumer’s Choice.
When it comes to their services, they offer a range of internet advertising services. I particularly like their remarketing service. I find it very helpful for those who have a pool of leads that they want to convert into actual customers.
I also appreciate their focus on innovation. All their marketing efforts are AI-driven, which shows they’re keeping up with where the industry is headed rather than staying stuck in outdated methods.
I do have some reservations, though. I’ve come across some client feedback mentioning cancelling meetings, and I can see how that would be frustrating.
Can’t describe how good these guys are
“We received a call from Jean Raymond offering us “Free” help on our Google Ads. Although sounding too good to be true, we accepted. Within a few hours we were introduced to Andy (Very, very knowledgeable) and between the two gentlemen we were guided through Google and explained what we should have been doing to optimize our ads. The expressions, “Professional” and “On the Ball” don’t describe how good these guys are. We’ve given CyberPublicity the mandate to put us on the right track… something anyone reading this review should do. This will be life-changing for us!!”

4. Dreww
Address: 1600 R. Notre Dame O #304
Phone: +1 514 504 2324
Business hours:
- Mon-Fri: 9 AM – 5 PM
Dreww is the perfect agency to partner with for those who want to maximise their marketing efforts on social media platforms. They have a team who are skilled in creating trendy concepts for platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
Speaking of TikTok, they’re highly proficient in making short-form video content. Most of their long-time clients praised them for creating compelling stories through content.
What’s even better is that they can do both photo and video production. We all know that those two are essential in driving traffic on social media. A combination of both will really elevate the brand.
Clients also speak highly of their professionalism. One person told me that he really appreciated the team’s effort to work beyond business hours just to ensure they tend to his requests.
That said, they can only help you mostly on social media platforms. Other than that, you may need to look for another agency.
They are 10/10
“We are happy that we with partnered with Dreww on film production for web, tv, and digital advertising. The Dreww team took the time to understand our deep-rooted brand values and delivered treatments that (more than) adequately capture who we are at Marché Bonanza Lalumiere. The Dreww team navigated the various complexities of our shoot location. They are 10/10 when it comes to communication and they work tirelessly to ensure that we (the client) are happy with the output. They invest in quality production and have their A-team and A-game when filming. We recommend Dreww for your next project and invite any hesitant prospect clients to reach out to us for a reference.”
-Claudia Lingat, Google Review
Easy to work with
“Every time I have dealt with Dreww’s team they have been incredibly kind, transparent and easy to work with. They answer questions in a timely manner and show time and time again that their clients are their number 1 priority. Dreww is instrumental in increasing brand exposure online and the team has a wealth of knowledge that will make you feel comfortable and at ease with any process. 10/10 will work with them again 10/10 would recommend to a friend”

5. Momentumm
Address: 4035 Saint Ambroise St Suite 405, Southwest
Phone: +1 514 647 9961
Business hours:
- Mon-Fri: 9 AM – 5 PM
One of Momentumm’s key strengths is their big team. Having more people on board means they can manage multiple clients at once and still deliver projects on time.
If you’re using HubSpot for your marketing efforts, I think Momentumm is worth considering. They know the platform inside out and can help you get more out of it, whether that’s adding new features or setting up other processes.
I also like their approach to B2B marketing. By creating web content that informs and attracts, they’re able to guide prospects through the funnel without being too pushy.
On top of that, Momentum can handle website creation. They can either build something completely from scratch or design mockups based on the image that you want for your brand.
However, they’ve only been in this business for less than a decade. They have a smaller portfolio, so it’s hard to gauge how they perform across different challenges.
Very open to criticism
“Working with Momentumm was a great experience. They created an amazing branding and website for my medical clinic. They are current, well versed in their domain, and incredibly responsive. They were always willing to take a call at any time. It was clear to me that they worked long hours to deliver the things I needed by my deadlines. Very approachable, very open to criticism and willing to adapt and deliver a quality product that looks clean and expensive, at a competitive price. 10/10 would hire again :)”
-J Sherwani, Google Review
The quality of the work is amazing
“Momentumm created 60+ videos for the company I work for. The quality of the work is amazing and the pricing is very competitive. They are very creative and they can accommodate you with any needs. In our case, we had drone shots and they partnered with another company that was very nice to work with. Overall great experience, would recommend Momentumm to any company that want to start making videos or that want to raise the standards of their video work.”
