Digital Marketing Agency
in Montreal
Up to 30 minutes with our senior team. Leave with the first three moves we would make. No obligation.
Strategy built for how Montreal works
Montreal has its own culture, its own language and its own taste, and brands that treat it like the rest of Canada get ignored. Bold x Collective is a growth agency for the brands that mean it, working with fashion, beauty, wellness and hospitality brands across Montreal, from the Plateau and Mile End to Old Montreal and Griffintown.
We are a full-service digital and web marketing agency in Montreal, headquartered in Toronto with a base downtown on Sainte-Catherine, and one team runs bilingual strategy, performance marketing, search and visibility, content and social, production, email and CRM, and digital experience and commerce. The thinking and the execution never get separated, so nothing is lost between the idea and the result.

Brand strategy and positioning in Montreal
Montreal audiences can tell when a brand was built for somewhere else. Positioning is how a brand earns a place here. We start every engagement with audience research in French and English, competitor mapping and a clear point of view on where the brand should sit, then build a growth roadmap the rest of the work is measured against.

Social media and content marketing in Montreal
Montreal has its own creators, its own references and its own sense of humour. We build social strategy, content marketing and creator partnerships in French and English around what the brand needs to achieve, then manage the channels day to day, planned alongside performance and commerce.

Campaign shoots, short-form social video, product photography and podcast production, planned and made by our own team. Creative is built for how it will be used and for both languages, from a paid social ad to a homepage hero, and refreshed through every season.

Performance marketing in Montreal
Paid social and paid search (PPC) built around a defined outcome, not ad spend. We run Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Google Ads campaigns for Montreal brands in French and English, with performance creative made in-house, measured against revenue and cost per acquisition, and attribution set up before the first dollar is spent.

SEO and AI search visibility in Montreal
Montreal customers search in two languages, and a brand needs to appear in both, on Google and in AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI results. We handle bilingual SEO, local SEO across Montreal neighbourhoods and multi-market SEO for brands selling across Canada, along with digital PR that builds authority.

Email marketing and CRM in Montreal
Acquisition wins the first order. Email, SMS and CRM decide whether the customer comes back. We build email and SMS programs in Klaviyo in French and English, set up the lifecycle flows that turn first orders into repeat customers, connect the CRM and run customer feedback, all measured against revenue and lifetime value, not open rates.

Website design and web marketing in Montreal
A strong campaign is wasted on a site that does not convert. We design and build bilingual websites and e-commerce stores, run conversion rate optimization and UX audits, and fix the booking and checkout flows where brands most often lose revenue.

Montréal La Métropole
A marketing agency built for Montreal
Montreal is a bilingual city with a culture all its own. French is the language of most of its customers, Quebec's language rules shape how brands advertise, and audiences notice immediately when a campaign has been translated rather than made for them. Brands that win here plan in both languages from day one.
It is also one of North America's great creative cities, with a strong fashion scene, a world-class restaurant culture and a growing base of gaming, tech and AI companies. A message that lands in Mile End may need a different angle in Westmount, Laval or the South Shore. We plan targeting, messaging and search around who the customer actually is, in the language they actually use.
The city runs on festivals. From the Grand Prix in June through the Jazz Festival, Just for Laughs and Osheaga, summer brings a global audience and a short window for hospitality and lifestyle brands, while the long winter moves spending indoors and online.

Our approach as a Montreal digital marketing agency
An engagement here usually starts with strategy and search and visibility together: a bilingual positioning framework built for Montreal's two audiences, paired with local SEO in French and English built around real buyer intent, from downtown to Laval and the South Shore. Social media and content marketing follow for brands that need to earn attention, performance marketing for brands ready to scale, and email marketing and web marketing work wherever a booking or checkout flow is costing a brand its conversions. We also work with brands in Toronto and across Ontario.

Frequently asked questions
Questions brands ask before hiring a digital marketing agency in Montreal.
-
A digital marketing agency plans and runs the work that grows a brand online: strategy, paid social and paid search, SEO, social media, content and production, email and CRM, and website or e-commerce work. At Bold x Collective, every engagement starts with strategy and is scoped to what the brand actually needs, so a Montreal fashion label and a Montreal restaurant group get very different plans.
-
Yes. Montreal is a bilingual market and Quebec's language laws require French in most commercial communication, so campaigns are planned in both languages from the start. Messaging, creative and search are adapted for French and English audiences rather than translated, and each is measured on its own.
-
Yes. We run SEO and paid search as one connected strategy rather than two separate services. Paid search shows which Montreal search terms convert in French and English, and SEO builds lasting visibility for those same terms, so budget moves to what works and organic growth compounds over time.
-
Paid social, paid search and full-funnel campaigns built around a defined outcome, not ad spend. We set up tracking and attribution first, make performance creative with our own team, test continuously and report against revenue and cost per acquisition. When something is not working, we say so and change it.
-
Yes. Brands entering Quebec need more than a translated campaign. We plan the launch around French-language requirements, local culture, retail and media, and the differences between Montreal audiences and the rest of Canada. Recent work includes a K-beauty brand launch in Canada that sold out at Sephora.
-
Strategy comes first in every engagement, not as an add-on. It shapes the audience research, positioning and roadmap that performance, content and every other service are built against. That is the difference between a campaign that is guessing and one that is not.
-
It depends on the brand, its stage and its goals. Strategy, production and website builds are project-based. Ongoing performance, search and social engagements run on a six-month minimum retainer, because growth compounds over time. Ad spend is always separate from the agency fee. We share pricing on a call once we understand what the brand needs.
-
Look for an agency that starts with strategy, not a package. Ask how they handle French and English, how they measure success, and who will actually work on your account. Check case studies in your category and reviews on Google and Clutch. The right agency challenges your brief and tells you what is not working, not just what you want to hear.
-
Yes. Email and CRM is its own service. We build email and SMS programs in Klaviyo, including welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase and winback flows in French and English, plus campaigns for launches and key moments, so first orders turn into repeat customers.
-
Yes. As a social media marketing agency, we build the strategy, content calendar and creator partnerships behind a brand's channels in both languages, then manage them day to day. Content marketing and editorial run alongside it, and paid social puts the best-performing content to work.
