That’s why we reviewed the best advertising agencies in Montreal, helping businesses enter the Quebec market with culturally nuanced campaigns that truly resonate within the province’s unique bilingual landscape. Read on to find the one that best first your goals, strategy, and budget.

What we love most about Green Horizon is how they shape their campaigns by banking on narrative rather than isolated ads or visuals. It’s a smart approach, as consumers these days want something meaningful and relatable, which helps long-term brand recognition.
That said, their work often expands into documentaries, films, and experimental projects that really bring out the brand’s purpose and identity.
Consistency is key, so we’re glad that one team controls both strategy and production, keeping campaigns cohesive and avoiding costly revisions in between. They pretty much take the reins for conceptualization, branding, media strategy, web development, photography, and video production.
We also like that they work closely with clients, especially for businesses that want creative input and transparency.
And we have to give their actual production a shoutout; you can expect them to treat marketing content more like film production with high-quality visuals and cinematic storytelling—results feel premium.
Overall, they’re incredibly responsive and accommodating. Just note that they’re closed on weekends.

One of Social Media 55’s strong points is digital marketing; they position it as a measurable growth tool, focusing on increasing traffic, leads, and profits.
If your business is built around performance outcomes, this makes it easier to guarantee that marketing budgets translate into tangible business growth.
We highlighted their nano-targeting expertise; they reach highly specific audiences instead of a broader demographic. So, you’ll be putting money into intentional ads to improve conversion rates—a win for small and mid-sized businesses working with limited budgets.
On the flipside, they typically require continuous management instead of short-term campaigns for more of their performance marketing services, like social media growth.
Nonetheless, just like their name suggests, they know how to navigate the social media landscape, from content creation to engagement management and paid advertising. We find this handy, especially if you don’t have an in-house marketing team to run company socials.
Really happy with the results
“4 years of excellent digital marketing service. We brought Social Media 55 in to originally handle all our social media marketing but we have them doing our SEO. We got a website designed on wordpress and we have been ranking high. We are really happy with the results.”
– Shawn Thornicroft, Google Review
Great help with our project
“Working with Social Media 55 has been a blessing. Our event, hired them on to handle our graphic design and SEO. We have them handling our social media marketing and everything is running smoothly. Benjamin has been a great help with our project.”

3. K6 Agency

Services: Paid media advertising
Address: 5011B Av. du Parc
Contact Details: 1 438-600-2311

K6 Agency is well-aware of its niche, and they strategically align their resources and other services around it to provide clients with comprehensive outcomes.
They’re known for paid media advertising, like Facebook ads, Google ads, YouTube ads, and LinkedIn ads. You can even take advantage of their free marketing proposals to have a better grasp of their potential offerings before paying upfront.
The business owners we spoke with also shared that they’ve noticed significant ROI after working with the company. And it’s thanks to how they connect ads with landing page optimization and user journey improvements, so visitors convert into actual paying customers.
Here’s the thing, though: they don’t focus on large-scale brand storytelling or traditional awareness advertising that much, which might cause a mismatch with your campaign objective.
Still, we can’t deny that their data-first campaign adapts to fast-changing trends quickly and adjusts allocation before budgets are wasted.
Extremely responsive and flexible to requests
“I’ve been working with K6 for approximately 8 months, and I have been really happy with the communication, content they provided. Extremely responsive and flexible to requests. Great to work with!”

4. Macadam Marketing

Services: Advertising strategy, branding and brand positioning, creative advertising campaigns, web design and development, seo optimization, e-commerce solutions
Address: 4388 R. Saint-Denis suite 200
Contact Details: +1 514-312-3038

First impressions matter to Macadam Marketing—and rightfully so—they prioritize capturing the audience’s attention within seconds to be memorable. Their creative work revolves around emotional hooks, spokesperson strategies, cultural references, and storytelling techniques.
This psychology-driven approach is their way to stand out in a competitive industry where attention span directly affects conversion rates and campaign ROI.
We also appreciate how they include workshops to develop personas, site structure, and creative direction with clients. They won’t blindly pitch a campaign to you; it’s a proper collaborative effort.
The hitch? We noticed that they operate with a smaller team compared to others on this list, so this might limit the jobs they take on and their capacity for large multi-market advertising rollouts.
But hey, beyond advertising, they also offer web development, SEO, and e-commerce implementation, making campaigns and digital platforms to work together seamlessly.
Creating high-quality advertising
“I’ve been working with Macadam for several years now, and I have nothing but good things to say about the agency and the people who run it. They are strategic professionals who are committed to serving their clients well and creating high-quality advertising that allows the companies that trust them to achieve their goals, and beyond. In addition, they know how to surround themselves with the best in the industry to meet specific needs. For me, they are an agency of choice for SMEs who want to grow with a smile on their face.”
– Stéphane Jean, Google Review
Impeccable work
“I am very satisfied with Macadam’s impeccable work. They are professional and truly listen to my needs. I highly recommend their services! I would not hesitate to use them again.”

5. Dreww

Services: Digital advertising strategy, brand positioning, content production, film and commercial production, social media advertising
Address: 1600 R. Notre Dame O #304
Contact Details: +1 514-504-2324
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 5 PM
| Google reviews score | 4.7/5 |

Dreww draws inspiration from a consumer’s point of view, designing their campaigns around audience behaviour and cultural relevance rather than just pretty aesthetics and media placement.
Their strategy and production teams collaborate directly, which is a plus in our books because it makes for better consistency and less costly revisions. Having their own creative production means they can handle strategy, filming, photography, and campaign execution in-house.
As for the campaigns themselves, we quickly noticed how much they put storytelling as the overall theme and direction of their rollouts. So, you can expect a combination of cinematic production with performance marketing distribution.
They might be the best choice for very small startups, though. Their services are more designed for full-service advertising; this might be an overkill if you only want minimal marketing or ad support.
The silver lining is that they make it a point to always stay on social media and provide continuous campaign management, and not just short bursts of ad activity.
