North Strategic is a strategic communications agency in Canada focused on helping brands earn attention and influence. We build ideas that travel—across media, platforms, culture, and time—guiding brands with clarity, intent, and insight at every stage of the journey.
Social by design and strategic by nature, our work spans earned media, social strategy, influencer and creator marketing, experiential, reputation management, and integrated storytelling. We don’t chase attention or follow the path. We design it, guide it, and help move brands forward with purpose.
With teams in Toronto, Montréal, and Calgary, North blends the agility of a boutique agency with the scale and strength of a global network as part of Publicis Groupe.
We design technology that is built to scale. Our proprietary development processes guarantee reliable, user-centered solutions that drive seamless digital transformation for Enterprise and Scale-up companies. That is what we call seamless technology.
We have helped many customers achieve growth such as Nokia, Thermo-Fisher, and BNP Paribas. Over the last 13 years, with more than 300 projects developed, we have gathered several awards such as Financial Times 1000: Europe's Fastest Growing Companie 2023 & 2024, Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies, Top 1000 Global Companies in 2020 & 2021, UK Top B2B Company in 2021 & 2022, and Europe Best Workplace® 2022.
