Branding services help a business build or redefine their brand. This includes logo development, changes to the company’s social media profiles, and developing a voice for the company.
Copywriting is the creation and/or editing of content including website content, ad copy, blog posts, taglines, social media posts and more.

Look for a Canadian agency that is results-oriented
An experienced agency will be results-driven from the start, using meticulous research to identify opportunities for growth and create an online marketing strategy. They should be able to recognize challenges for your brand and provide clear ideas for how to stand out from your competitors.
Ask about how the results of your campaign will be communicated. What sort of reporting will the agency provide? How often will you receive reports? Will there be opportunities to regularly discuss the results?
