Marketing for Cornwall, in English and in French.
Cornwall is growing again, and close to four in ten residents speak French. We help businesses here reach the whole market, not half of it.
About two hours east of Kingston on the 401.
English and French, with professional translators.
In Cornwall when it helps, by phone or video in between.
A bilingual city with a busy waterfront.
Cornwall reached 47,845 residents in the 2021 Census, the highest in the city's history. It is one of Eastern Ontario's biggest distribution hubs, with Walmart, Loblaw, Shoppers Drug Mart and Michelin running large distribution centres here, and it is home to the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation.
It is also a genuinely bilingual city. Federal figures put the share of residents who speak French at about 38 per cent. A business that markets only in English is quietly leaving a large part of its market to someone else.
- Many of your customers would rather be served in French
- You are hiring for warehouse, manufacturing or trades roles
- You serve Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, not just the city
- You want a partner who can run both languages without the headache
Three audiences in one city.
French-speaking customers
French Google listings, a French version of your key pages, and ads and social posts in both languages show customers you want their business.
Employers who need people
Logistics and manufacturing are hiring. Careers pages, honest content about your workplace and targeted job ads help you fill shifts.
Waterfront and festival visitors
Cornwall Ribfest drew upwards of 80,000 people in 2024, and the Eastern Ontario Garlic Festival fills Lamoureux Park every September. Visitors find their next stop on Google Maps.
Growing again, and bilingual.

What Cornwall businesses ask us.
Tap a question for the answer.
01Do you work in French?
Yes. We plan and manage the work, and professional translators write the French. Everything is reviewed before it goes live, so it reads like it was written for Cornwall, not run through a translation tool.
02Do we need a fully bilingual website?
Not always. Many businesses start with their Google listing and their most important pages in both languages, then add more as it proves its worth. We will recommend the right starting point for your customers.
03Do you come to Cornwall?
When it helps, yes. It is about two hours from our office, and we come for planning sessions, shoots and launches. Most check-ins happen by phone or video.
04Can you help us hire for warehouse and manufacturing roles?
Yes. A clear careers page, short videos about the work and targeted job ads in both languages can make a real difference to the number and quality of applicants.
05How do we reach visitors who come for Ribfest or the waterfront?
Visitors look for food, shopping and things to do on Google Maps. Current hours, photos, reviews and event-timed posts put you in front of them on the busiest weekends.
06Do you work across SDG, not just in the city?
Yes. We set up your search and ads to cover the communities your customers come from, from Long Sault and Morrisburg to Alexandria.
07Why work with an agency based in Kingston?
Because you get senior attention, clear pricing and a team that can handle both languages. Most of the work happens remotely, and we come to Cornwall when being there helps.
08How does pricing work?
Every project is scoped and quoted up front, per project or as a monthly program.
