Marketing for Kanata, from the tech park to the plaza.
Kanata is two markets in one: a technology park that sells to the world, and fast-growing neighbourhoods that shop close to home. We help businesses in both.
About two hours from Kingston, with clients right in Ottawa's west end.
MetroCity on Michael Cowpland Drive and Ridge Rock Brewing Co. in Carp.
B2B marketing for tech firms, or local marketing for neighbourhood businesses.
Know which Kanata you are selling to.
Kanata North is home to Canada's largest technology park, with more than 540 companies and over 33,000 employees, according to Invest Ottawa. Companies like Ciena, Nokia, Ericsson and QNX sit a few minutes from family neighbourhoods like Kanata Lakes, Bridlewood and Morgan's Grant, and from the shopping at Kanata Centrum and Tanger Outlets.
A tech firm selling to global customers and a dental office competing on Google Maps need very different marketing. We do both, and we will be honest about which track you are on.
- Your website does not explain what you sell to a non-engineer
- You need to hire technical people and are losing them to bigger names
- You run a neighbourhood business and keep losing Google Maps rankings
- You have outgrown the freelancer who set things up
Different businesses, different playbooks.
For tech and B2B companies
Websites that explain complex products in plain language, LinkedIn content that builds credibility with buyers, employer brand and recruiting content, and campaigns around the trade events and launches that matter to your sales cycle.
For neighbourhood businesses
A Google Business Profile that wins the map, steady reviews, local ads around Kanata and Stittsville, and social content that makes families in Kanata Lakes or Bridlewood choose you over the place across the parking lot.
A big market in its own right.

What Kanata businesses ask us.
Tap a question for the answer.
01Is Kanata part of your Ottawa service area?
Yes. Kanata is part of the City of Ottawa, and we have clients in Kanata and Carp. We built this page because Kanata's mix of tech companies and family neighbourhoods needs its own approach.
02We are a tech company with a long sales cycle. How can an agency help?
By making your expertise easy to find and easy to understand. That usually means a clearer website, LinkedIn content your buyers actually read, case studies and campaigns around the events and launches that move deals forward.
03Can you help us recruit engineers and technical staff?
Yes. Employer brand content, a careers page that answers real questions and targeted ads can help a smaller firm compete for people with the big names in the park.
04Can you write about technical products accurately?
We interview your experts, write in plain language and have them review everything before it goes live. The goal is content a buyer understands and your engineers sign off on.
05We are a local service business in Kanata. What should we focus on first?
Your Google Business Profile and reviews. In busy neighbourhoods like Kanata Lakes and Bridlewood, the map results decide a lot of business, and a complete, active listing makes a real difference.
06Do you also work in Stittsville and Carp?
Yes. We plan local search and ads around the whole west end, including Stittsville, Carp and the communities along March Road.
07Do you meet in person?
When it helps, yes. We come to Ottawa for planning sessions, shoots and launches, and handle regular check-ins by phone and video.
08How does pricing work?
Every project is scoped and quoted up front, as a single project or a monthly program. Larger organizations can also work with us under an ongoing agreement.
The neighbourhoods we plan around.
Local search in Kanata is neighbourhood by neighbourhood. A clinic in Bridlewood and a restaurant near Kanata Centrum are competing in different map results.
