What Brand & Mortar does

Brand & Mortar is a privately held, full-service digital marketing and creative agency founded in 2011 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada, with a secondary office in San Diego, California. The company employs 20+ marketing and advertising professionals and operates without disclosed institutional funding, appearing to be bootstrapped and founder-controlled. Its service portfolio spans the full marketing lifecycle: brand strategy and identity, content marketing and PR, social media management and paid advertising (Facebook, Instagram, Google Ads, AdRoll), search engine optimization, website design and development (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, WooCommerce, and Shopify as a certified partner), mobile application development (Swift, Objective-C, React Native, Kotlin, Java, C++), graphic design and packaging, and video production for digital and broadcast channels.

The agency sells project-based and retainer professional services to a heterogeneous client base that includes startups, small and medium businesses, and larger enterprises across verticals such as skin and hair care, sports nutrition, healthcare, financial services, mobile applications, events, and nonprofit. Pricing is consultation-based with disclosed budget tiers ranging from $5,000 to over $100,000, and lead generation is website-driven, with an in-house AI chatbot named Ava qualifying prospects before routing to the sales team. Customer concentration is dispersed across many engagements rather than anchored by a single anchor account, and the company has accumulated a case-study library with documented outcomes including 2,931 leads, a 373% lift in Amazon sales, $37M in client pipeline value, and 1,460% year-over-year lead growth for a hospital client.

The business model is professional services with no disclosed software product, subscription platform, or proprietary technology stack. Operating geographies are North America, with offices in Canada and the United States. The company holds verified review presence on Google (75+), UpCity (70+), and Clutch (15+), is a member of the Digital Agency Network, and lists a portfolio of enterprise logos including RBC, BMO, Mastercard, Intel, Toshiba, and Aeroplan, alongside a roster of named small and mid-market case-study clients across consumer goods, healthcare, and technology.
