What Evans Hunt does

Evans Hunt (legal entity: The Evans Hunt Group Inc.) is a Calgary, Canada-based creative digital agency founded in 2008, operating with 51-100 employees and led by co-Managing Partners Dan Evans and Bill Hunt alongside eight functional department heads. The firm delivers four integrated service pillars: Strategy (research, experience design, analytics), Digital (web design and development, ecommerce, CRM and marketing automation, app development), Branding (brand strategy, brand expression, merchandising, creative production), and Marketing (campaigns, social media, content, media/search). Its underlying technology stack centers on standard digital experience platforms, content management systems, and ecommerce solutions rather than proprietary platforms or AI/ML systems.

The agency's revenue model is professional services-based, with project-based engagements delivered directly to enterprise and mid-market clients across verticals including travel and tourism, financial services, telecommunications, real estate, education, and government. Named enterprise clients include Ikon Pass, Pursuit, Shaw, Glassdoor, ATB, Brookfield Residential, Servus Credit Union, DIALOG, Calgary Public Library, CMH Heli-Skiing, FlyOver Canada, and Alberta University of the Arts, alongside smaller consumer brand engagements such as People's Choice Beef Jerky and Bad Coffee. The company markets through organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook), Medium blog content, and detailed case studies, and has received industry recognition including Netlify's Site of the Week for the CMH Heli-Skiing website.

In July 2024, Evans Hunt was acquired by Mod Op, a US-based digital marketing agency, in Mod Op's largest acquisition to date. Evans Hunt now operates as a Canadian subsidiary under Mod Op's North American platform, extending Mod Op's geographic reach and capabilities in travel, energy, and telecom verticals. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no public revenue figures, and no certifications or regulatory milestones beyond the acquisition event.
