What Solutions With Impact does

Solutions With Impact is a Toronto-based, privately-held professional services agency operating across three integrated divisions: Event Management, Design & Production; Promotional Marketing; and Communications, Public/Media Relations. The firm serves Canadian corporations (PwC, Tim Hortons, Ferrero Canada, Post Consumer Food, Chips Ahoy!) and charitable foundations and healthcare nonprofits (SickKids Foundation, Sunnybrook, Michael Garron Hospital, Pinball Clemons Foundation, Historica Canada, Blue Mountain Village Foundation), delivering end-to-end event execution, brand activation campaigns, and strategic communications programs.

The company's offering spans the full event lifecycle — detailed planning and budgeting, sponsorship acquisition, supplier management, on-site management, creative design and décor (sound, lighting, staging, full production), sales promotion, experiential and shopper marketing, product launches, digital marketing, contest administration and fulfillment, media kit and press release development, media outreach, and social media outreach. Marketing is delivered through a Wix-based website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (@SWIbiz), and a video portfolio; there is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capability disclosed, and no app or API surface.

Solutions With Impact generates revenue through bespoke, quote-based professional services engagements with no publicly disclosed pricing. Distribution is direct B2B, targeting enterprise and nonprofit buyers via portfolio showcases, industry relationships, and event-driven visibility (e.g., Boat Rally for Cancer, Game2Give). The firm is led by President & CEO Joel Hock and Vice President Shawn Moscoe, operates from a headquarters at 590 Gordon Baker Rd in Toronto with 11-50 total employees, and has executed events across Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal. The company maintains a strategic partnership with XTREAM Solutions for gaming-community activations and has won multiple industry awards including the 2022 Canadian Event Awards and the BIZBASH Event Experience Award.

Direct peers

• BCD Meetings & Events: Global corporate event management and meetings agency serving enterprise clients with full lifecycle event programs — directly comparable corporate client base and multi-city delivery model to SWI.
• George P. Johnson Experience Marketing: Large experience marketing agency designing and producing events, exhibits, and activations for global brands — comparable scope to SWI's full-service event management and brand activation offering.
• GES: Global experience and event management agency providing end-to-end event production, design, and exhibitor services for corporate and association clients — directly comparable to SWI's Event Management, Design & Production division.
• Mosaic: Experiential marketing agency delivering brand activations, retail experiences, and event-based consumer engagement for major brands — directly comparable to SWI's Promotional Marketing and experiential service line.
• Sparks: Specialist experiential and brand experience agency producing corporate events, brand activations, and pop-up experiences — closely aligned with SWI's integrated event + experiential model.
• MKG: Creative experiential marketing agency producing events, brand experiences, and cultural activations for consumer and enterprise brands — analogous to SWI's promotional marketing and event design work.

Emerging players

• Bizzabo: Event experience platform providing registration, engagement, and analytics tools for in-person and hybrid events — an emerging tech-enabled competitor that threatens the experiential/event management services layer where SWI operates.
• Cvent: Event management software and services platform serving corporate event planners — competes with SWI at the enablement layer for event technology, registration, and logistics, but does not deliver full-service creative event production.

Broad incumbents

• Freeman: Large incumbent in event production, audiovisual services, and trade show logistics — comparable in event production/AV capability to SWI's design & production division, though operating at significantly greater scale.

Regional players

• Brands&Culture: Canadian experiential marketing and brand activation agency serving similar enterprise and consumer-brand clients within Canada — a regional peer competing for the same Canadian corporate event and promotional marketing budgets.
