The Cult Agency

What The Cult Agency does

The Cult Agency (legal name: Culte Agency) is a private, Québec-based boutique social media management and content creation agency serving lifestyle brands in the food, beverage, tourism, fashion, and agrofood verticals. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Montréal, the firm offers three integrated service pillars — social media management across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok; on-site photography and videography; and influencer campaign management — sold as recurring weekly subscriptions (Duo at $200/week, Trio at $280/week, Full 360 at $15.99 CAD/month per account) or as project-based content packages ($400-$600 for photo and video deliverables, $400 for a four-influencer campaign). Its customer base spans enterprise and mid-market names (W Hotel, Intercontinental, Château Ste Michelle, Boréale, Frank and Oak, Mackage, Métro, Jägermeister) alongside SMB accounts, with operations across Montréal, Quebec City, Laval, and Montérégie.

The technology stack is standard creative production tooling — photography, videography, photo/video editing, and social media management platforms — with no disclosed proprietary software, no public API, no AI/ML capabilities, and no patents. The agency distributes services through a direct-to-client motion via its website (culte.ca) and is also developing a non-services revenue line through the Culte E.SHOP sub-brand, which sells photographic prints and wall art. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, institutional investors, or parent company.

Commercially, the model is hybrid subscription-plus-project: predictable weekly recurring fees anchor the social media management book, while content production and influencer coordination contribute higher-margin project revenue and are also bundled into the Full 360 tier. The agency is actively hiring (6 open roles at time of capture) and has no disclosed leadership team or ownership structure beyond being privately held, which represents a notable information gap for investors.

Core offering

The Cult Agency provides social media management, professional content creation (photography and videography), and influencer marketing services primarily to businesses in the food, beverage, tourism, fashion, and agro-food sectors across Quebec.

The agency also operates a small e-commerce shop (Culte E.SHOP) selling photographic prints.

Product overview

The Cult Agency operates as a traditional marketing services agency rather than a software platform. The core offerings consist of three main service pillars: Social Media Management (handling Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok profiles with various pricing tiers including Duo, Trio, and Full 360 packages), Content Creation (professional photography and video production including moodboard ideation, on-location shoots, and editing), and Influencer Promotion (strategic selection, campaign coordination, and impact analysis). Services are priced as distinct packages: Social Media Management ranges from $200-$280/week depending on platform count; Content Creation includes photos at $450-600 and videos at $400-600; Influencer campaigns start at $400 for 4 influencers. The agency also operates a separate E.SHOP selling photographic prints. No modules, add-ons, or platform architecture is described—the agency delivers human-driven creative and strategic services rather than a software product.
