What nacelles&co does

nacelles&co is a Montreal-based boutique consulting firm (bureau de projets) founded in 2019 that provides communications strategy and business advisory services to what it calls "change agents" — non-profits (OBNLs), agricultural SMEs, environmental organizations, and impact-driven startups, primarily in Quebec. The firm operates a traditional professional services model with no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is built on a team of three core associates (Anne-Marie Viens, Karine Casault, Isabelle Demers) plus approximately eight specialized collaborators covering strategy, graphic design, web writing, copywriting, and visual communications. Its service portfolio spans seven interconnected areas: impact acceleration (Propulsion d'impact), communication and commercialization planning, public relations, digital communications and content strategy, business strategy and issues management, training, and project office support. Some engagements are eligible for government-subsidized financing through the firm's accreditations with Réseaux Agriconseils and the Fonds Écoleader program.

The firm has served 40+ client organizations across the agri-food, environmental, social economy, community, and retail sectors, with named clients including Fonds Climat du Grand Montréal, Régénération Canada, Planetair, Semis Urbains, Écosolaris, SCIRBI, and Global-Watch. Revenue is generated through custom, project-based engagements with multi-year contract cadences and quote-based pricing; no revenue figures are publicly disclosed. GTM is sales-led and referral-driven, leveraging the firm's website portfolio, LinkedIn/social presence, and partner channels (Agriconseils, Fonds Écoleader, Efficiency Capital). The firm is privately held, partner-owned, and operates from a single office in Montréal with no external investors, no subsidiaries, and no reported M&A or funding activity. AI is used internally as a productivity layer (Claude.ai, Deepl, Antidote, Canva) under a published AI charter, but no AI capabilities are productized or offered to clients.
