Pratico Média

What Pratico Média does

Pratico Média is a Quebec City-based B2B content marketing and production agency specializing in food (cooking and nutrition), health, decoration, gardening, and renovation content. Founded as Pratico-Pratiques in 2004 by Caty Bérubé, the agency was formally spun off as a distinct operating entity in 2019 and now sits alongside a publishing division that produces magazines such as 5 ingrédients 15 minutes (Quebec's most-read culinary magazine), Je Cuisine, Les plaisirs minceur de Caty, and Je décore. Its core delivery model is an integrated, in-house production ecosystem — chefs, photographers, videographers, stylists, copywriters, graphic designers, and strategists working from adjacent culinary kitchens and professional studios — combined with multi-channel distribution through the parent group's owned media properties that reach nearly 6 million engaged consumers monthly.

The revenue model is professional-services based, combining project-based and retainer engagements across four service lines: strategic consulting (digital/social/content/go-to-market/employer brand strategy), multi-platform media planning and buying (digital, social, addressable TV, radio, OOH), social media account management, and end-to-end content creation (photography, video, motion design, copywriting, brand identity). Pricing is quote-based and project- or retainer-specific with no public disclosure. Go-to-market is sales-led via dedicated account directors and a recently appointed sales director, supplemented by inbound interest driven by owned-channel audience reach and 7–10 year client relationships. The agency serves 200+ clients, with named enterprise logos concentrated in Quebec food, grocery retail, agriculture associations, and home-improvement verticals (e.g., Canac, Fédération des producteurs d'œufs du Québec, Aliments Roma, Aliments du Québec, El-Ma-Mia, Marché Adonis).

Operationally, Pratico Média is a privately held, founder-controlled Canadian corporation headquartered at 7710 boul. Wilfrid-Hamel, Québec, QC. Reported workforce is ~30 at the agency level and 100+ at the parent group; the parent was ranked 248th among Quebec's 300 largest SMEs by Les Affaires in 2023. Technology stack is anchored on content production facilities, the parent group's publishing platforms, and a Funnel-based cross-channel marketing analytics integration established in October 2023. No external funding, M&A activity, patents, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.
