-
Strategy
Absolute clarity. No jargon, just substance. We translate your complex challenges into a logical strategy that drives every step of our execution. Market analysis, positioning, customer journeys: every recommendation rests on data, not hunches.
-
Creativity
Graphic intent. We craft visual identities and content that don't just look good: they carry a message, assert a tone and capture attention. Then we roll them out everywhere, in print, on the web and on social, with the consistency that builds recognition.
-
Technology
Zero friction. Design is nothing without flawless technical execution. Backed by the best AI tools, our sites and interactive experiences are coded to be smooth, durable and accessible to everyone. Craft CMS, WordPress or Shopify, hosted in Canada, Law 25 compliant.
Solutions tailored to your needs
We start from your reality to build a clear strategy that guides every decision. From brand positioning to web development, we shape the content, design the image and deliver concrete results.
Six disciplines, one team, and an honest starting point: a diagnosis of your real needs before a single dollar is committed. That's how we've worked since 2007.

Frequently asked questions
What does Side•Car actually do?
Side•Car is an integrated communications agency based in Montreal, founded in 2007 by Paul Paré. Six disciplines under one roof: marketing strategy, brand identity, content marketing, advertising, web design and visual production. "Integrated" means one team owns the result from start to finish. For Shur-Fast, a century-old Canadian company, we redid the identity, the website, the catalogue and the stationery, then built the ad calendar to go with it. The message we settled on in strategy showed up unchanged in the creative and in the media buy, with no hand-offs between suppliers along the way. We work in French and English for clients like Metro, Super C, Aliments du Québec and Sanivac.
How much does working with an agency like Side•Car cost?
At Side•Car, most services (strategy, branding, content, visual production, advertising management) are billed from a reference rate of $120/h, adjusted to the size of the client and the engagement, with a detailed quote before anything is committed. Web projects have clear ranges: a showcase site runs between $3,000 (one-page) and $7,200, an advanced multi-page site can reach $10,000, and an e-commerce site starts at $18,000. Maintenance and cloud hosting run about $50 a month. For digital advertising, plan on at least $10 a day in media budget, roughly the price of a poutine, so a Google Ads campaign gathers enough data to optimize. Before any of that, we recommend the communications audit, currently free (a $1,200 value). It tells you where to invest before you spend a dollar.
Why work with a Montreal communications agency?
Because your market is here, and an agency that lives in it every day understands it faster. We know Law 25, Quebec's French-language signage rules, the local media and the tone that lands here. Bilingual mandates are handled by one team, not translated after the fact. And when something needs to be shot, we're on site that morning. Since 2007 we've worked mostly in Quebec, and in Ontario for Metro and Food Basics.
