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.
-

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

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. The agency brings six disciplines under one roof: marketing strategy, brand identity, content marketing, advertising, web design and visual production. In practice, an SMB can entrust it with a complete rebrand just as easily as an e-commerce website, a Google Ads campaign or a corporate photo session, with a single team accountable for the result, from idea to distribution. That integration prevents the losses that pile up between specialized suppliers: the message shaped at the strategy stage arrives intact in the creative, then in the media buy. Engagements run in both 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 per month. For digital advertising, plan on a minimum of about $10 per day in media budget so a Google Ads campaign gathers enough data to optimize. The recommended starting point remains the communications audit, currently offered free (a $1,200 value): it pinpoints where to invest before committing budget.
Why work with a Montreal communications agency?
Because your market is here, and an agency that lives in it every day understands it faster. A Montreal team knows Quebec's cultural codes, its local media landscape and its regulatory particularities, from Law 25 on the protection of personal information, which every business collecting customer data must meet, to French-language display requirements. At Side•Car, engagements are run in both French and English by the same team, which produces communications that are genuinely bilingual rather than translated after the fact. Proximity also counts in concrete ways: in-person meetings, shoots and photo sessions on location, responsiveness in your time zone. Since 2007, the agency has helped brands from here stand out in their own market first, in Quebec and beyond, before reaching further.
