Geeky Social has been excellent in managing our media buying services. Their team is very prompt, responsive, and always flexible to our requirements. They understand campaign needs well and execute them efficiently, ensuring smooth communication and timely support throughout the process. It has been a great experience working with a team that is both professional and reliable.
Media Buying Review from Ahanaf Ruzlan Rahman
We have been working with Geeky Social for our media buying and performance marketing, primarily focusing on Facebook and Instagram campaigns for Travela. Our experience so far has been very positive. Since collaborating with their team, our campaigns have become much more structured, optimized, and performance-driven. We are seeing consistent improvements in reach, engagement, and overall campaign performance across our social platforms.One of the most noticeable outcomes is that our Facebook and Instagram marketing efforts are performing significantly better than before. Their team pays close attention to data, audience targeting, and campaign optimization, which has helped us run more effective ads and improve overall marketing efficiency.Beyond performance, the best thing about Geeky Social is their attitude and approach to client service. The team is extremely humble, responsive, and professional in every interaction. They take time to understand the business goals and are always willing to go the extra mile to ensure campaigns run smoothly.Their passion for what they do is very evident. Whether it is discussing strategy, reviewing campaign results, or suggesting improvements, they are always proactive and supportive. It feels less like working with an external agency and more like working with a dedicated extension of our own team.Overall, we appreciate their commitment, behavior, and service mindset, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.

Exploring Case Studies of the Best PR Agencies in Canada
While client reviews are valuable in gauging a team’s soft skills, case studies are essential in determining the technical skills of a PR agency in Canada. They showcase how these agencies tailor their strategies to a project’s unique needs and deliver measurable impact to the business.
1. Mash Strategy Success Story
- Challenge: The Indigenous Resource Network (IRN), a community that supports indigenous rights, wanted to promote its loan program. More specifically, it wanted to encourage the public to contact their federal ministers about the said program.
- Solution: Mash Strategy developed an advocacy PR campaign titled "Ownership Changes Everything,” which included tailored brand materials such as a custom logo, visual guidelines, graphic posters, and impactful videos. It also leveraged social media PR, encouraging IRN’s audience to take actionable steps. Additionally, the Canadian PR agency created a website with a built-in widget that allowed the public to actively engage with IRN’s campaign, turning it into a digital advocacy platform.
- Results: With Mash Strategy’s expertise in digital PR and advocacy communications, IRN saw a 300% increase in social media reach and a significant boost in audience engagement. The campaign’s success led IRN to continue collaborating with the PR agency.
2. AMP It Up PR Success Story
- Challenge: A tech startup wanted to boost its brand awareness and attract venture capital investors. However, it struggled to gain visibility across North America’s saturated tech market, prompting it to seek assistance from a specialized PR agency in Canada.
- Solution: AMP it Up PR devised a digital PR strategy to improve the client’s market positioning. As part of the service, the agency created SEO-optimized blogposts, ranking for the term “AI startups in New York.” It also secured media coverage in TechCrunch and Business Insider, positioning the founders as industry leaders. To further amplify the reach, the Canada PR agency ran LinkedIn and Google Ads, targeting key investors in tech and AI.
- Results: Through the Canada PR agency’s expertise, the tech startup grew investor inquiries by 300%, website traffic by 500%, and raised $10 million in funding.
3. Turko Marketing Success Story
- Challenge: Montreal International is a non-profit organization that assists global companies in recruiting top talent for its regional offices. With such a big goal, it needed a Canada PR agency to accurately target its intended audiences — skilled professionals willing to relocate to a new country.
- Solution: Turko Marketing researched and segmented the target audiences by industry and location. Then, it implemented SEO and promoted recruitment across social media, media relations, and local media networks and partners. To amplify the impact, the PR consultant ran Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube ads, conducted A/B tests, and performed remarketing strategies.
- Results: Montreal International’s conversion rates grew by 108%, with its campaign reach expanding to over 10 countries. The client also increased candidate applications by 54% and achieved an $11.50 cost per acquisition.
4. RadonicRodgers Strategy+ Success Story
- Challenge: Ethiopian Airlines Canada tasked RadonicRodgers Strategy+ with improving its brand awareness, promoting its airlines and flights, and managing its reputation and social media accounts.
- Solution: Throughout its retained partnership with Ethiopian Airlines Canada, RadonicRodgers Strategy+ highlighted the airline’s strengths, including direct flights to Africa, its modern fleet, and its excellent safety record. It also established strategic PR partnerships, organized trade and media events, set up and managed localized social media accounts, and developed microsites and landing pages with regionally specific content.
