Substance is the independent agency that ingeniously and boldly propels local and international brands forwards. With our special formula that blends creation, content and media, we’re the one-stop shop acting as a catalyst for your success.

The result? A fully integrated approach that aligns all your communications in a single direction. Guided by calculated strategy, we find the perfect balance between our specialties to set up a personalized formula adapted for your success.

The secret force of this formula is our creativity. We’re never content with the status quo, so we’ve become masters at rethinking our methods. With our fingers on the pulse of the industry and our eyes on the prize, we’re the free electrons letting the current flow between your brand and your audience.

The key to our success is trusting relationships. Our teams’ symbiosis builds strong and lasting connections. Our collaborative approach places you at the centre of everything to bring out the best of each element. Together, we can level up and take your communications further.

That’s why, after more than 12 years of refining our expertise, we partnered up with another giant that’s just as ambitious us: Church+State. Together, we are Group 219: a network of Canadian independent and specialized agencies, all working in perfect harmony to deliver results thanks to the best tools and talents. We now count over 75 specialists in Montreal and 25 in Toronto to work harder and better for the clients who put their trust in us. By combining our ambitions, we can forge relationships based on shared moments of complicity to reach new heights together.
