Bold x Collective is an award-winning, strategy-first growth marketing agency. We partner with commerce brands that want to be found, chosen, and remembered.

Every engagement starts with strategy. We audit where a brand stands, map where its customers search, and build a plan tied to commercial goals. Execution follows the plan, not the other way around.

What we do

  • Strategy: positioning, market entry, channel planning, growth roadmaps, and fractional CMO advisory.
  • Search and Visibility: technical SEO, site architecture, keyword mapping, local, multi-market and international SEO, and AI Search Optimization across the engines now shaping discovery.
  • Performance Marketing: paid search and paid social across Google, Meta, and TikTok, built around the retail calendar and measured against revenue.
  • Content and Social: social strategy, social media management, editorial, and creator and influencer programmes.
  • Production: photography, video, podcasts, and campaign content, made in our own studio.
  • Digital Experience and Commerce: website design and builds, Shopify and Shopify Plus, conversion rate optimization, and lifecycle email in Klaviyo.

Who we work with

Fashion, beauty, wellness, consumer and DTC, hospitality, food and beverage, and technology brands. Clients range from founder-led e-commerce businesses to global brands entering the Canadian market.

Select work

  • A leading Canadian PR agency now ranks first in Toronto and Montreal for its most competitive keywords and appears in AI search results across major engines.
  • A global K-beauty brand entered Canada with bilingual paid social and exceeded its sales targets by 300% with three months to spare. Hero products sold out at Sephora.
  • A sustainable e-commerce brand doubled revenue within 30 days after an SEO and conversion audit and a targeted campaign.

How we work

Senior-led on every account. The people who scope the work are the people who do the work. Clear scopes, fixed foundations, and retainers built for long-term growth. We work in Semrush, Google Analytics, and Search Console, and every report covers what was done, what changed, and what comes next. We do not promise rankings. We commit to the work that earns them.

Where we work

Headquartered in Toronto (Vaughan), with locations in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, Montreal, and London, serving brands across Canada, the US, and the UK.

Success stories

Challenge

A leading Canadian PR agency knew its category and its competitors. Its digital presence did not match the agency it had built. The goal was to own search for its most competitive keywords in Toronto and Montreal, and to appear in the AI-generated answers where prospective clients now research agencies before making contact.

Solution

We began with a full technical audit covering site architecture, Core Web Vitals, page speed, schema, and internal linking. Technical SEO was rebuilt, followed by on-page optimisation and a keyword strategy built on how prospective clients actually search. Local SEO was built separately for Toronto and Montreal, since each market behaves differently. AI Search Visibility work followed to earn a place in AI-generated answers.

Result

The agency now ranks first in both Toronto and Montreal for its most competitive keywords. It appears in AI-generated search results across major engines. The full technical, local, and AI Search Visibility programme was delivered on a single roadmap, and the engagement is ongoing.

Challenge

A globally recognised K-beauty brand was entering Canada. The brief was to build awareness from zero in both English and French markets and drive sell-through at Sephora, one of the most competitive retail environments in the country. Every dollar of media needed to point at a specific commercial outcome.

Solution

We built the full paid social programme from the ground up across Meta and TikTok. Campaigns were bilingual and adapted to each audience rather than simply translated. The media plan was built around the Sephora retail calendar, including sale events, hero product launches, and seasonal pushes. Content strategy and market entry strategy ran alongside the paid programme.

Result

The brand exceeded its sales targets by 300% with three months to spare. Select hero products sold out online and in Sephora stores. Campaigns delivered over 27.8 million impressions across Meta and TikTok at a blended CPC of $0.28. The engagement was renewed for the following fiscal year.

Challenge

A sustainable e-commerce brand had traded for years with a loyal following, a strong product, and a genuine commitment to its values. The digital programme was not converting at the level the brand deserved. The goal was to find what was holding back sales and turn existing demand into revenue ahead of the holiday season.

Solution

We began with a full audit covering SEO gaps, website conversion friction, and campaign history. Conversion rate optimisation followed, with targeted changes to the purchase journey. We then built a December campaign across CPC ads, retargeting sequences, and email to reach new and returning customers at the same time.

Result

Revenue increased 100% within 30 days. The site reached a conversion rate of 5.73%. The campaign delivered more than 900 targeted clicks in the campaign window. The engagement is ongoing.
