This year, our talent partnered with many of Canada’s biggest brands to deliver high-impact, creative campaigns that resulted in expanding our clients’ reach and influence in their target markets.
The Spotlight Agency prides itself in connecting brands with nationally recognized Canadian personalities who authentically relate to their products and services — and the results speak for themselves.

Andrew — star of the hit TV show, Kim’s Convenience, and the co-creator and star of the new CBC comedy Run the Burbs — is a comedian, writer, and producer experienced in self-producing quality social media content.
Andrew wrote and recorded a fun and informative video (that even featured cameos of his adorable kids) that explored all of the smartphone’s incredible features and how they helped enhance his day-to-day life. Andrew shared it on his Instagram feed and stories — to his 78K+ followers — and it was then boosted by the brand.
Just two weeks after it was posted, Andrew’s video had almost 8,000 organic views and 1,000 interactions, including likes, comments, shares, and bookmarks.
