Vancouver Digital Marketing Agency — Obsessed With What Makes People Buy
Back in 2015, in Vancouver, Canada – as a group of scrappy underdogs we were pursuing a question: What actually drives people to buy, follow, or believe in a brand? Thats how Setsail Marketing started.
Tired of surface-level marketing, we became obsessed with uncovering the triggers behind every click, sign-up, and sale. Our team of experts – creatives, strategists, and data nerds – built Setsail Marketing for brands that want more than vanity metrics. We help you crack the code on what your customers want, so you can win more sales, loyalty, and real business growth.
Today, we’re Google Partners and a B Corp certified digital marketing agency trusted across Canada and the US. From creative branding and web design to SEO and performance marketing, we design and shoot campaigns that get people to take action—not just notice you. If you want marketing that’s driven by curiosity, backed by data, and focused on results, let’s build your next win together.
Setsail set high expectations for creativity, attention to detail, collaboration, and communication.

The Setsail ROI Framework: Turning Insights into Revenue—Every Time
At Setsail Marketing, we’ve engineered a proven digital marketing process that takes you from market research to measurable revenue—fast. It starts with Vision Mapping, where our experts uncover what your customers actually want, identify profitable segments, and find hidden opportunities your competitors miss. This is now superpowered by AI: AHREFs, Perplexity, GPT, Claude, and many others.
With a data-backed growth plan in hand, our in-house team springs into action: shooting video and photo in our Vancouver studio, designing creative assets, building automated funnels, and tuning your digital platforms for results. Once everything is ready, we launch your campaigns, drive targeted traffic, and optimize every step of your customer journey for conversions and ROI. But we don’t stop there—our team continuously monitors, tests, and iterates, ensuring your marketing investment compounds over time and delivers real, sustained business growth. That’s how we help ambitious brands lead their market, not just compete.

Economic Development Manager at City of Santa Cruz
An incredible experience. The team embraced the logo with pride (even placing stickers around the city!), and the creative direction aligned perfectly with our vision. They’ve been the most enjoyable vendor to work with in years, blending professionalism with fun and creativity. Their attention to detail, openness to feedback, and ability to pivot impressed us throughout the process. We loved the progress made in every meeting and appreciated their organization with tools like ClickUp and Figma. Setsail’s dedication, passion, and over-delivery made this collaboration truly memorable!
