A friend of mine opened a cafe less than a year ago. The coffee is good, the food’s even better, and the regulars swear by it. But there was one big problem: no new customers were coming in.
Despite all their efforts online, their posts weren’t getting enough engagement. They followed trends and even invested in a few ads, but nothing seemed to work.
So she finally reached out to me, thinking that since I write for Best Calgary, I’d know a thing or two about online marketing. Unfortunately, content marketing isn’t really my forte.
Still, I wanted to help. So our team did what we do best: research. We looked into Calgary’s top content marketing agencies that actually know how to turn clicks into customers. Here are the best ones we found!
How much does hiring a content marketing agency cost in Calgary?
Hiring a content marketing agency in Calgary costs from $2,500 to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the scope of services, your business goals, and your budget.

1. MeDM
Address: 104, 1240 Kensington Rd NW Suite 323
Phone: +1 403 775 0506
Business hours: Mon-Fri: 10 AM – 5:30 PM
MeDM stood out to us for their ability to adjust to clients’ project requirements. In fact, one client we talked to mentioned that when they requested more blog posts, MeDM still delivered on time.
Another highlight is their confidence in working with different types of organisations. The people we spoke to belong to commercial, industrial, and institutional organisations.
Moreover, they offer a diverse range of content marketing services, allowing them to accommodate a wider client base. They offer 16 content marketing services, including blog posts, infographics, and white papers.
We also love that their content marketing services extend outside the web. They print truck wraps with a business’s unique selling proposition.
The only downside is that they’re a boutique agency, which is not the ideal partner for those who want to scale their businesses quickly.
Exceptional team
“After interviewing a number of top agencies to help North American Construction Group with a few important projects, we eventually chose MeDM as our partner. Since then, we have worked hand-in-hand with David Still and his talented team, and have found the agency to be creative, efficient, and knowledgeable. With operations in Canada, the United States, and Australia, it was important for us to find an agency that could easily navigate our world, and effectively help communicate our message. MeDM has delivered in spades, and has provided us with valuable guidance and assistance in corporate branding, website development, and social media administration. Today, as our company continues to grow and expand into new areas, we continue to work with MeDM and their exceptional team.”

It’s been an absolute pressure working with them
“It has been an absolute pleasure working with David and his team. As a small non-profit organization our needs are very unique, however David and his team took the time to understand what we do and what our future vision was. They provided advice and guidance as we navigated through developing a new strategy and brand. The help they provided through the logo development along with the presentation design they provided allowed us to pitch the new concept to our board with overwhelming approval. We are very much looking forward to working with them on the next phase of work we need to get done.”

2. Beanstalk Growth Marketing
Address: 1111 3 St SE #1
Phone: +1 587 735 2326
Business hours: Mon-Fri: 9 AM – 5 PM
We recommend Beanstalk for businesses that rely heavily on video ads. They specialise in producing high-quality video ads that boost engagement and conversations.
What we really like is that clients don’t need to come in with a full brief. The team handles all tasks, including planning, scripting, and producing videos that align with the brand.
Their explainer videos are especially popular, and we can see why. These short, snappy videos present the business’s products and services in an easy-to-digest way. We think this is very fitting in today’s world, where the audience is prone to scrolling fast.
Their free audit is a huge plus. It’s very helpful in identifying what’s working and what needs improvement.
However, they have limited blogging services. Aside from infographics, they don’t do any other writing tasks, which is bad news for those who want content while also improving their search engine ranking.
Highly recommend for any business
“Beanstalk Growth Marketing truly lives up to its name — they know how to plant the right seeds and nurture brands to thrive! Their team brings fresh, creative strategies to the table and backs them up with results-driven execution. From the first interaction, they were professional, insightful, and genuinely invested in growth. If you’re looking for a marketing partner who understands both the big picture and the fine details, Beanstalk is the real deal. Highly recommend for any business ready to elevate its presence and impact.”

I’m recommending you guys to my new clinic
“My old clinic worked with a few agencies before Beanstalk but I have to say what stood out the most about them was the level of organization and structure they have for the clients. In almost 2 years of working with Haya and Jeremie we have learned so much about how to properly run our Google, Facebook, and Instagram ads that when I left I was able to transfer all of the work the team had done for us because they provided access to all of it!!!! I’d honestly give Beanstalk 100 stars if I could and thank you for being so patient with me during our approvals! As soon as our current marketing contract is done I am recommending you guys to my new clinic!”

3. Creative Elements
Address: 830 Centre Ave NE
Phone: +1 587 673 1553
Business hours: Mon-Fri: 8 AM – 8 PM
One of Creative Elements’ advantages over competitors is their over a decade of experience. They’ve been here since 2012, giving them a huge head start in handling businesses in various industries.
Their biggest strength is definitely content writing. Whether it’s social media content, website copy, or email marketing campaigns, their team knows how to craft messages that connect to the audience.
We also love that they follow systematic steps in every project. It just shows that they’ve already figured out the perfect formula for delivering great content.
Before creating a plan, they really try to get to know the brand’s purpose, audience, and success metrics. This helps them ensure every content is on strategy.
Clients also appreciate their flexibility. It doesn’t matter if a company only needs one type of content. They’ll meet their needs and plan a strategy aligned with their business goals.
That said, they don’t produce video ads, which might be a dealbreaker for brands wanting more multimedia options.
We have an excellent experience
“We had an excellent experience working with Creative Elements to bring our website to life. Their team went above and beyond to incorporate features that are essential for our business, like our rep finder map, which makes it easy for our clients to locate representatives in their area. Throughout the entire process, they were responsive, professional, and eager to ensure every detail matched our vision. The end result is a user-friendly, polished website that we’re incredibly proud of. Thank you, Creative Elements, for your hard work and support—we highly recommend your services!”

We’re really happy to work with them
“We are really happy to work with Creative Elements Consulting Inc. The team is amazing and they always made themselves available to answer any questions we had and made requested changes to our website in a timely manner. Thanks to their knowledge and determination our website looks great and it really helps current and potential customers get a good feel for our company. We really worked as a team with them to provide a site that met all of the criteria that we were looking for. The end result was a website that is attractive, organized, effective and easy to use for our clients. Thank you, Creative Elements Consulting Inc., for this awesome job!”

4. Full Blast Creative
Address: 2030 11 St SE Suite 201
Phone: +1 403 608 2661
Business hours: Mon-Fri: 9 AM – 5:30 PM
We were very impressed by Full Blast Creative’s previous works. Their past accomplishments show how they turn companies’ readers into actual clients through valuable content.
One of their past work that moved us is helping a financial audit company achieve an over 300% increase in keyword rankings. A feat like this can only be achieved by producing content that search engines deem helpful to users.
Their content marketing services are impressively diverse as well. Their services range from blogs and e-books to podcasts. Put simply, they have the versatility to craft campaigns that fit perfectly across multiple channels.
We’re also impressed by their broad industry experience. They’ve worked with clients from legal, healthcare, and professional sectors. This is the kind of flexibility we always look for in an agency.
However, some clients we spoke to weren’t satisfied with the return on investment (ROI) of their content. While the content engagement was strong, some felt the financial returns weren’t enough for the amount of funds they’ve spent on the campaign.
We’re thoroughly impressed
“Fencing Calgary has been working with Full Blast Creative, specifically Jeffrey, for the past year. We are thoroughly impressed with their exceptional service and expertise. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of our needs and crafted a tailored marketing strategy that perfectly aligned with our goals. Jeffrey’s professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication to delivering results is truly commendable. I highly recommend Full Blast Creative to any business looking to elevate their marketing efforts. Their commitment to excellence and client satisfaction is unmatched.”
– Jeremy Hill, Google Review
An incredible agency
“Full Blast Creative is an incredible agency. They bring tons of experience to the table and work extremely fast without compromising quality! Micheal and Jeff are super nice and patient, they took the time to understand our needs and created work that perfectly matches our requirements. They also went above and beyond to help us in our marketing efforts. It’s safe to say that I wouldn’t pick any other agency for our marketing!”

5. Konstruct
Address: 1235 26 Ave SE #302
Phone: +1 587 331 6223
Business hours: Mon-Fri: 8 AM – 5 PM
Konstruct offers content marketing services strategically designed for business-to-business (B2B) companies. They know how to capture the attention of business decision-makers through engaging content.
What we really love about this company is its team’s collaborative approach. They actually work with their clients’ subject matter experts (SMEs) when planning to make sure that their content is accurate and highly credible.
Although a bit time-consuming, clients appreciate the team’s effort in knowing their businesses inside out.
For the actual content marketing services, they produce content for almost all channels. They write blogs for websites, content for various social media platforms, and newsletters for email.
However, what we like most is that they also produce engaging LinkedIn posts. LinkedIn is a powerful platform for B2B lead generation, as many businesses have an active LinkedIn account. They create compelling stories through a series of carousels.
Their content marketing services may not be suitable for business-to-consumer (B2C) companies, though. Their writing style isn’t tailored to individual consumers but to business-minded people.
I never hesitate to recommend them to others
“Konstruct has been incredible to work with. Their staff are hard working, very easy to communicate with and are constantly on the ball. They make a point of always following up with us to ensure our campaigns are on schedule, which has been a refreshing change from other marketing agencies we’ve worked with in the past. We’ve seen excellent results in our online presence and a substantial increase in business from our email, linkedin and other marketing campaigns. I never hesitate to recommend them to others who are looking for a marketing agency and want to grow their business.”
– Dalmy Manan, Google Review
I would recommend them to any project
“As a local social media marketing agency, I work with web developers regularly. When I required a developer for a recent project, I hired Konstruct after having heard great things. Working with the Konstruct team was an absolute pleasure. Not only was their work impeccable, they delivered the exact results I was looking for and in record time. They were also quick to converse with myself and my client whenever we required clarification. I would recommend Konstruct to any project, large or small.”
