Sector
Product & E-Commerce
Independent makers and retailers in printing, apparel, food and consumer goods.
Independent Canadian brands are adjusting to US tariffs, new trade barriers and shifting online channels.
In our view, three moves matter most: knowing exactly which products carry the margin, having more than one market, and aiming marketing where the margin is. We help with all three.

Common Challenges
- US tariffs and new trade barriers
