We are a Calgary advertising agency that helps your brand be seen and remembered.

Blair & Co. is a Calgary advertising agency that builds paid advertising campaigns, creative strategy, and high-performance marketing assets for businesses across Western Canada. From Google Ads and social advertising to creative production and conversion-focused design, we build lead generation systems that drive awareness, generate qualified leads, and grow revenue.
Media programs focused on building your business.
ix lead generation channels our Calgary advertising agency runs most often for Western Canadian businesses. Each one mapped to a real buyer scenario. Most clients run 2 or 3 of these together.
Google Search Ads
The foundation of most lead generation programs we run as a Calgary advertising agency. Capture buyers searching for your service or your competitor’s brand terms at the exact moment they’re ready to hire. Built around purchase intent, tracked from impression to conversion, and optimized weekly. The highest-ROI channel for most Calgary service businesses.
- Search
- Brand defense
- Competitor terms
Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram)
Audience-driven paid social for Calgary businesses in both B2C and B2B markets. Conversion campaigns, lead forms, retargeting, and the Conversions API setup that recovers signal lost to iOS privacy changes. Every Meta program we run as a Calgary advertising agency is creative-first and refreshed often to keep performance from plateauing.
- Conversion campaigns
- Lead ads
- CAPI setup
Conversion Tracking & Attribution
The unglamorous work that makes every lead generation program accountable. GA4, Google Tag Manager, Meta Conversions API, phone call tracking, CRM integration, and server-side tracking built so you can see exactly which advertising channels are generating qualified leads and which ones are not.
- GA4
- GTM
- CAPI
- Call tracking
Account Audits & Rebuilds
You are spending money on ads but you do not trust the numbers, the agency, or both. Blair & Co. audits your advertising account, documents what is working and what is not, and either delivers a clean rebuild plan or rebuilds it ourselves. No long-term lock-in required to find out where your lead generation program is leaking.

How a Blair & Co. agency paid program actually gets built and run.
Most Calgary advertising agency paid media engagements ramp over 90 days. Audit and setup in the first month. Initial optimization in month two. Scale in month three. Below is the process step by step.
STEP 1
Audit & Setup
- WEEK 1
STEP 2
Launch
- WEEK 2 - 4
Initial campaigns live. Baseline data flowing. Creative shipped. First-week-out review with you to confirm the numbers reading right and the leads showing up are the kind you wanted.
STEP 3
Optimize
- WEEK 4 - 12
Iterative optimization. Bid strategy tuning. Creative testing. Audience refinement. Negative keyword work. Weekly check-ins, monthly reports. You see exactly what is moving and why.
STEP 4
Scale
- Month 3+
Once cost-per-lead is predictable, we scale budget on what is working and cut what is not. Add channels where it makes sense. Consolidate where it does not. The retainer becomes about growth, not setup.
Three management tiers. Pick what fits your spend.
Most Calgary advertising agencies will not quote paid media management without a 45-minute discovery call. We will. These are real prices for real scope. Setup is one-time. Monthly is ongoing. Ad spend is separate (and entirely yours, paid directly to the platforms).
