Calgary marketing blog insights from Blair and Co.

Calgary Marketing Blog, Published Monthly

Every month, Blair & Co. publishes The Brief, a Calgary marketing blog written for business owners, real estate developers, and marketing leaders who want real insight, not recycled advice.

Each issue covers what is actually happening in the Western Canadian market: buyer behaviour, campaign strategy, and the tactical thinking that moves businesses forward. No fluff. No filler. Just the work.

Calgary's benchmark home price sat at $569,200 in August, down 2 percent from a year ago and off another 0.6 percent from July. Read only that line and you would call the market flat. Look one level deeper and it...
New data from SparkToro puts a number on something Western Canadian business owners have felt for a while. In the first four months of 2026, about 68 percent of U.S. Google searches ended without a single click to any website....
Every July I get the same call. Leads are down, the phone is quiet, and someone wants to pull the campaigns until fall. I get it. But slow is not dead. The market has gone quiet, and quiet is not...

Every spring a client tells me the same thing. The market is back, the phones are ringing again, this is going to be easy. I understand the optimism. But busy is not the same as easy, and spring has a...
Every February a client calls to tell me the year is finally moving, and asks if it is time to spend again. It is. The phones start ringing across Calgary and Edmonton, listings go up, and campaigns come back to...
Every January someone tells me the market has reset. Fresh year, clean slate, buyers ready to spend. I wish it worked that way. What I see across Calgary and Edmonton is the same buyer walking back in with the same...
Every December I get a version of the same question. The year is winding down, the phone is slower, and someone wants to know if any of it worked. I tell them December is the month that answers that. When...
Every November I hear a version of the same thing. The phone is slower, the new leads have thinned out, and someone is ready to coast into the new year. I understand the instinct. But the year is not over,...
Every fall I get a version of the same question. The market feels different, the pressure is gone, and someone wants to know what changed. I tell them the same thing. Nothing broke. The market just got honest. Across Calgary...
