Since 2013, WebMarketers has been an industry leader for marketing solutions in Ottawa, with international reach. They are a fully-integrated digital agency working with businesses of all sizes, helping them get noticed through web design, digital marketing, video and animation (via Phantom Productions).
“We’re really seeing the video (short-form and high production value) and animation side expand. We launched Phantom Productions only 4 years ago and it’s not about 25% of our overall business, and a large contributor to our clients’ advertising success.”
Five partners are at the helm of WebMarketers: Kyle Smendziuk (CEO), Dave Kachaniwsky (Managing Partner), Chris Roussakis (Creative Director), Mike Kachaniwsky (Director of Marketing), and James Gollner (Director of Design). Their significant expertise is further enriched by their more than 30 employees, contractors and freelancers.
Local Origins to World-Wide Reach
About 98% of their clients are Canadian, with up to 70% being local to Ottawa. They continue to scale and are growing their international presence while remaining rooted in Westboro.
“We see our company continuing to embrace well-known local brands to provide them with both the strategic and creative uplift to reach their full potential.” Kyle shared with us. “At the same time, we continue to do work with more and more national and international companies who are based in Ottawa and like to work with local vendors so we can do business in person.”
Their work is relationship driven, offering full service marketing, web and video solutions that are strategy first. This curated and customized plan for every client means from start to finish the brand can be brought to life uniquely and with detailed attention.
There are a lot of changes happening in their industry, and these changes can move fast. With the rise of AI, WebMarketers recognizes the need to integrate tools for efficiency while also remaining human. Their innovation and hands-on support is valued by clients.
Finding Community in Westboro
Since 2024, WebMarketers has called Westboro home, although landing here was a long-time goal. They always wanted this location, and space, for visibility of their own brand. Now, they are looking ahead to grow and feel that Westboro remains the “vibe”, a common thread many businesses and community members share.
Creative pursuits thrive with Phantom Productions, the video and animation studio, with future studio space and opportunities for creators and clients. Westboro is at the heart of these growth plans.
“We chose Westboro for the community vibe and as a strategic business location as accessibility to clients is important for the personable approach we take to business relationships. A lot of our business is local and the visibility of street signage was attractive within the village, where many ideal customers like to eat/shop. Many of us also live or have lived in the area and it’s our favourite area in the city, with tons of great spots to walk, eat, entertain, live and relax!”
You don’t need to look any further than this very website to see WebMarketers work in action; their team helped the Westboro Village BIA re-do the website in 2025 to creative and engaging results.
When they aren’t hard at work for clients, the team at WebMarketers are connecting with the community around them, and with fellow business owners. “We love the community events in the summer and would love to see, or lead, a business owner social in the New Year.”
Stay tuned to see what that may look like!
