Monthly selection
Featured agencies — April 2026
Each month we move one place down every published Top 10, so a full year works through the whole list. This month is position 6. Featured status, editorial ranking and paid sponsorship are three separate things and are never traded against each other.
Major Tom
Digital agency operating in Canada and the United States, offering digital marketing, web development and strategy services.
Why choose them
Best fit: search, paid media and brand strategy in one Canadian team. Major Tom's own pages set out brand strategy, paid media, and SEO including GEO and AEO, with offices in Vancouver, Toronto and New York. The service pages are specific enough to assess specialty depth in search and paid media.
Where they may not fit
Neither founding year nor team size is stated on its own site, so third-party figures were not recorded. No verified outcomes or reviews, and no published pricing. Not a boutique design studio.
