About GC Media

We're the marketing team you never had

Most Vancouver small business owners are doing their own marketing — inconsistently, in their spare time, without the tools or strategy to make it work. Hiring a full-time marketing manager costs $70,000+ per year before benefits.

GC Media was built to close that gap. We're a lean, local team that embeds itself in your brand and handles everything — content, ads, photos, social — so you can focus on running your business.

Let's talk about your business
$70k
The cost of a full-time hireThat's salary alone — before benefits, tools, and management. GC Media delivers more for a fraction of the cost.

Local, personal service

We're Vancouver-based and know your market, seasons, and community dynamics.

Results-first approach

Every decision is tied to measurable outcomes — leads, traffic, bookings, and sales.

Why GC Media

Agency firepower,
small business price

01

Vancouver-local expertise

We know Metro Vancouver — the neighbourhoods, the seasonal patterns, the competitive landscape. Our strategies are built for your local market, not copy-pasted from a template.

02

One team, every channel

Instead of managing a photographer, a social media freelancer, and an ad agency separately, you have one team that keeps everything aligned and on-brand.

03

Transparent, flat-fee pricing

No hourly billing surprises. No retainer scope creep. You know exactly what you get each month — and you approve everything before it goes live.

04

Reporting you can actually read

Monthly and bi-weekly reports that speak in plain English — leads, bookings, reach, ad spend ROI. No jargon, no vanity metrics.

The cost comparison that speaks for itself

Vancouver small businesses spend more on a part-time marketing employee — with less output — than a full GC Media Growth retainer that includes ads, photos, content, and social media every month.

No — ad spend is billed directly to your Google or Meta account. The package price covers strategy, setup, creative, management, and optimization. This keeps things fully transparent: you see exactly where every dollar goes, and we never mark up your ad spend.

We require a 3-month minimum to deliver meaningful results — great marketing takes time to build momentum. After the initial term, it's month-to-month with 30 days' notice to cancel. No long-term lock-in, no penalties.

Our primary focus is Metro Vancouver — Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, North Shore, Surrey, and the Tri-Cities. For digital-only services (social, ads, email) we can work remotely with any Canadian business. Photography and video sessions require our team to be on-location.

We send a full monthly content calendar for your review before anything is scheduled. You get full approval rights and unlimited revision requests. Nothing goes live without your sign-off — we work the way you want to work.

Yes. You can upgrade any time with no penalty. Downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing month after the initial 3-month term. We'll help you evaluate the right plan as your business grows and your needs change.

We work primarily with restaurants, cafés, retail boutiques, health and wellness studios, trades businesses, professional services, and real estate. If you're a local small business with customers to reach, we know how to reach them.

Paid ads typically show measurable results within 2–4 weeks. Social media growth and organic reach build over 60–90 days. SEO and content marketing compound over 3–6 months. We set honest expectations from day one and share results at every milestone.
