Our Ideology

Each day thousands of new businesses turn to social media and search engines as their preferred marketing channel. Since 2016, Encipher has developed solutions that make your business stand out to build a strong online reputation.

Driven By AI

It’s no secret that social and search platforms like Google & Meta have astronomical amounts of data on their users. This data is what has allowed tech giants to create the most advanced, accurate and measurable advertising platforms that exist today. Advertisers (like us) leverage these platforms to buy ad space and make sure our clients' ads are being seen only by those we choose.

Generate quality leads and customers with our PPC and social media ads in Ottawa.

An extension of your digital marketing team to propel your growth.

Your success is our main priority. We keep communication lines open and transparent to make sure you are getting everything you need to grow your business. All strategic decisions are made with your approval and with your best interest in mind.

"[...] For several years, I handled all the marketing for my company, but I reached a point where I was burning through ads and the ROI wasn't sufficient to continue. Once we connected, they immediately made changes to my ad program, and I began to see results. I highly recommend working with Encipher—these guys know their stuff!"
