About Us
A Boutique Marketing Agency in Calgary & Kelowna
We built Violet & Vine because we got tired of watching good businesses get sold bad marketing. We do things differently, and we think you should too.
Our Story
We started Violet & Vine because we were done doing it someone else’s way.
Between us we have close to two decades of experience from multiple marketing agencies. We’ve managed big accounts, led teams, and delivered real results for real businesses. We’ve also had to sit across from clients who were sold a bill of goods that was only designed to bring the agency profit, was never going to work, and we had to scramble to make up for false promises that we never made. We will never do that again.
If you’re here, maybe you know how most agencies work, if not, let us tell you. The model was always the same. Same templated lead magnet, same templated email follow up, same templated landing page, same automated ads strategy wasting your money with no one monitoring it, same 30-day results guarantee that never happens. The exact same strategy fired at every client regardless of where they were starting from or what they actually needed. Why? Because templates equal efficiency, and efficiency equals profit for the agency. We spent literal years executing someone else’s poor playbook and struggling to make it make sense.
So, we left. We built something we can actually be proud of with clients we genuinely want to work with, doing work we believe in. We keep our roster small so that every partnership gets real attention. We take the time upfront to audit, find the gaps, build a proper foundation, and go from there. We don’t ask what you want, we find out what you need. We don’t promise results we can’t guarantee. If we don’t know the answer, we’re not afraid tell you, and then we’ll work to figure it out.
We also made a decision early on that we wanted to build a business that gave us room to live outside of it. To take care of ourselves, spend time with our families, and actually get inspired by the world around us. Wouldn’t you know it, that’s benefitted the quality of our work. Our clients don’t need to babysit us or sit through weekly check-ins just to feel like things are moving. They hand off their marketing trusting us to do what’s right, because that’s what we do. It really is that simple.
We are people first, marketers second, and we work with clients who we genuinely want to see succeed. That part makes all the difference.

Why Choose Us
No Cookie-Cutter Playbooks
Your business isn’t generic and your marketing strategy shouldn’t be either. We start every engagement with real discovery to figure out what will actually move the needle for you specifically.
Senior Expertise, Always
You work directly with us, the founders. Not an account manager, not a junior team learning on your dime. The people who plan & scope your strategy are the same people executing it, and those people are us.
We Don’t Overpromise
Good marketing takes time to compound. We’re not afraid of that and we are upfront with you from day one. We’d rather set realistic expectations than sell you a guarantee we can’t stand behind.
Foundation First
We don’t put lipstick on a pig. If your website or online presence isn’t ready for paid traffic, we’ll fix that first. Building on a weak foundation is how marketing budgets get wasted. We’ll tell you when you’re ready for more.
A Roster We’re Proud Of
We keep our client list intentionally small. Every partnership gets our full attention, not just in the first month, but for as long as we work together. We are genuinely invested in you & your success.
The Right Fit Matters
Marketing works best when there’s trust, transparency, and a genuine working relationship on both sides. If we don’t think we’re right for each other, we’ll say so. We’d rather lose the business than do it badly.
