The Cost
What marketing costs in Ottawa — vs EverestX.
Ottawa competes for marketing talent against both a deep tech sector and steady government demand, which keeps salaries firm: a full-time in-house specialist runs CA$60,000–CA$85,000+ plus employer CPP, EI, and Ontario EHT, and an Ottawa agency retainer costs CA$3,000–CA$6,500+ a month per channel. EverestX places an equally-vetted full-time specialist from about $1,700/month ($10–12/hr) — no agency margin, no employer overhead, and your own dedicated marketer rather than a fraction of an account manager’s week.
Full-Time (40 hr/week)
$10–$12/hr

Problems We Solve
The hiring problems every Ottawa business faces.
Solved.
The Problem
Ottawa marketing salaries stay firm because tech and government both compete for the same talent — a full-time hire plus Ontario employer costs is steep for a growing business.

EverestX gives you the same calibre of specialist, remote, from $10–12/hr full-time — a fraction of an Ottawa hire, with no recruitment fees and no employer overhead.
The Problem

EverestX Solves It
You’re interviewing pre-vetted specialists within 48 hours, with flexible terms — scale up or down without a 6-month agency contract.
The Problem
Freelance marketplaces are a quality lottery with no accountability.
EverestX Solves It
Every EverestX specialist is vetted before you meet them, and a replacement guarantee means a bad fit costs you nothing.
About the Ottawa Marketing Market
Hiring marketing in Ottawa.
Ottawa is a quietly strong marketing market — Kanata North is one of Canada’s largest tech parks, and the steady gravity of federal government and public-sector contracts sits alongside it. That dual demand keeps experienced marketers competitive and well-paid, with talent and agencies concentrated around the ByWard Market, Centretown, Hintonburg, and Kanata. For Ottawa SMEs, scale-ups, and agencies staffing delivery, the cost is the constraint: a strong in-house hire runs CA$65k+ once you add CPP, EI, and Ontario EHT, and a single-channel agency retainer can exceed CA$5,000 a month. EverestX gives Ottawa companies a fourth option — pre-vetted, full-time or part-time remote marketing specialists who work in Eastern hours, matched in 48 hours, at $10–12/hr full-time with no recruitment fees and a replacement guarantee. For an Ottawa business it’s the difference between a CA$70k SEO hire and a dedicated, equally-capable specialist for a fraction of the cost.
