OUR STORY

Fifteen years ago, brothers Scott and Andrew McGillivray saw an opportunity to do things differently.

At a time when brands, talent, and audiences were connected through layers of agencies, broadcasters, and middlemen, they believed there was a more direct path. One built on authentic relationships, compelling content, and creative partnerships that could drive better results with less friction. The industry was changing. They saw it coming.

Combining Scott’s experience as an entrepreneur and television personality with Andrew’s background in business growth and sales, they launched McGillivray Group alongside a small team of ambitious creatives and marketers.

What started as a bold idea quickly gained momentum.

Today, McGillivray Group has grown into an industry-leading media company, partnering with some of Canada’s most recognized brands to create partnerships, content, and experiences that reach audiences wherever they are.

While we’ve grown considerably over the years, our approach hasn’t changed. Challenge convention, move quickly, and never settle for the way things have always been done.

OUR FOUNDATION

WHAT MAKES US... US

Celebrity Talent Is In Our DNA

Celebrity talent is in our DNA

Talent has been part of our story since day one. We understand what makes a great partnership because we've spent years creating content alongside some of the most recognized personalities in the country.

Creative + Execution

Creative + Execution

Because clients shouldn't have to hand an idea off six times before it becomes reality. We can develop the idea, secure the partnership, produce the content, and extend the campaign. Most companies own one piece of that process. We own the whole thing.

Access To Every Screen

Access to every screen

Our roots in television continue to open doors. Through our close ties to the broadcast industry and our sister company, McGillivray Entertainment Media, we help brands access opportunities that extend beyond traditional content marketing.

Relationships Transactions

Relationships > Transactions

We've built our business around long-term relationships. That's why clients stay. That's why talent works with us repeatedly. That's why broadcasters trust us.
