While one should never underestimate the importance of establishing a strong online presence, many embark on their journey as business owners thinking that digital marketing is a simple endeavour to take on to their business operations.
Having his fair share of experiences in supporting clients as a salesperson for Yellow Pages, Elie Wahnoun knows the pitfalls and challenges associated with the establishment of an online presence for a modern entrepreneur. It’s based on this background that Elie built Courimo, a successful digital marketing agency based in Montreal, Quebec.
Finding His Calling
Even as a teenager, and early on in his career as he was completing his Business Management degree at John Molson School of Business, Elie was always on the move. He was constantly looking for the next B2B or B2C sales opportunity that would end up giving him the sense of accomplishment that would drive him, all while continuing his studies full-time.
He took on a sales position in different industries, including retail, telecommunications, finance, payroll and finally, digital marketing. It’s during Elie’s time at Yellow Pages that he finally found his true calling; beyond simply selling an online solution to businesses, he strived to be a reference for his clients every step of the way.
In fact, helping others grow their business has been one of Elie’s driving factors, to a point where it has become as important to him as growing his own business.
Therefore, if you’re looking for hands-on support from an online marketing agency, including search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC/Google Ads) strategies for your business and many other digital projects, take a look at what Courimo can do for you!
Leading Up to the Entrepreneurial Leap of Faith
Elie began his digital marketing journey at Yellow Pages in 2017, where he was considered a top performer due to exceeding sales quotas by 160% per month and was also awarded The Rookie of the Year Award. His journey however was cut short 11 months after his start when he made the decision to quit despite being highly successful in his role.
While he found great interest in selling online presence solutions to businesses, there was always this lingering need for him to grow professionally and address different business’ pain points. He knew that pursuing his own business would allow him to take responsibility for each client’s strategy from A-Z, including the ads management, which wasn’t the case beforehand.
It’s his sense of entrepreneurship and his ability to grow a customer base independently that motivated him to start his own business. Alas, Courimo became a registered business on March 1st, 2018. Sacrificing a higher income in order to launch his own agency was the leap of faith he was willing to take.
The Online Marketing Agency’s Early Days
At first, Courimo targeted the real estate industry because of Elie’s talent in easily connecting with real estate brokers as well as his experience with working alongside such clients in the past. In fact, the digital agency’s name derives from courtier immobilier (real estate broker in French)!
What was a very niche client base quickly grew through referrals in just 6 months, after which Elie found himself having to be more selective due to increased demand for his digital marketing services. Though it was a challenge, the self-made entrepreneur loved every second of the process. He was then driven to open up the gates to a wide variety of industries, ranging from small to large businesses in Canada and serving almost every industry so long as the match felt right for both parties.
Top-Rated Digital Marketing Services
In less than five years, with its remarkable growth as a company and solid reputation, Courimo attracted many B2B clients. The agency rapidly became a Google Partner and was recognized nationally for its performance and results:
- #1 PPC Agency in Montreal by Clutch
- Top 30 Digital Marketing Agency in Canada by Clutch
- Top B2B Companies by Clutch
- Top Digital Marketing Company by GoodFirms
As of today, Courimo has a 5-star reputation and over 150 reviews throughout the whole web, including Google and other review platforms. The company prides itself on the constant recognition it receives from esteemed digital marketing review companies. Elie has since set his company’s standards to provide impeccable services while always keeping the constantly evolving digital trends in mind!
