Our Story

WHO WE ARE

The year was 1997
paste-ups, screen printing and
hand lettered signs were the norm...

Founded in 1997 by Vincent Shank in North Bay, VS Group has been dedicated to helping businesses thrive for over 25 years. Vince’s passion for supporting businesses stems from his extensive experience as an auditor for the CRA, where he witnessed the challenges that business owners face. Often, businesses struggle not because they lack value but because owners may not have expertise in every area of operations or simply can’t do it all themselves. Recognizing this, we offer a team of experts to support you, ensuring your business or organization succeeds and allowing you to focus on what you do best.

Are you looking for a top-tier marketing and design firm? Whether you’re starting a new venture, exploring advertising options, evaluating costs, or reviewing our portfolio, we can help. Our clients choose us because they see tangible results in sales, fundraising, awareness campaigns, and other objectives.

We have the expertise and experience to understand your needs and deliver effective solutions. We’re also committed to transparency, showing you the metrics that demonstrate our impact.

At VS Marketing, your success is our success. This is why we are excited to tell the world how great YOU are.

“VS Marketing employs a proactive approach to our relationship and through that approach has now created a revenue stream for subscriptions for users outside of Ontario as well as an online training platform to offering paid training webinars in order to generate revenue for our organization. As opportunities arise, VS Marketing is quick to mobilize their team for support or ongoing development to continue to evolve our online offerings and expand our market reach.
