FAQs

  • We’re based in Abbotsford, BC, but we can help you with your marketing needs no matter where you’re located. If you need photography, however, then it’s obviously best if you’re located near to us. We have a photographer here in Abbotsford to handle the Lower Mainland, and also a photographer in Lynden, WA that helps with clients in NW Washington State.

  • We wanted a name that stood out—something with personality, not another generic marketing agency name. “Sticky” comes from Made to Stick, one of the best marketing books out there, and because great marketing sticks. “Syrup” is all about the magic sauce that makes a brand unforgettable. Plus, we’re Canadian, so syrup just made sense.

  • Technically, we’re new, but we’ve spent years marketing our own brands, testing what works, and ditching what doesn’t. Now, we’re applying that experience to help businesses like yours grow—without the slow, outdated agency approach.

  • We’re leaner. We don’t have unnecessary overhead or bloated staff. But most importantly, we don’t waste time on marketing materials that you don’t need.
