Our Clients

Awards

Sherpa’s been a key vendor for Value Partners’ entire existence. They have worked on everything from client acquisition and retention strategies to helping us build our robust web-based back office systems. This includes a custom-built software solution where all our stakeholders can reach our experts and seek technical information in a streamlined, reliable way. We also are partnering with Sherpa on a new tactic for engaging with our customers that we call ‘Digital Event-in-a-Box”. The Sherpa team is consistently bringing us new ideas on how to drive value for our shareholders and unit holders alike.

- Ian Proven Chief Information Officer, Value Partners Investments

The Sherpa team has spent evenings, weekends, and even all-hands on deck pulling together whatever we've thrown at them. And, with no complaint. The team at Sherpa has the ability to execute on time, with agility, and in a very professional manner. They are on board and help us take things to the next level in the areas where they are marketing experts. The Sherpa team thinks proactively about what we have missed and pushes for what would be an optimal customer experience. We're grateful for their team, knowledge, and experience - to have them invested in our outcomes like a member of the DEKALB team is invaluable.

- Bret Collett Past Employee of Monsanto

It can be hard to take an idea and design it to create impactful and meaningful conversations with clients. Marty and his team were able to do exactly that in a brilliant and efficient way.

- Jamie Townsend Lawton Partners

Having worked with a number of website developing companies over the years, working with the team at Sherpa was a breath of fresh air!  They were very organized, followed through with delivery items through the entire project and contributed with some creative and constructive ideas.  Sherpa provided all the necessary support and resources to help make the transition to the new platform a painless experience. They are clearly a motivated and dedicated team, whose service we’d be pleased to recommend.

- Deanna Skinner Maritime Travel

The Sherpa team have been instrumental in supporting the development of the NexusBioAg’s (formerly Monsanto BioAg/Acceleron BioAg ) marketing strategy and subsequently the execution of all the supporting marketing tactics for the last 3.5 years. Sherpa successfully positioned our brand as the market leading, premium solution for broad acre biologicals. Through their tenure as our Agency of Record, Sherpa has helped guide us to be the market share leader in our category. Sherpa has a team with a deep bench of very talented designers, content creators, programmers, account managers and an in-house multi-media team. Their ability to maintain agility and speed is second to none, and I would recommend to anyone that they consider Sherpa Marketing for a digital strategy that works.

- Daniel Samphir Marketing Director | Univar Solutions

I’ve been working with Marty as a mentee for the last year and a half. In that time, he has helped guide me through the complicated web of constructing a premium brand, securing external investors and now, building my production facility. He always answers my calls, texts and emails quickly and has an amazing “can-do” attitude that has helped me through the highs and lows of getting my business up and running. I know I can count on Marty and his team at Sherpa for the right advice.

- Jesse Denton CEO | Founder | Kief Cannabis

I have been working with Sherpa Marketing for 10 years. One of the main reasons for the long tenure with Sherpa is that the team at Sherpa invests themselves in your business, which means that they are a partner and not simply a vendor. This relationship style means that problems or issues are better predicted and therefore addressed before they become a challenge and it allows Sherpa to better service the needs of our business efficiently. Sherpa has consistently met deadlines that were targeted; and because of the partner relationship, this allows for quick responses when short notice items arise and need to be addressed—although we do not like to operate that way. Budgets were always discussed and reviewed in advance of agreeing to work and if scope or details changed along the way, Sherpa would inform us of any cost implications as a result. Sherpa understands the agricultural landscape in Canada including many ag sectors more intimately. What I have always appreciated is the Sherpa team’s willingness to learn about an area they are less familiar with so they can better service their clients. I am happy to further discuss my experience with Sherpa if you have any specific questions you would like answered.

- Denise Hockaday Climate Business Lead - Canada

I chose Marty and the Sherpa team to help build the brand for my new consulting company. It’s a major investment to build a brand - and when you are emotionally connected to that brand, you need a partner who believes in it as much as you do. I chose Marty and the Sherpa team for my personal work after partnering with Sherpa for many years as the National Director of Marketing for DEKALB Canada – a brand that reaches farmers across Canada. Building a customer centric campaign to appeal to farmers in remote regions with specialized, targeted messages instilled pride and increased market share in those communities. The Sherpa team became an extension of my team generating a positive culture of success – another one of the reasons I’ve chosen to work with Marty and the Sherpa team in my new business
