Featuring the Best in Career Advice, Digital Marketing and Franchising

WSI digital marketing franchisee, Taylor Russell, was recently interviewed for the Canadian Franchise Association's podcast show, Franchise Canada Chats. In the episode, Taylor sat down with guest host Angela Coté (CFE), the CEO and "Boss Lady" of Angela Coté Inc. to discuss how franchisees can search for franchise opportunities that offer them the flexibility to create a healthy work-life balance as a business.

WSI was recently recognized by The Franchise Universe as a winning franchise in the digital marketing industry. This is, in part, thanks to our advocacy of constant reinvention and digital remodelling in an ever-changing landscape of business, institutions, and society. At WSI, we get excited about the very advancements and innovations that many marketers and business owners dread. WSI has spent over 25 years accumulating key expertise and experience in both the digital marketing industry and franchising.

What is a business plan? For people who are just starting out and forming their own company, whether it's a small freelance business at home or a new venture with an office and a starting pool of employees, there's a lot of importance to a business plan. It is a road map, an outline, a document that explains what your business is, what the goals of the enterprise are, and how exactly it will set about achieving those goals. So beyond being a document that identifies your business, what else does such a plan do for you?

As the President of WSI and having joined the company 22 years ago, Valerie Brown-Dufour knows a thing or two about digital marketing franchising, and she has seen how the demand for digital solutions has skyrocketed in recent years. And it's thanks to that expertise that Franchise Journal featured her on their latest issue, where she talks about the relevance of the WSI business model during COVID lockdowns and how continuous knowledge sharing among franchisees strengthens the WSI Network.

WSI is proud of Bob Rogers – one of our digital marketing franchisees who was featured in Franchise Journal’s November Veterans issue.

One of the things that most businesses will agree is important but incredibly difficult to maintain is good marketing. Marketing is an art and a craft all unto itself, and with successful marketing, a quality product or service can enjoy considerable gains in business and popularity.
