Elite Digital was named one of Great Place to Work Canada’s 2026 Best Workplaces in Advertising & Marketing, one of just 20 companies in the country to make the list. The Toronto agency says the recognition reflects a culture where every employee said Elite Digital is a great place to work.

Why it matters: - The ranking signals Elite Digital’s workplace culture is a business advantage, not just an internal perk. - Great Place to Work lists can influence talent attraction in a competitive marketing labor market. - Elite Digital’s perfect employee score strengthens its credibility with current staff and prospective hires.

The details: - Great Place to Work rankings are based on direct, confidential employee feedback. - The Trust Index™ survey measures trust, pride, credibility, respect, fairness and camaraderie. - Organizations must first earn Great Place to Work Certification™ and post exceptionally high employee scores to qualify. - The ranking does not use an application essay or a judging panel. - Robert Burko, CEO of Elite Digital, said the award mattered because the company could not buy or campaign for the recognition. - Burko said the ranking reflects the people who work at Elite Digital and the quality of the campaigns they build. - Elite Digital earned Great Place to Work Certification™ for 2026-2027 in February 2026. - The company says its culture includes traditions such as the annual House Cup team competition, regular in-office event days and team celebrations. - Tara Katsavos, HR Director at Elite Digital, said the company invests in rituals that help teams feel connected. - Katsavos said that investment is designed to help teams do braver, better work.

Between the lines: - The award adds outside validation to a culture Elite Digital says it has deliberately built over time. - The combination of certification and a perfect employee score suggests the agency’s culture is broad-based rather than limited to a small group of supporters. - Burko’s comments frame culture as a direct driver of client work, not just employee satisfaction. - Elite Digital’s participation in Great Place to Work events also positions the agency as an active voice in workplace culture discussions. - In May 2026, Burko joined a Great Place to Work Canada panel on how purpose-driven workplaces attract talent.
