In 2020, Viral Nation was voted the 4th fastest growing company in Canada. At Viral Nation, we embed brands in culture.  

Our mission is to close the distance between brands and consumers by creating tighter bonds. We help brands find smarter ways in and deliver better value to their communities by collaborating with the people who know them intimately, understand what they want, and can create content that speaks directly to them.
