And exceptional marketers

It’s how we’ve scaled two of our companies to the Profit 500 list and been named one of the fastest-growing software companies in Canada.

Unprecedented growth since 2020

In 2020, Leadpages’ owners wanted to exit and focus on other projects. We saw an opportunity to revitalize an outstanding product and team.

Since then, we’ve rolled out new technology, tapped into a bigger customer base, and mapped out a hyper-profitable strategic direction.

Leveraging the power of marketing

Delivra had invaluable industry knowledge and a loyal user base, but needed more resources to create a stable marketing program and capture more customers.

Working closely with Delivra since 2022, we’ve established an internal marketing team, launched a full branding redesign, and revitalized product development.

Our most recent acquisition

After 16 years as an independent company, Animoto wanted more support to dive deeper into generative AI.

Animoto is still new to the Redbrick portfolio, but we’re already focused on developing a roadmap for product innovation and how, together, we can help more entrepreneurs tap into the power of video marketing.
