Is this you?
Join our team!
We are a family-minded collective of Saskatoon-based communications professionals who want to grow our community. Our positions are contract roles, allowing maximum flexibility for you to pick up as many or as few jobs as you want. We are looking to partner with creative, business-minded professionals who uphold our philosophy.
Collaborators
Our team is made up of a suite of talented collaborators who specialize in agriculture-based marketing services that includes graphic design, photography, videography, social media management, website content and design, writing and editing and more!
We get asked a lot: Why Magpie?
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Magpies are memorable. They’re beautiful, intelligent and persistent. And while we will admit they’re a tad annoying, they’re also exceptional communicators.
Communication is the key to success in every area of business. Period.
That's why our mission is to advance the Canadian agriculture industry by supporting businesses and non-profits with powerful communication and marketing solutions. And our vision? It’s bold. We want to change the way the agriculture industry communicates.
Our journey began in 2017 when Kim and Jean bridged their storytelling ability and scientific passion during a collaborative venture with Agriculture in the Classroom's snapAG project. Our previous experience found that AG businesses didn't have enough access to communications and marketing support that truly understood the industry. We decided to use our skills and partnership to fill that void.
Today, our small but mighty team is deeply passionate about helping clients succeed through better communications and marketing.
