Montreal, May 7, 2025

LG2 was recognized for its industry-leading performance, its global business practices, and its sustained growth by receiving the prestigious 2025 Canada’s Best Managed Companies award. The Canadian independent agency makes the list for the fifth year in a row and maintains its status as a Gold Standard winner for a second year. Celebrating over 30 years, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program awards excellence in private Canadian-owned companies with revenues of $50 million or greater. To attain the designation, companies are evaluated on their leadership in the areas of strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities, and innovation, governance and financial performance.

“We’re immensely proud to once again be recognized as a Gold Standard winner by Deloitte’s Best Managed Companies. The past year has been one of tremendous innovation for the LG2 Group as we’ve taken another step forward in our evolution from an independent agency to an entrepreneurial platform. I’m incredibly proud that our efforts so far have been recognized among the best in Canada, and we’ll use this as motivation to continue to tackle new business challenges and have a positive impact on all our communities.”

Canada’s Best Managed Companies is one of the country’s leading business awards programs recognizing innovative and world‐class businesses. Every year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation in a rigorous and independent evaluation process. Applicants are evaluated by an independent panel of judges with representation from program sponsors and special guests.

LG2 in particular was recognized for its ambitious approach to business innovation and ESG factors. The diversification of LG2’s offering is a major competitive advantage, but it also generates significant operational complexity. Making continuous strides to improve synergies between its various business units, the agency has successfully implemented multiple programs to grow its offering for clients, including the recent acquisition of Dialekta and Varibase.  

The 2025 cohort of Best Managed Companies shares common themes, including fostering a people-centric culture, implementing a strategic company framework, investing in innovation and technological advancement, and maintaining financial resilience and strong corporate governance. Together, these practices strengthen the Canadian economy by promoting sustainable growth, enhancing competitiveness, and cultivating a thriving business ecosystem.

“For over 30 years, the Best Managed program recognizes companies who see challenges as checkpointsand obstacles as opportunities. This year’s winners, including LG2, have combined strategic expertise and a culture of innovation to not only drive impactful business outcomes, but serve their communities as well.They should be extremely proud of this designation and use it as a catalyst to continue the work they do every day.”
