McCabe Promotional Advertising is one of Canada’s largest (and many say the country’s funnest) branded merchandise agencies. With offices in London and Ottawa, we source, design, and deliver merchandise ideas for some of the country’s coolest brands. We tailor solutions for people who work with us and help them drive awareness, engagement, and loyalty for their brands.
Founded in 1981, we’ve got the wisdom of a company with a rich history but a pulse on what’s fresh and exciting. We know what gets people talking, what earns a positive reaction, and what delivers real results. We proudly became officially B Corp Certified in 2019 and truly believe that little by little, we can create meaningful connections using branded merchandise. We are passionate about how to BE AWESOME and we want our people, our vendor partners, and our clients to feel that same passion.

We’d love to find someone with a bit of marketing experience under their belt, but what we really care about is your passion for making great things happen. This is your chance to get in on the ground floor of a growing team and shape your career with us.
