    It follows the success of a partnership with the Ireland Canada Chamber of Commerce Toronto on the development and migration of their new website.

    Based in Banbridge, this expansion is part of RANE's strategic growth plan. Leveraging the positive reception to recent work and the strong Irish diaspora in Canada, RANE, which also has offices in Belfast, Dublin and London, has also identified Canada as a growing market for its services.

    According to recent data, digital advertising spending in Canada will amount to an estimated 16.19 billion Canadian dollars, up from 14.72 billion dollars a year earlier.

    The figure is forecast to continue to expand, exceeding 21.5 billion dollars by 2028.

    RANE, known for delivering high-quality services, is poised to offer Canadian businesses top-tier digital marketing solutions, including SEO, website design, content creation, and more with the added advantage of their UK/Ireland location, access to market leading talent and competitive rates.

    Sarah Murphy, executive director of Ireland Canada Chamber of Commerce Toronto (ICCCTO), praised RANE's contributions, stating: “I extend a heartfelt thanks to Neil and Robbie from RANE for their exceptional support during the migration of our new website (www.icccto.com).
