1960
Mad-Men Era
Mass market domination. The “Golden Age” of advertising. Mainly, two-player dominated industries. Easy- you create a product, find an emotional hook, blast it on TV, OOH, Print. Simple, effective, expensive. Only the biggest players could compete.

Quincy Samycia

Co-Founder & CEO of The Branded Agency

Entrepreneur. Brand Strategist. Growth Advisor. Speaker.


I help founders and leadership teams build brands that become competitive advantages. My work sits at the intersection of brand strategy, positioning, customer experience, digital transformation, and growth marketing, helping organizations align who they are with how they grow.

About Quincy

I never planned to start a branding agency.


I started as an entrepreneur.


In 2012, my wife and business partner, Meghan Conyers, and I co-founded Strongbody Apparel with a $5,000 credit card. What began as a small startup grew into a multi-million-dollar premium activewear brand carried in more than 200 retail locations internationally, including over 50 Equinox Fitness Clubs.


Along the way, we experienced nearly every stage of building a business, from product development and manufacturing to retail expansion, e-commerce, marketing, fundraising, and operations. Our journey led us to CBC's Dragons' Den, where we received three investment offers and accepted a deal with Joe Mimran, founder of Club Monaco and Joe Fresh.

After successfully exiting Strongbody in 2019, we founded The Branded Agency with a simple belief: great brands are built through strategy first, not marketing first.

My Role at 
The Branded Agency

As Co-Founder and CEO, I lead the strategic direction of the agency and work directly with founders, executive teams, and marketing leaders to solve complex growth challenges.


My responsibilities include:

Brand Strategy
Brand Positioning
Executive Workshops
Growth Strategy
Customer Experience Strategy
Executive Advisory
Digital Transformation
AI Marketing Strategy
Website Strategy & UX
Go-to-Market Strategy
Business Consulting
Mergers & Brand Integration

While our team of designers, strategists, developers, marketers, and specialists execute the work, my role is to ensure every engagement begins with the right strategic foundation.

Industries I've Worked With

Over the past decade, I've advised organizations ranging from early-stage startups to enterprise businesses across industries including:

Healthcare
Artificial Intelligence
SaaS
Technology
Consumer Products
Retail
E-commerce
Hospitality
Construction
Professional Services
Manufacturing
Wellness
Financial Services

Every industry is different, but the underlying principles of trust, positioning, customer psychology, and growth remain remarkably consistent.

What I Believe

The philosophy behind every engagement at The Branded Agency is built on a few core beliefs.

Brand is a business strategy.


A brand isn't your logo. It's the reason customers choose you over every alternative.

Marketing cannot 
fix poor positioning.

The best marketing amplifies a clear strategy. It cannot create one.

Clarity creates growth.


When leadership teams have alignment around who they are, who they serve, and why they matter, every business decision becomes easier.

AI changes execution, not strategy.

Artificial intelligence is transforming how businesses operate, but it doesn't replace strategic thinking, creativity, or human insight.

Outside the Office

When I'm not working with clients, I'm usually spending time with my wife Meghan and our daughter, exploring British Columbia, reading about business and psychology, or experimenting with the latest AI tools and technologies.

I'm an active member of Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) and enjoy connecting with other founders who are building ambitious companies.
