Montreal, June 16th, 2020 – After a rigorous selection process, Desjardins has chosen Glassroom and Dialekta to manage its national investment in search engine marketing (SEM). The two independent andfully Canada-owned agencies, which already manage media buying and strategy, will be working closely with the internal media team at Desjardins. Their collaboration with Desjardins’ media specialists will be based on a hybrid model of media management that will extend across all of Desjardins’digital channels(programming, social media advertising and SEM).
In Glassroom and Dialekta, Desjardins has found the ideal media combination to further its marketing transformation and reach its goals. The strategic expertise and keyword marketing technique these agencies offer will help Desjardins maximize its multichannel media strategy by integrating the SEM component within a global framework. The goal is to increase synergies and complementarity to create a direct and concrete impact on campaign results.
“Glassroom and Dialekta’s depth of expertise complements our media specialist team and maximizes our ability to reach our clients/members with the right message at the right time and to strengthen the performance of our initiatives. This synergy is in line with our #oneteam vision of collaboration, and provides us with a solid brand/agency partnership with exceptional skills.”

The #oneteam partnership is an opportunity for Desjardins, Glassroom and Dialekta to capitalize on a collaborative mechanism that has proven its effectiveness over the past year. To ensure cohesion and consistency throughout Desjardins’ media operations, #oneteam will employ a global method for collaboration, using sound processes and shared tools to manage campaigns while remaining focused on the key pillar: direct and transparent communication between Desjardins and the agency.
“We constantly work with advertiser teams as a single unit. This radical transparency is supported by the vision shared by Desjardins and Glassroom of how to move forward with complete control over its future in the media landscape, in terms of both data management and audiences.”
Charles Beaulieu, Partner and General Manager at Glassroom
“SEM plays a key role in a performance-driven global marketing strategy. We’re delighted that Desjardins has recognized our position as a leader in search marketing so that we can help them meet their ambitious objectives.”
