A bit about me

After graduating from the Sobey School of Business at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, I set out to help small businesses grow—without all the usual chaos. Over the years, I’ve worked with organizations of all sizes, helping them get clear on their goals and build practical strategies to reach them. Along the way, I co-founded Nanuk VR Technologies, earned a few industry certifications, and was named one of Atlantic Business Magazine’s Top 30 Under 30 in 2020. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me sailing—my favourite way to unplug and reset.

“I can't think of many people I would recommend more highly than Mike Cyr. Our company uses Mike for a range of tasks: digital marketing, event-planning, operations, web-design and providing advice on providing digital content. Mike always responds quickly and gets jobs done on time and on price. He's patient with my own limitations in the digital world and is an absolute joy to work with. Five-star ratings all round.”
