Nicolas Villeneuve becomes Partner at Adviso
After more than fifteen years shaping Adviso’s media practice, Nicolas Villeneuve, Media Director, officially joins the firm’s group of partners.
Joining as an intern in 2009, Nicolas quickly established himself as one of Quebec’s leading figures in digital media. From campaign analysis to strategic leadership, he has helped transform Adviso’s approach by connecting performance, technology, and a deep understanding of business challenges. His leadership stands out as much for the depth of his expertise as for his ability to help others grow. He structured the media department, trained dozens of specialists, and implemented practices that ensure a consistently high standard of execution.
His expertise in Search Engine Marketing is recognized well beyond Quebec. He has been a three-time finalist for Search Marketer of the Year at the Search Engine Land Awards, and under his direction, Adviso’s teams have earned several prestigious distinctions — including two wins at the 2024 Search Engine Land Awards, notably Best Use of Artificial Intelligence in Search Marketing, in collaboration with SAIL. Over the years, he has supported many major Quebec companies, including Simons and Hydro-Québec, in strengthening their digital leadership.
“Nicolas embodies the rigor and curiosity that inspire our entire organization. He has that rare ability to combine strategic vision with operational precision. His arrival among the partners is the natural next step in an exceptional career and a profound contribution to our collective growth.”

As Partner, Nicolas will continue to lead the media practice and operations while taking part in the firm’s strategic governance. He will use his expertise to advance a clear mission: intelligently integrating new technologies, including artificial intelligence, to enhance client performance and business value where it truly matters.
This appointment reflects Adviso’s vision: to grow its leaders from within, invest in local expertise, and build a strong, sustainable entrepreneurial succession.
Congratulations, Nicolas!
— The Adviso Team
