Lila Galipeau: Keynote Speaker, Podcast Guest & Marketing Thought Leader
Amplifying authentic voices. Challenging the status quo. Leading with impact.
Lila Galipeau is a sought-after keynote speaker, podcast guest, and founder of Partnr Media — a Canadian marketing agency and social enterprise tackling youth unemployment while helping brands scale online. Known for her electric energy, clear communication style, and passion for human-first marketing, Lila delivers bold insights that leave audiences inspired and equipped to act.
Raised in an off-grid home in rural Quebec, she started her first business (a lemonade stand 🍋) at just 4 years old. Growing up, she helped her mom with small business ventures and always gravitated toward the marketing tasks. At 15, she began working for a Canadian social media marketing agency and fell in love with marketing.
Lila went on to earn a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing from the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa, where she honed her strategic thinking and developed a deep understanding of business-building in the digital era through both classroom and extracurricular participation, receiving awards in multiple business and marketing competitions throughout her degree.
In 2021, she founded Partnr Media with a simple mission: to build a marketing agency rooted in integrity, connection, and results. Over time, the agency grew into a trusted partner for Canadian e-commerce brands across industries. By 2024, Lila spearheaded a strategic pivot to focus on e-commerce growth systems — from content engines to retention strategies — while embedding a unique social impact model. Through Partnr Media’s “Impact Engagements”, the agency gives Canadian post-secondary students real-world client experience to help close the growing gap between university studies and employment opportunities.
Today, Partnr Media partners with founders, thought leaders, and purpose-driven e-commerce brands to scale their marketing through smart systems, data-driven strategies, and authentic storytelling. Lila leads with a future-focused mindset, bridging creativity and technology to help clients increase visibility, sales, and customer loyalty — all while empowering the next generation of marketers.
Whether she’s speaking to emerging entrepreneurs, joining a podcast, or leading a marketing panel, Lila shares actionable ideas on branding, content, e-commerce growth, AI, and building meaningful careers in a rapidly changing digital economy.
