American Companies
Press Monitor empowers American companies to thrive in Canada’s bilingual, highly decentralised media landscape. With real-time intelligence across English and French sources, we help U.S. firms safeguard reputation, manage risk, and seize new opportunities across Canada’s provinces and industries.
Why Canada Matters to American Businesses
Canada is the largest export market for the United States , purchasing more American goods and services than any other country. With over $850 billion in bilateral trade , thousands of U.S. companies maintain operations, partnerships, or supply chains in Canada.
But while Canada is friendly and familiar, its media and policy landscape can be fragmented:
, each with its own regulations, local discourse, and media channels
Press Monitor bridges this complexity with unified, bilingual media intelligence—tailored to the needs of American firms doing business in Canada.
