Mary Demers
Master of All Things Digital
Say hello to Mary Demers, a veritable Swiss Army knife in the world of marketing. With a career that’s seen her donning the caps of Chief Operations Officer, Marketing Director, and Event Manager, she’s not just walking the marketing walk—she’s practically sprinting it. Her passion? Helping businesses reach their zenith while making efficiency seem like the new normal.
Imagine a day in Mary’s shoes: her schedule is a meticulously organized masterpiece, so packed it could give a Wall Street executive a run for their money. And when plans go awry? She’s already two steps ahead with alternatives B through Z, because who says you have to stop at A? For Mary, life’s curveballs are just an opportunity to whip up a batch of problem-solving lemonade—with a tech-savvy twist.
When the marketing wizardry and efficiency spells are put to rest, Mary swaps her digital cape for the great outdoors. She’s most at home when surrounded by her greatest loves: her three daughters, husband, and German Shepard. Together, they spend time outdoors, disconnecting from the world and finding the perfect work-life balance.
Rob Sylvester
Master of All Things SEO
Born in the Washington DC area, globe-trotter Rob found his heart tethered to the stunning vistas of Squamish after stints in Seattle and LA. His career, as eclectic as his residences, journeyed through the hotel industry, professional hockey, a few tech start-ups, and even breweries.
Each venture presented unique challenges, shaping Rob into a versatile professional. With a resort and recreation management degree, he began in sales and marketing, eventually discovering his passion for digital marketing at L8P Digital Marketing, where he juggles data like a circus performer.
Off-duty, Rob morphs into a sports statistician for his fantasy leagues, cheering “Go Sports!” with unmatched enthusiasm. As winter descends, he trades his data-crunching for downhill skiing. If not on the slopes or with his pup, he’s in a cozy pub, savouring a local brew.

Selim Koksal
Master of All Things WEB
Once a humble digital marketing maverick, Selim kicked off his career at an agency that provides consultancy in SEO, Google Ads, Social Ads, and Data Analytics! He was already a UI-UX wizard – making websites so user-friendly even aliens could navigate them. He then took a detour into the realms of web design, front-end development, and WordPress development and even unleashed his inner Picasso for graphic design.
After a brief freelancing stint (where he learned that PJs are totally acceptable work attire), he found his true calling as a Full Stack Web Developer. He’s now working with the L8P Digital Marketing team on building websites and making them better for search engines. His secret mission? To be a superman of Full-Stack Dev, armed with code and a cape (well, metaphorical one).
Selim is a challenge enthusiast, whether it involves conquering waves on the ocean or taming the wild jungles of the internet. When he’s not crafting digital wonders, you’ll find him riding the waves or surfing the web – because who says you can’t love both oceans?
Madot Bekele
Master of All Things Advertising
Based in the vibrant heart of Canada’s capital, Ottawa, Ontario, Madot’s professional journey has been diverse and enriching.
With a solid foundation in mathematics, she ventured into the dynamic world of marketing, dedicating five years to mastering various platforms across multiple marketing firms. This experience paved the way for a challenging yet rewarding stint in the insurance sector, where she earned my LLQP license.
However, a transformative month-long trip to British Columbia reshaped her career trajectory. Immersed in BC’s captivating vibe, she rediscovered my passion for marketing—a field where she’s since thrived, waking up each day with renewed enthusiasm and a commitment to excellence.
Igor Vasylets
Master of All Things SEO
Born and raised in Ukraine, with a marketing degree in hand, my journey began in the logistics industry, managing a bustling terminal for a decade. The foundation for becoming an SEO specialist was laid during studies in Moscow, where new marketing skills like SEO and basic coding were acquired.
In 2022, a new chapter unfolded with a move to Canada, continuing to thrive in the marketing sphere. Now, as a member of the L8P Digital Marketing team, the focus is on elevating local Canadian small businesses and promoting their products worldwide through expert SEO practices.
A true coffee aficionado and sunset admirer, evenings often include DJing for fun. Every sunny day in Vancouver is an opportunity for hiking, while a consistent gym routine keeps things balanced.
