At the age of 23, Scott Breard, a natural-born entrepreneur, founded his first business – a trademarked t-shirt that garnered nationwide attention and made front-page headlines. He continued his entrepreneurial journey by launching Hot Shots Games, one of Canada’s top game room stores, immediately after completing his university education in 1999. Under his and his wife Kelly’s leadership, Hot Shots Games became the country’s second-largest dealer of Olhausen Pool Tables with the industry’s biggest e-commerce website.

Scott’s success in business led to consulting opportunities, including a five-year stint as Director of Marketing for Olhausen Billiards, two years as Vice President of Marketing for Jack Nathan Health, and President of Raven Financial Services, where he rebuilt and rebranded the mortgage administration company.

Together with Jim Walker and renowned Canadian Restaurateur John Arena, Scott founded John Arena Imports, which became Ontario’s exclusive distributor of many products, including soccer and automobile brand licensed wines from Italy. 

In 2016, Scott and Kelly acquired the prestigious DiRoNA organization, which had been awarding the sought-after DiRoNA Award of Excellence to the finest dining establishments across North America for over 30 years. Scott also served as a Director of Giyani Metals (TSX.V:EMM) from 2016 to 2018.

In April of 2019, Scott and Kelly founded Stock Marketing Inc., a Bay Street agency that provides web design, social media, and executive branding services for public companies listed on the TSX, TSXV, CSE, and OTC. In 2021, Stock Marketing Inc. launched TodaysStocks.com, which features CEO interviews hosted by Pat Bolland.

“I have been working closely with Scott on two important companies. I feel his comments are always straight, honest and logical when asked for advice which is rare these days. His work ethic is solid with prompt responses to tasks like websites. As well his judgment is refreshing!”

“Meeting with Scott helped me get clarity on my social media strategy for my new business. In an industry that is super competitive, I knew it was important to find my voice on social media and know how to execute my social media strategy successfully. Scott helped me focus on what goals I wanted to achieve and who my target audience would be. Learning the ins, outs, and best practices for engaging with potential customers through Facebook was an incredibly valuable tool I gained from Scott. Thanks to Scott’s guidance, I have been able to grow my social media presence organically and engage my audience in a way that makes them want to see what I post instead of scrolling right past it. Thanks Scott!”

It can be completely overwhelming, thankfully there are people out there like Scott Breard. His knowledge really helped us understand and get our social media presence started. We now realize how important what he does is and how it connects us to our customers.”

Scott stays one step ahead of the technological curve and that has benefitted and educated me. I cant recommend Scott enough both on a personal and business level.”

“The saying “you don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great” brings me back to some of my first conversations I had with Scott when I was trying to figure out exactly what I wanted from online marketing. His positivity and knowledge really made me feel confident that I could have an online presence!

I am forever grateful I had the opportunity to work with such an expert in online marketing and grow my business!”
