Behind every great artist and unforgettable concert is a network of partners working quietly and powerfully in the background. In Canada, some of the country’s most influential brands are doing more than supporting the music industry. From funding artist development and music education programs to backing major award shows and festivals, these brands have become essential players in pushing the culture forward.

Their involvement goes far beyond traditional sponsorship. Whether it’s building platforms for emerging talent, producing exclusive fan experiences, or investing in live music infrastructure, each brand on this list has contributed to elevating Canadian music at every level.

This year’s Brand Power List recognizes those companies that aren’t just aligned with music but are actively moving it. They understand that music is more than entertainment – it’s identity, community, and storytelling. And by showing up in meaningful ways, these partners are not only strengthening the industry’s ecosystem but also helping to define what the future of Canadian music can look like.
