History

In 1999, entrepreneur Shoaib Khan founded Clearoute Inc. In the company’s early days, it was a one-man operation, with Khan working hard to establish Clearoute in the highly competitive Canadian marketing and tech sphere, all the while holding down a series of separate full-time jobs. Between the years 2000 and 2011, as he guided Clearoute out of its infancy and into a prosperous operation, Shoaib Khan took managerial and consulting positions with Staples, Dell Technologies, Toronto Dominion Bank, and finally, Aimia Inc. During this time, Shoaib Khan’s employment status and busy schedule likely lengthened the amount of time it took Clearoute to grow, as he had to relegate the development of his young company to evenings and weekends, though he does credit these roles with helping him hone his business acumen.

In 2011, Shoaib Khan had developed and consolidated Clearoute to such a point that he felt comfortable leaving his position with Aimia Inc. and concentrating his efforts on his own company full-time. Soon thereafter, he began to hire in-house staff, all the while landing larger and more prestigious accounts. In the years to come, Clearoute’s client roster would include such corporate giants as General Motors, Audi, Nestle, Shoppers Drug Mart, Warner Brothers, Walmart, Sprint, Gilead, Abbott, AstraZeneca, W Hotels, Sony, and Johnson & Johnson, among many others.

In a February 2024 interview, Shoaib Khan describes how his leadership style evolved during this critical time period, citing Steve Jobs, the seminal founder of Apple Corp. as an inspirational model. “We all know what a magnificent ideas person he was—he’s practically the textbook definition of out-of-the-box thinking. But he was also deeply involved at every stage of Apple’s success. He took his great ideas from his garage to the world stage, and he fundamentally changed our civilization.” Similarly, as Khan took his own ideas out of the basement and into the boardroom, he made sure to remain intimately involved with all facets of Clearoute’s operations.

In recent years, Clearoute Inc. has rolled out highly refined versions of what have come to be known as their signature services. Chief among these are strategic consulting in brand development, performance marketing, technological innovation, and financial planning. But the company also excels in other areas, such as sales strategy and optimization, in-depth market analysis, sales process refinement, customer relationship management, and team training. Their digital marketing and e-commerce services feature targeted advertising, conversion rate optimization, and comprehensive market research. Clearoute also provides content marketing and search engine optimization to boost clients’ visibility, making them easily discoverable by their target audience, as well as offering elite social media management services to build robust client communities. Finally, Clearoute supports businesses with fundraising and capital campaigns, ensuring they secure the financial resources needed for success and growth.
