Montreal is a great city. There was a bunch of work there in the nineties but then the bubble burst, so I don't know what scale the operation of the above agencies is anymore. Probably a lot of arts- and cultural-sector work still. The arts and music scene there is very vibrant.
You can get by without French, especially if you're at an american / international agency but you'll be limiting your experience and your potential to move to other places of work. Montrealers are a bit snotty about their French; if you don't don't speak montrealais then they'll assume you're an anglophone, which they're not so hot about, always.
