This company started with a simple idea. Fed up with how advertisements spoke to us like fools, I saw an opportunity to do things differently…

My first client was a small business in Ottawa’s Byward Market called teastore. I loved the concept, layout and staff.

Exterior view of The teastore in Ottawa, Ontario captured for tourism and commercial photography.

The pitch was $200/month for photography plus $50 for ads. I told the owner I’d focus on engaging authentically with locals on Facebook & Instagram, while combining that with paid advertisements.

The owner saw potential and gave it a shot.

Every 30-days he’d get 1 commercial photoshoot, 8 posts and social media campaign ad management.

We photographed some products, and advertised it to the locals in Ottawa.

I sat in the tea shop nervously awaiting results and was amazed with what happened. Moments after launching the ad, a lady walked in with her phone in hand, pointing to the ad she saw. They never heard of teastore and wanted to try the blueberry tea…

I was stoked. The owner got a new customer after the first $1.70 in ad spend. It was the spark that ignited this journey.

This client is still a great business partner and friend. Here’s a recent banner photo I took for his new website:

I slowly scaled and focused on improving the quality of my content, both written and visual.

It didn’t take long to find my passion in commercial video production and adding that into the arsenal of services.

I’ve also surrounded myself with the best in their industries. People whom I look up to & learn from every day.

Fast forward to today – our team has done some insanely lucrative social media campaigns, magazine publications, plus worked with some of Canada’s biggest politicians & businesses doing commercial video production and photography.

The mission remains unchanged – to deliver exceptional results and drive massive profits.
