The People. The Stories. The Culture. 👌

Our team at Wader Likes Media had an absolute blast working on this video project for our friends at Canadian Tire Corporation.

CT’s exceptional workplace culture was evident in every interaction, and the stories and the people made it SUCH a fun journey for our team. From initially hearing the concept all the way to emailing the final video iteration.

We love our job. 🎥🙌

Does your brand have a captivating story to tell? We're here to bring it to life! Send us a DM, and let's create something extraordinary together!

Cool fact: We came up with their employer brand tag line “There’s a place for you here”.

“Dreams are something you have to believe in”⁣
- Ke Huy Quan⁣
⁣
And for me, that couldn't be more true. I'm Wade, the founder of Wader Likes Media, and running my own ad agency and creating visually stunning content to showcase the place I love and call home, Chatham-Kent is truly living out my dream.⁣
⁣
It wasn't easy getting to where I am today. Pursuing your passion and turning it into a successful business takes a lot of courage and determination. There were a LOT and I mean a LOT of doubters. But I had a vision to work with the exceptional entrepreneurs in the area and shine a light on their great businesses with video and photo! With hard work, dedication and some faith from local business owners, I was able to make it a reality.⁣
⁣
Through our work at Wader Likes Media, my team and I pride ourselves on being able to capture the essence of Chatham-Kent and share it with the world. We’re able to tell visual stories and bring out the unique character of each location, business and person that we interact with. People always talk about passion projects, but I get to live my passion work everyday - highlighting and benefitting the local businesses and organizations in my area and inspiring those from out of town to appreciate and explore the beauty that is Chatham-Kent.⁣
⁣
If you have a dream, no matter the size, I hope this serves as a reminder to you and others that if you believe in yourself and your dreams, you can make them a reality. ⁣
⁣
Thanks for attending my TED talk. Goonies never say die! 🏴‍☠️ ⁣

As creative brand storytellers, we’ve had the pleasure of working with many local companies and EVERY SINGLE TIME it’s such an exciting experience.

From the first meeting to the final video or campaign, we get to be a part of a company’s journey and help craft their story as it comes to life.

It's amazing to see the passion and hard work that goes into these businesses, and we truly love being able to help them showcase their unique brand by way of creative storytelling through videography, photography and social media management.

Working with such incredible local companies and business leaders has allowed our team to learn more about our community and connect with other driven entrepreneurs, which has been nothing short of incredibly rewarding. Needless to say, we love our job… and we love !

So, Wade owns and operates the business that is “Wader Likes Media,” but when asked what he does, he typically says he’s a “brand storyteller.”

This usually elicits questioning responses or confused faces, at the very least. Because brand storytelling…. what’s that all about, right?

Well… we all know people have a desire to connect with others through stories. And that includes brand stories! So that’s what we do. Connect the stories we create for the brands that we represent with their intended audience.

Your brand is what sets you apart from your competitors, and it's what makes people loyal to your business. We love to work with our clients on finding a voice, a personality, a memorable identity that allows them to connect with their audience and establish a relationship that converts into positive results.

Telling the stories of amazing local brands in a consistent and authentic way is what we love to do. If you are looking to level up your brand, reach out to chat!

At Wader Likes Media, we do our best to be involved in and support the community where we live and work, whenever possible.

However, this donation to the Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation is a special one.

Our Managing Director, Jenna Haskell, recently experienced the wonderful, compassionate end-of-life care provided to patients and their families during her grandmother’s final days there.

So, in memory of Gwen Beardsall, Jenna’s much-loved Granny, we wanted to give back to the truly amazing organization that provided phenomenal care, comfort and support during her stay there.

The Chatham-Kent Hospice relies on donations to cover over 62% of its operating budget, so we wanted to help in a small way by sharing the incredible experience Jenna’s family had there. Our goal is to help spread the message of the many benefits of residential hospice care in our community, and let those who already donate know how impactful their generosity is.

When Wader Likes Media got started, the primary goal was to create fun and effective content to highlight our local community and the great people who live and work in it.

Well, the company has grown and the vision has definitely expanded, but we haven’t forgotten our initial goal.

Now we have the opportunity work with some amazing national brands, AND the ability to tie in the Chatham-Kent community to help tell these brand stories.

BIG thank you to this stellar CK family for helping out with today’s Canadian Tire shoot.

We love what we do!

20/08/2022

As brand storytellers, we get the opportunity to meet and work with so many different people, and these interactions are, hands down, our favourite part of this job.

For example, working with this crew from Mark's was an absolute blast!

We got to sit down and listen to some great stories from the people who represent the Mark’s brand, how they got there, and why they love what they do.

It was truly a pleasure to collaborate with this iconic Canadian brand. Stay tuned to see what we created!

🎥🙌 We did something REALLY cool!

Working with Canadian Tire Corp. this past week to help capture and tell some of their employee’s incredible stories was an absolutely wonderful experience. The workplace culture they have created was phenomenal and truly awesome to witness. Many companies speak of diversity in their workplace, but we were able to experience first-hand at the Canadian Tire Distribution Centres, the wide-ranging and diverse stories and backgrounds of their employees. And we are SO excited to help highlight the different paths that led them to careers at Canadian Tire.

For 100 years, Canadian Tire has provided Canadians with diverse job experiences and joys of life in Canada. It is so cool to be able to help tell the stories of the people who make it all possible.

We look forward to furthering our relationship and continuing to capture these amazing Canadian Tire employee stories.

When work things are also your favourite things. 👌

POV: Wade’s face when he is out and about capturing content. Seriously…this is actually what it’s like the entire time 😂

We are so lucky to work with some of the best brands in CK and beyond, and it is clearly a labour of love for Wader!

If this level of engagement is what your brand is looking for, reach out!

We had to pry Wader’s hands from the gimbal after this whirlwind Christmas content season!

Merry Christmas to our amazing clients, friends and family from the team ! 🎄 🎅🏻

We’re so looking forward to creating more content and levelling up local brands in CK come 2022. 🥂

21/12/2021

It really IS the most wonderful time of the year!

Getting the chance to capture so much fun and festive seasonal content for our amazing clients has been an absolute blast. We say it often (like…a lot!) but we REALLY love what we do!

Keep an eye out for more content full of Christmas cheer to come!

15/12/2021

Another great day out and about capturing our clients and their holiday spirit!

Busy days mean we call in the reinforcements! In this case, the wonderfully talented photographer Haley Thuss graced us with her super fun presence and killer skill set.

Always fun to collab with other creators, and we can’t wait to have Haley back soon!

Sons Of Kent Market

Put your hand up if you went to the Sons of Kent Brewing Co market on July 9th. 🙋‍♂️ It was an awesome time, and so well run. Shout out to Emma Butler of J&E meats and the crew at Sons for pulling it all together. 3 takeaways: 1. Seeing peoples smiling faces is the best. 2. We’ve missed this sense of community, you know - the one that makes CK so great to live in. This event accomplished that and we felt the joy walking around (even with a gimbal in hand). 3. There are so many awesome entrepreneurs in CK, big shout out to every vendor for doing what they love. 4. I know we said 3 takeaways… but Zephyr is awesome and we just wanted to remind everyone. You’re welcome! 🍻 Now, we took some artistic license and thought we’d throw it back to those simple early 90’s vhs cam vibes! Enjoy and be sure to hit up the next event at SOK! The next Market is being held Friday, August 13th. Mark it on your calendar! 🗓 #LivingCK #SOKMarket #SummerEventSeries #CKOnt #Community #WeLoveOurJob #WaderLikesMedia
