Tremain Media started as an educational film company, creating videos in the areas of literacy, numeracy, play-based learning, and educational theory. We sold 68,000 DVD’s; our products were in every public library in British Columbia as well as homes, schools and libraries across North America. That was when DVD’s were a thing. So what happened?
YouTube happened. And the educational media market changed forever.
We then began creating videos for other organizations and companies. That was fine, until the 2008 recession hit. Combined with YouTube’s disruptive influence, video was suddenly turned on it’s head - and it killed ALL of the video competitors in our home-base city of Campbell River. There were 7 video companies - then there was only us. Tremain Media got lean and we stayed alive by diversifying our media offerings.
Today, Tremain Media is a full service media and marketing company specializing in video, web, print, social media marketing, digital marketing and time-lapse services. Back in 2010 it was a big deal to us that our commercials aired on NBC-Universal, Versus and and NBC Sports. Now, writing this in 2018, it still feels good - but it’s no longer our main thing. Now we are proud to provide multi-faceted digital offerings that help our clients succeed.
We work strategically with each individual client to develop the right marketing plan for them. Some clients let us go deep and get to the roots of who they are through thorough market research. We can then create a marketing plan that drastically increases their customer reach. We build the assets (videos, a website, social media accounts) and put them together to create campaigns that bring results. Measurable, profitable results.
Market Research, Marketing Plans and the Multi-Faceted Campaign
Here’s an example of our diversified campaign development process. One of our clients has five locations, so we are unrolling each campaign one location at a time for maximum benefits. These campaigns include:
Facebook ads
Google Adwords
New custom-built website
Geo-fenced YouTube videos
Social Media management
Google and Facebook ads lead to a landing page on the new website, designed for easyuser experience and optimized for search-engine visibility. Location-specific YouTube videos attract potential clients by providing valuable information, inspiring trust and loyalty. Finally, a strong social media presence continues crucial relationship-building across diverse audiences.
All of these components work together seamlessly to attract, engage and retain customers. An integrated approach means that you can get more customers to take instant, consistent and profitable actions when interacting with your company online.
As each location rolls out their individual campaigns, Tremain Media collects an enormous amount of valuable data. This data is what helps to inform and improve on the campaign for the clients’ next location. It is incredibly satisfying to orchestrate a variety of digital assets across platforms to create success for a client in this way.
However, not all clients need deeply informed, multi-faceted campaigns. That’s why Tremain offers an array of more targeted services, curated specifically for your needs.
High-Level Videos
This service works very well for larger companies with in-house communications teams that we can work with. Some of the clients we have worked with include.
BC Hydro
Transport Canada
SNC Lavalin
Western Forest Products
Ministry of Education
Ministry of Forests
The City of Campbell River
The City of Nanaimo
The City of Courtenay
North Island College
Multiple BC school districts
Together with these organizations, Tremain Media has produced high-quality videos that enhance their existing marketing campaigns, launching them to the next level of customer engagement. We are continually on the cutting edge of video production; whether that means capturing incredible time-lapse footage or utilizing drone cameras for the perfect shot, the team at Tremain goes for bold, innovative video, every time.
Digital Marketing: Social Media Assets, Strategies and Ex*****on
In the digital marketing space, Tremain Media becomes an integrated extension of our clients’ voice. Companies seeking these services are usually mid-sized businesses with high revenues, and they know that their own working hours are better spent doing what they do best. These clients are often lawyers, dentists, chiropractors - organizations that rarely have a dedicated communications person.
By choosing Tremain Media as their social media and marketing managers, they are adopting the most cost effective route to growing their business. We work with them to develop a comprehensive strategy, and then we take care of the ex*****on. They can then dedicate their time towards other areas of their business, knowing that their online presence is being properly handled.
The One-Touch Job: Asset Development, Coaching and Communications Support
Some companies just need one thing. A busy landfill company that just needs a new, contemporary website. Or a fabric shop that only needs two hours of social media coaching to send them on their way. Or a new psychiatrist that needs an updated logo.
Tremain Media dedicates our full arsenal of professional resources to any and all clients we work with, no matter how big or small the job. Often, it is these smaller tasks that can lead to larger, more long-term projects. We love relationship building, and are happy to take it step by step.
Go Team!
So how do we accomplish all of this? With amazing people.
Tremain Media is a lot of things to a lot of clients, but it is our team that remains the core of who we are and what makes us great.
We are a human team working for a humane company.
Tremain is a distributed company. A company that allows us to work from where we want and where we love to live - many of us are on Vancouver Island because it is our idea of paradise. A company that allows us to live our life on our own terms. A company that knows life is short and we need to live and love and experience the world in the ways that we want. We are not beholden to a 9 to 5 work life. We are instead beholden to our clients and those relationships. We are free to take on the work that we like, with people we like, and live the experience via a modern, forward-thinking, company structure embraced and cultivated by Tremain Media.
This freedom, this energy, this ability to live our lives on our own terms is important because it comes through to our clients via the work that we do. Some of us are in love with complexity, data, the organization of it all - while others live in the realm of impassioned storytelling, visual expression and human relationships. Because of this diversity we excel for our clients. We work to our strengths, we understand freedom and quality of life and we bring this attitude to our work, thus developing superior products for our clients. Our configuration of team members - all of us working together - allow us to collectively and continually exceed client expectations. The combination of skills in the hands of deeply rooted individuals shows through in so much of our work.
A large part of Tremain Media's value system is defined as "challenge, growth and achievement." This is what separates us from others. We have a willingness to dive in. To take risks. To go on adventures. To grow by learning and to learn by doing. To sometimes, embrace discomfort and say yes without the safety net of experience or processes. Not all humans can do this. It takes a special breed of individuals to make it here at Tremain Media.
We’ve changed a lot since our beginnings in 2001. But the core of who we are continues. We are communications specialists and we are here to help you
Consistent, reliable and always excellent – delivering quality, diverse communication services for over 15 years.
With offices in Campbell River and Nanaimo producing work for provincial and national clients. #Nanaimo #CampbellRiver #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada
