Panthermedia

What Panthermedia does

Panthermedia is a privately held, founder-led creative agency based in Coquitlam, British Columbia, operating since 1999. The firm delivers an integrated suite of professional services spanning responsive web design and development (WordPress and Magento e-commerce), professional photography (Canon DSLR, including custom setups for reflective products), video production (Canon 7D), print design, and social media marketing. It also operates InContactPro, a proprietary email marketing platform with reporting, lead generation, and CRM-style custom field synchronization, providing limited recurring SaaS revenue alongside project-based professional services work.

The company's underlying technology stack is conventional for a small agency: WordPress and Magento for web, Adobe Creative Suite for design, and custom-built marketing automation rather than assembled enterprise platforms. A 2010 launch added mobile website development and a customer support ticket system. The client base spans more than 20 named SMB to enterprise accounts across retail/e-commerce (The Hockey Shop, I/S Eyewear, Reef, Wildcats Apparel), hospitality (Granville Island Hotel, St. Regis, Gotham Steakhouse, multiple restaurants), construction and real estate (CDC Construction, Silver Fern Ventures, Mahana Homes), and adjacent verticals (Omada Furniture, Gourmet Settings, Cranberry Creek, Poco Vision Care).

Panthermedia's business model is sales-led via referrals; management states the firm has not made a cold sales call in 15+ years, instead relying on client satisfaction and word-of-mouth within the Metro Vancouver and Lower Mainland market. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no publicly disclosed rate cards, supplemented by InContactPro subscription revenue. The firm operates with 1-10 employees in a founder-centric delivery model.
