Treehouse Media

What Treehouse Media does

Treehouse Media is a privately held, Victoria-based marketing services agency founded in 1994, operating with a small team (1-10 employees, anchored by two directors) to provide integrated media planning and advertising services to local and regional businesses in Western Canada. Its offering is structured around five service pillars — Research, Traditional Media (print, radio, TV, out-of-home, direct mail), Digital Media (paid search, social, display, native, mobile), Analytics, and Strategy — which the firm packages either as a full-service marketing provider or as an embedded extension of a client's existing marketing team. The firm does not operate proprietary technology; rather, it leverages industry-standard advertising platforms and syndicated research to plan, execute, and report on campaigns, with media-buying pass-through and professional service fees forming the revenue base.

The go-to-market motion is consultative and sales-led: prospective clients are invited to contact the firm for a free consultation, with no publicly disclosed pricing or service tiers. Customer segmentation is horizontal, targeting SMB clients who lack internal marketing depth and need help identifying audiences, negotiating media buys, and producing customized performance reporting across both traditional and digital channels. Leadership is the firm's primary differentiator — Steve Hutchinson (Director of Media Services) holds 26+ years of agency media experience plus Web Analytics Certified Master and Conversion Optimization credentials, while Don Landels (Director of Client Services) brings 30+ years of media-industry sales experience including prior senior leadership at Rogers Media.

No funding rounds, M&A activity, partnerships, regulatory actions, or expansion into new geographies or verticals are documented. The firm operates as an independent, founder/owner-led consultancy with no external investors or parent company, and there is no public disclosure of revenue, headcount detail beyond the two named directors, or quantitative client outcomes.
