Mediavandals

What Mediavandals does

Mediavandals is a privately held creative agency operating as 1000949366 Ontario Inc. from Port Hope, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 2009 by Sheila Heard, the firm provides branding, graphic design, print design, corporate rebranding, packaging design, event branding, and promotional campaign services. The core delivery team consists of three people — Sheila Heard (Founder), Brandon Heard (Lead Creative and Project Management), and Ryan Taylor (Creative Director, joined 2024) — leveraging industry-standard creative tools (Adobe Creative Suite) and large format printing systems (Oce, HP, Onyx) alongside web, print, vehicle wrap, and digital installation capabilities.

The agency's stated customer base spans both enterprise brands (Disney, NBA, Ford, Shell, BMO, American Express, Air Miles, Universal Music, Ubisoft Canada, AT&T, Lowe's, GO Transit) and small/midsize enterprises (Peak Potential Rehabilitation, The HVAC Lead Rescue Co., Port Hope & District Chamber of Commerce, Vividata), with the firm explicitly positioning SME enablement as its stated passion while leveraging enterprise credentials for credibility. Revenue is generated through two streams: one-time project-based custom engagements and a subscription/retainer model with 1-year initial terms and monthly auto-renewals; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Go-to-market is 100% direct — website contact form and email outreach ([email protected]) — supplemented by organic social presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram and a portfolio/case-study site. The business is bootstrapped, founder-owned, with no external investment, parent company, subsidiaries, or disclosed revenue. Award recognition includes CCMA Creative Director of the Year (2018, Brandon Heard), CCMA Album Design of the Year (2015, Brandon Heard), and Canadian Marketing Association Awards.
