Canopy Media is a team that runs on ideas. There is no CEO, no middle management and ultimately no boundaries.
We are friends and co-workers who recognize the power of creative thinking and hard work. Our company is the result of putting those two things together. Our team’s success is the result of loving every minute of it.
Kai sees the big picture. He brings the intangibles to the table with every ingredient we need to take your project from good to great.
He once considered framing and mounting his degrees and diploma early in his communications career, but instead used the hammer and nail to build a tree-house.
When he’s not in the office, Kai can be found wrestling with his four boys and daughter, blazing a trail out back, or songwriting at the kitchen table. We count on Kai to keep our ship steered straight.
Eric thinks in code, for the most part, and generates inspired lines and shapes, too. These are exciting times for our hockey-crazed technical master as he and his wife are seeing the world through their children’s eyes.
On most weekends, you can hear Eric’s contribution to the low end of the sound spectrum as his rock ’n’ roll band turns local bars around eastern Ontario into fun arenas. We depend on Eric to transform ideas and translate your story.
Mike loves words and solving problems. Transferring complete ideas into readable concepts is what drives him on a daily basis and a solid background in journalism gives him the tools to perform.
Most of his spare time is spent in the garden tending to tomatoes and pepper plants, on the bike trails looking for wild foods or on his computer developing websites. We rely on Mike to cut away the excess baggage and to sharpen a project’s focus.
Amy writes for one main reason: There’s a lot of interesting stuff out there. She sees herself as part educator, part translator, and occasional tour guide.
A bit of a geek, Amy lives in the space where words and tech collide. Outside of her work with Canopy Media, she helps causes and small businesses get their message out in print and online. Otherwise managed by her cats, she’s also a fan of great food, un-oaked wines, cycling and rugby.
Ben writes. He keeps his volume high and his pace fast, but wears a helmet when biking. He’s been making a career out of finding the right words for about a decade and Canopy Media looks to him to maintain the idea machine at full speed.
Somewhere buried under dusty scribble-books in a closet in his parents’ house is a degree in English Literature and a diploma in Journalism. We rely on Ben to shape your project with language.
You can learn more about Ben at his personal website.
Laura craves words like others crave food. Upon awakening, she has a need to read. The morning news, a chapter in a book by a favourite Canadian mystery author or educational material on birds, they are all food for her soul.
She spends countless hours with camera to eye, capturing images of the ever-fascinating ruby-throated hummingbird.
A trained journalist, Laura loves constructing sentences that flow easily off the tongue when spoken aloud. We count on Laura to communicate your story in an engaging way.
