About Tidefin

We started Tidefin because local businesses kept getting the leftover version of marketing.

Big brands get full production crews and media buyers. The independent shop down the street gets a template and a prayer. We built Tidefin Media to close that gap — right here on the coast.

The idea

Named for two things a coastal town knows well.

A tide — the rhythm every local business runs on, season by season. A fin — cutting through the surface, visible before the rest follows. Tidefin exists to make sure our clients are the ones cutting through.

Based here

Vancouver & the Lower Mainland

We work with businesses we can actually visit — Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, and the surrounding communities.

Built lean

A small, hands-on crew

No account managers relaying your notes to someone else. The people who plan your shoot are the people holding the camera.

Media-first

Content is the foundation

Ads and social only work as well as the footage behind them — so production comes first, strategy is built around it.

How we work

Three things we hold to on every project.

These aren't steps in a process — they're the standard every piece of work gets measured against, from a single photo shoot to a full campaign.

Local first

We work in your neighbourhood, not around it

Shoots happen on-site, strategy accounts for your actual service area, and we understand who your customer is because they're often ours too.

Straight talk

No inflated reports, no vanity metrics

We'll tell you when a campaign isn't working as plainly as we tell you when it is. You'll always know what your marketing is actually doing.

Ownership

Your footage, your accounts, your call

Raw files, ad accounts, and platform access stay yours. We're a crew you hire, not a system you get locked into.
