Overhaul Media

Overhaul Media, a design agency based in Edmonton, has been delivering high-quality digital, brand, and marketing projects for over a dozen years. Our mission is to help businesses redefine the way they connect with their customers by providing original ideas, pushing the boundaries of technology, and contributing work that makes a difference. We strive to help brands see design as a competitive advantage, moving beyond conventional marketing activities to deliver messages and ideas that enhance the customer experience.

Our Services

Our services range from creative direction, design & development, to marketing and communications. We work closely with our clients, from the initial concept to the final product, to reinforce their core brand values and define their unique voice in the market. Our team of experienced professionals has worked with clients large and small, across various industries, including Beljan Development, Naked & Famous Denim, HAVEN, CBC, City of Edmonton, Government of Alberta, Epic Investment Services, and many more. Our areas of expertise include lifestyle, fashion, and beauty, food, drink, and hospitality, commercial real estate, arts, culture, and media, professional, healthcare and medical, and politics, advertising and PR.

Our Process

At Overhaul Media, we approach each project with a consistent process, focusing on good people, attention to detail, and time invested in making work that moves the needle. Our process starts with a conversation, understanding your business needs, and determining if we are a good culture fit. We balk at the idea of the expert or the guru; creativity is not complex. Instead, we rely on a structure that allows for thinking differently, breaking through assumptions, and a culture that promotes openness, flexibility, and enthusiasm.

Our Culture

Our team members have decades of experience across multiple disciplines, and we believe that our size is a good thing. We are agile, smaller, and able to move quickly and efficiently, meeting our clients' needs without the bureaucracy of larger firms. Our values include good design, community, and the ability to give back, a collaborative attitude, embracing change, curiosity, and culture. We have built a team that lets us contribute wherever we can make the most significant impact, offering a wide range of core abilities, including naming strategy, concept development, visual identity, creative & art direction, print, packaging, content, advertising, environment, signage, digital, eCommerce, photography, motion video, writing, and more.
