Some of Bryan’s History
In 1995, I started my first business, Valley Promotions, as a high school project for Entrepreneurship 12. I produced advertising publications and later expanded into promotional products. I sold this company a few years later.
Dena and I married in June 1999 and started Haines International (an import business). We purchased custom-made advertising materials from manufacturers in Taiwan and Hong Kong for sale to Canadian government agencies. This later grew into a full-size promotional agency, Brand in Hand, that did business across Canada and the US.
In 2009, we sold Brand in Hand and moved our family to Ecuador. While there, we learned the craft of content marketing, working to promote Ecuador travel. After 6 years in South America, we returned home to Nova Scotia, Canada in April 2015.
That same month, we started Storyteller Media. We help Canadian businesses grow with SEO and marketing services.
