OUR ROOTS.
Anawtin Agency began with a belief that marketing could be more meaningful.
Rooted in an Indigenous perspective and a deep respect for story, Anawtin Agency was created to bring together creativity, strategy, and communication in a way that feels intentional and human. Our work is shaped by the understanding that stories carry meaning, relationships matter, and the way we communicate can have an impact far beyond a screen.
Our roots are grounded in community, culture, creativity, and connection. Through years of working across Indigenous tourism, entrepreneurship, media, communications, and community initiatives, we saw an opportunity to create something that brought these worlds together—an agency that could help people not only tell their stories, but understand how and why those stories are being told.
Today, Anawtin Agency works with brands, entrepreneurs, and organizations to turn ideas into meaningful creative work. Whether we're building a brand, creating content, shaping a social media presence, or helping organizations approach Indigenous stories with greater care, we lead with curiosity, intention, and respect.
At the heart of Anawtin Agency is a simple belief: good marketing should connect people, honour the story, and leave something meaningful behind.

My journey into this work began in 2019, when I started my career as a journalist. Journalism taught me to listen—to ask better questions, to look beyond the surface, and to understand that every story carries meaning. It also taught me that being trusted with someone’s story is a responsibility.
Since then, my path has taken me through journalism, marketing, Indigenous tourism, communications, and community work. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Indigenous entrepreneurs, organizations, creatives, and businesses, helping them turn ideas into stories, and stories into something people can connect with.
Along the way, I realized that this was the work I wanted to keep doing—but on my own terms.
I created Anawtin Agency because I believe marketing should be thoughtful, meaningful, and rooted in connection. It should help people share their stories with clarity and intention while staying true to who they are and the communities they represent.
Anawtin Agency is deeply rooted in where I come from and the values I carry with me: community, relationship, creativity, reciprocity, and respect for story.
So whether you’re here with a fully formed vision or just the beginning of an idea, I’m glad you found your way here.
Let’s create something meaningful.
