About Us
Kicker tells stories.
Only a truly powerful story can transform your business message into an experience. We create videos and digital media - as well as provide media training sessions that work. In every sense of the word. Whether it's corporate communications, PR, marketing films or Internet videos.
Started in 2005 by Kate Mistol and her husband Paul, our roots are in traditional television where we developed short, sophisticated news stories for CBC, CTV, NBC and ABC News.
Our focus is to help our clients kick it up a gear. This is our strength. It's about far more than just a corporate video on DVD, a multimedia presentation or a webcast. We help you discover new ways to reach your audience, motivating them into action. We have expertise across multiple distribution mediums - broadcast, Internet, corporate venues, in-store and more.
Corporations, PR firms and government agencies rely on Kicker for first class customer service and exceptional value. Our team has thousands of hours of broadcast television and non-broadcast corporate production experience. Why trust your next project to anyone else?
