Propelling social media in Chatham

Propelling social media in Chatham

The average person spends 17.5 hours a week on social media.

We propel businesses in Chatham-Kent and Perth County by tapping into the power of social media through the creation of captivating content paired with strategic social media management.

The idea for Propel all started when someone asked me "what would it take for you to stay in Chatham-Kent?" This sparked a passion for small communities. I was tired of seeing youth leave to bigger cities and feeling that same pressure myself.

I thought, rather than leave, why not stay and contribute to the growth of Chatham-Kent and make it what I want it to be?

When we propel the marketing for businesses, it has the Propel Effect: when you create thriving businesses, it inspires more locals to start businesses, encouraging people to stay or even move to the community.

This ultimately propels the local economy, youth retention, and the community as a whole.

Are you ready to propel your business, and our community, together?

Our Values:

  • We are exclusive to Chatham-Kent and Perth County

    Being born and raised in Chatham-Kent, our team is passionate about propelling our community, thus the inspiration to make Propel a CK-exclusive brand.

    We have happily turned down many businesses outside of Chatham-Kent so we can put our 100% into propelling the community we love most and the businesses in it.

    With our recent expansion, we’re excited to extend this same loyalty to Perth County. We are passionate about small communities and ready to multiply our impact. Our service areas now consist of Chatham-Kent and Perth County and we won’t be working with any business outside of these areas. Allowing us to focus fully on propelling these select communities.

  • We value loyalty

    An exclusive partnership is our promise to each client. As long as you're working with us you can rest assured that we will not be working with any of your competitors. One client per industry, with no overlapping services.

    Loyalty is one of our strongest values and it would feel inauthentic not to incorporate that into our business as well. This allows our team to give 100% to each client and assures no conflicts of interest.

  • We value time

    At Propel we believe time is the most important asset. That’s why we provide marketing and branding services to take responsibilities off of busy business owners’ plates so they can create more time in their life.

  • We value communication and feedback

    Feedback is extremely important to us as it is the only way we are able to provide results that best match your vision and needs. Feedback and open communication are something that builds trust.

    We encourage all of our clients to communicate openly and we promise the same in return to cultivate optimal relationships with our clients.

  • We are obsessed with finding a better way

    We are committed to continuous improvement and are obsessed with becoming better for our clients.

    Through frequent training, internal audits, reevaluating systems, and being open to change this allows us to be committed to being the best we can be.
