Chad Kroeker

Creative Director

In 1999, Chad Kroeker began his career as an IT professional for a large Oil & Gas firm in Calgary, Alberta. In his downtime, he used his unique blend of creative talent and technical expertise allowed him to design logos, brochures and web sites for friends and family. He dreamed that one day he could turn his passion into a full-time job.

After receiving a formal education in web technology and print marketing in 2001, Chad landed his first industry job with Blackfoot Motosports – the largest motorcycle dealership in Canada – and a client who ClearMotive continues to work with today.

Chad’s first job was to redesign Blackfoot’s web site from start to finish. The old site didn’t attract much attention at all, and within a year, the new site was seeing over 5 million hits a month.

In the following years, Blackfoot provided Chad with the opportunities to learn marketing on many different levels. From designing their 53 foot Race Team Transporters, to producing signage, TV and radio campaigns, point-of-purchase materials and large outdoor billboards, this was an opportunity that propelled him into a life of marketing.

In 2005, Chad began attracting the attention of large national brands and he saw the opportunity to branch out on his own. He founded ClearMotive and hasn’t looked back.

Nowadays, clients look to Chad for creative oversight, strategy, and real-world experience. Creative without strategy is just art; creative with strategy is called advertising. This is why ClearMotive is different: A full-service advertising agency that pushes past mere artwork and focuses on impact. Our marketing solutions not only look good – they work.

Tyler Chisholm

Director of Operations

Through his involvement in several local businesses, Tyler’s goal-oriented, results-driven approach has created a small army of impressed clients. It’s this same approach that’s lead to his success at ClearMotive.

In 2004, Tyler started Bodyprint – a complete approach to fitness and nutrition. His business took off, and he found himself needing marketing materials and a website – so he turned to his friend, Chad Kroeker.

The two successfully build the Bodyprint website, and during their collaboration, realized something: Tyler’s success and experience in growing and managing businesses was the perfect compliment to Chad’s creative strategy. Tyler joined ClearMotive as the partner to manage business and staff development, finances and the “business” side of business.

Today, Tyler’s business sense drives ClearMotive’s growth strategies. Tyler uses his expertise to advise ClearMotive’s clients, and help create successful marketing initiatives.
