How it all started
Tremain Media Inc. began in 2001 as the sole proprietorship Read-TV Productions. Its first release, a literacy-based DVD, was produced by Leah Tremain as the thesis project for her Master’s in Education, thus establishing the company’s fundamental link between education and video production.

In 2006 the Read-TV proprietorship, brand, intellectual properties and all its assets were purchased and folded into the newly-formed enterprise, Tremain Media Inc.
Tremain Media was incorporated with two shareholders – Leah Tremain and the University of Victoria’s Innovation and Development Corporation. In 2011 Tremain Media Inc. purchased all shares owned by University of Victoria’s Innovation and Development Corporation (now UVic Industry Partnership).
Tremain Media initially produced educational material in partnership with educational institutions, not-for-profits, foundations and charities. Tremain Media retained ownership of a number of titles and sold the material to schools, institutions, post-secondary institutions, not-for-profits, libraries and homes across Canada and the US. Tremain Media had three educational distributors and sold over 68,000 educational DVDs across Canada.
Tremain Media’s success in the educational market resulted in clients requesting their services in producing exclusive material, thus engaging Tremain Media as a client-focused, work-for-hire company and thereby enabling an expansion of scope and services. Currently, Tremain Media produces a range of educational and promotional content in a variety of media. The company produces film and television content, web and social media sites, books, advertising and a broad range of print and web-based materials. Tremain Media content has aired on NBC-Universal, Versus and NBC Sports. Additional offerings include promotional, educational and documentary films for a variety of government and corporate clients, including the Ministry of Children & Family Development, BC Hydro, YVR and Alberta Education.
Currently Tremain Media engages in pre-production, production and post production in all media working with our internal team and best-in-class contractors on a project-by-project basis. Tremain Media conducts digital and live marketing campaigns and produces and manages live events such as industry and government announcements, treaty signing, conferences and more. Tremain Media is a full-service media, marketing and events agency.
