Our Story
We didn’t set out to be a marketing agency.
We set out to help people communicate better, with content that connects, strategies that make sense, and creative that moves people. From the UK to Calgary, Thumbmuffin is built on practical thinking, honest storytelling, and helping businesses grow by being more human, not more complicated.
From Engineering Roots to Creative Results
Thumbmuffin didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with one person, Dan Clayton, blending a background in engineering with a passion for music, audio, and storytelling. The business was born in the UK, helping musicians and creative professionals bring their content to life. In 2018, Dan moved to Calgary and brought Thumbmuffin with him, expanding its reach and refocusing on helping businesses communicate with clarity and personality. From the beginning, Thumbmuffin has been built on the belief that technical thinking and creative delivery belong together.
Why We Exist
Marketing is full of noise. But if your story is told clearly, it cuts through. Thumbmuffin exists to help businesses do just that. We are not here to pitch a package and walk away. We get into the rhythm of your business, understand what makes you tick, and help you express it in a way that connects. Whether you are launching something new or refining what you have built, we work as your creative partner to bring that message to life.
What Makes Us Different
We do not just build campaigns. We become part of your team. We think like consultants and create like a studio. We do not follow trends for the sake of it, and we do not use fluff or jargon. We focus on helping you grow, stay relevant, and be remembered. We act as your marketing quarterback, helping you stay focused, accountable, and always moving forward.
From Calgary, For Canadian Business
Based in Calgary, we work with ambitious companies across Alberta and beyond. From environmental consultancies and engineering firms to service-based businesses and community initiatives, we bring clarity, creativity, and commercial sense to every project.
Your Brand Is More Than a Logo
It is your story, your team, your culture, and your impact. We help you tell that story with video, content, and strategy that does not just look good but actually works. Whether it is a brand video, social campaign, or full content plan, we make sure what you say and how you say it leaves a mark.
