CONNECTING WITH CANADA’S AUTOMOTIVE AFTERMARKET

CHAT Integrated Media is a B2B media company focused on Canada’s Automotive Aftermarket with DIGITAL, WEB, PRINT, E-NEWS, and PROFESSIONAL SOCIAL media.

We employ a custom persona-based media approach, organizing our content into rich media streams for professionals within organizations so that they can access helpful information efficiently and to engage them on a variety of levels.

Across our key Indie Garage brand for independent auto shops and Jobber Nation for aftermarket distribution professionals, we provide dynamic, constant updates via the web, weekly dedicated e-newsletters for each, and a highly-focused and efficient print approach designed to meet the needs of readers and advertisers alike.

An increasingly valuable content resource is The Great Canadian Aftermarket Podcast which is presented on a weekly basis in audio and video format. We also mine episodes for valuable content and deliver that to readers on the web and in print. We believe in putting content where readers read it, regardless of their medium of choice.

That’s the “Integrated” in CHAT Integrated Media.

Our goal from Day One was to use our decades of combined aftermarket experience to build community and connections across Canada’s automotive aftermarket to the benefit of the entire industry.

We’ve already done quite bit to make that happen, but we have no plans to stop working on that!

And everyone who wants to be a part of the journey is invited to come along for the ride!
