What We Do


Our mission has always been to provide advertisers with creative solutions that drive transformative digital growth.

Together with our sister company, Door Knocker Media, strategy and creativity collide, offering brands a one-stop solution to connecting with their consumers online.

We create powerful video content and build custom, ROI-focused campaigns that drive tangible consumer action to grow your business.

The Chime Approach


We believe that the greatest way to engage with today’s technology empowered consumer isn’t with technology at all – it’s with an idea.  A magical idea that transcends channels, and is simply enabled by the technology we have available.

At Chime, we aim to transform the way people experience ads. The constant question we ask ourselves is: How can we not only make people click, but make people CARE?

We work hard to deliver not just an impression, but a moment.

It’s not just eyeballs we’re after – it’s hearts and minds.

Our Biggest Passion


What really excites – and unites – us is our desire to give back.

Since our founding in 2015, we have been committed to “doing well by doing good” and have worked with many charities that our team and our clients are passionate about.

We love what we do.

We want to make a difference while we’re at it.

As our first experience in podcasts, we were reassured by the expertise and ongoing leadership from the Chime team (and incredibly thankful for their patience with us as we became acquainted with the process, etc.). They were phenomenal partners and quickly became an integral extension of our team. Not only did The Northern Take exceed our expectations, but it provided our clients a reimagined way to travel and adventure through global travel suppression. There was no other partner I would have wanted by our side!”
