Our History
CopperMoon was
launched as JWB Web Site Design and Computer
Services in
1999. Guided by the insight and expertise of its
founder
and CEO, Jacob Beaton, CopperMoon quickly evolved
into western Canada’s first full service Aboriginal communications
agency.
Over time we found that our early business model, based on established mainstream agencies, was ineffective for First Nations. We adapted our structure, so we were better prepared to meet the needs of our clients.
In 2005 we moved away from having a centralized
office in a central location, and drastically reduced our overhead. Now
we have First Nations team members throughout the province. This allows
our team members to stay connected to their communities, as well as
gives us the ability to provide service to northern and interior
communities. Each of our team members has the opportunity to create
positive, meaningful relationships with First Nations organizations in
their community. We are now committed to community-based "smart growth”
that aims to build the business with our communities
