Founding Client
The Rural Alberta Report
Stettler, AB, Canada
The Rural Alberta Report, a publication of KCJ Media Group Ltd. is a locally owned multimedia company dedicated to telling the stories that matter to rural Alberta. Our team of reporters and journalists formerly worked for the ECA Review, a long-standing voice in East Central Alberta. In 2025, we acquired the ECA Review and launched The Rural Alberta Report, a fresh, digital-first publication built on the same commitment to community storytelling, with expanded coverage of local, Canadian, and world news.

Working with Melanie at Rooted Deep Creative was a seamless experience from start to finish. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right, and her creative insight helped bring our vision to life in ways we hadn’t imagined. We’re so grateful for her work on the Rural Alberta Report website—it’s been a game-changer for how we present ourselves and connect with our community. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a designer who truly cares about the heart behind your business.
