Totemian Is Live in New Westminster

Totemian just installed its first Brandboard in New Westminster — inside Amir Baghdad Family Hair Salon on 6th St. It's one screen, but it marks Totemian's local media network expanding beyond Vancouver's core into a new neighbourhood.

Growing One Neighbourhood at a Time

Since placing its first Brandboard inside a Vancouver venue, Totemian has grown its network by adding placements one venue and one neighbourhood at a time — cafés, clinics, gyms, restaurants, salons, and the other everyday spaces where people already pause, wait, and return. New Westminster is the latest neighbourhood to join the network.

Why New Westminster

New Westminster is one of Metro Vancouver's oldest and most connected communities, with a mix of established local businesses, transit-accessible neighbourhoods, and a steady flow of residents moving through daily routines. It's exactly the kind of setting Totemian's Brandboard model is built for: real venues, real foot traffic, and real context — not another screen competing for attention no one asked to give.

What This Means for Local Businesses

For advertisers, a New Westminster presence opens a new way to reach people already in the neighbourhood — while they're getting a coffee, waiting for an appointment, or running errands close to home. Each Brandboard is placed to fit its venue rather than interrupt it, keeping the experience clean and relevant to the people who see it.

What This Means for Venues

Hosting a Brandboard — like the one now live at Amir Baghdad Family Hair Salon — adds a curated media layer to a space without turning it into an ad wall. Totemian installs, manages, and monitors the screen, while the venue stays in control of what belongs inside it.
