BASEPATH?
The Basepath team has extensive business, communications and marketing experience stretching back over four decades. We are part of the Trustmakers Group of Companies. This group includes Trustmakers, a communications training company; RMA Strategic Communications, a national communications and marketing company; and, of course, Basepath Media.
John McKay is the guy behind Basepath Media and leads the teams he assembles for each project. In fact, he has a number of communications and marketing professionals at his disposal and the audio/video production capacity to make things happen. He is a former television producer and community newspaper editor, and a former advisor and director of communications for the federal government. For the past 25 years he has operated businesses specializing in communications, marketing, and community engagement.
The Basepath team has worked on the following projects and countless others.

For example, they generated and coordinated media coverage related to team players participating in the Toronto Blue Jays Futures tournament in the summer of 2022, resulting in media coverage on TSN, talk radio stations and daily newspapers.
- They arranged and coordinated promotions for clients at games played at Ottawa’s Triple-A stadium. For example, they partnered with the team to promote a large airshow event (including ticket giveaways at local radio stations). They also organized and hosted a number of corporate events during CamAm League games.
