Our Story
Symbol Syndication is a media company founded by Jonathan Hafichuk in 2014. Primarily a videography company at inception, he found the unique service of offering video production with ad-management on YouTube and Facebook to be in increasing demand. With a goal to bring high quality video production at great value to small businesses in Lethbridge and Calgary, he started building a client base.
As the company grew, we honed in on what we are best at and now only offer services we’ve found to be most valuable for our clients. Today, Symbol Syndication offers video production, photography and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to a range of clients throughout North America.
Our Team

Jon • Owner / Director
Jonathan Hafichuk’s first introduction to video was when a family friend gave him a camcorder and he started making videos with LEGO people while John Williams played in the background (anything is cinematic with John Williams).
Later, Jon dived into parkour and started making videos to get the notice of sponsors which lead to traveling around North America for competitions. After graduating from post-secondary school in Lethbridge, he started online marketing for his parents’ store, where he realized the power of video production in the digital marketing space. When other local businesses saw Jon’s work, they hired him to do the same for them. This was the birth of Symbol Syndication. Since then Jon has expanded his business from Lethbridge to Calgary, and won several awards serving some of the top companies in Canada and even several Global 500 companies.

Jeremy • Production Manager
Having been involved in live-event management for over 20 years, Jeremy brings his wealth of experience to see your project through from the brainstorming stage, all the way to delivery. He is as much at home in front of a camera as he is behind it, and uses his on-camera experience to help every one of our clients look and sound like seasoned professionals. Jeremy has travelled extensively and loves nothing more than going to a random place in the world with a camera and being allowed to create.
When he is not working with you on your project, Jeremy can be found playing Disc Golf or playing with his two Golden Retrievers. Jeremy is also the biggest nerd in the office; by a wide margin.
