Keith Walthers

President

Keith Walthers has been a huge fan of media and sales since childhood. Thinking he was good enough to be on air, he went to Loyalist College to study broadcasting only to be told that he had a wretched, scratchy voice. Dreams in tatters, Keith picked himself up and got a job as a producer and board op at CFRB 1010 in Toronto where he was exposed to big market radio and developed an even deeper love for the industry. From there he became Creative Director for a mid-market radio station where he learned the art of inventive ad production. He worked closely with the sales people and grew envious of their nice suits, better than average cars and seeming ability to come and go as they pleased.  This envy gave him the resolve to begin a life in sales.

He had won the prize for most chocolate bar sales as a child so he knew he had it in him. He wanted to move back to his hometown of Ottawa so he scored a job that gave him the flexibility to move, selling Life Insurance for Met Life. Life Insurance sales truly represented the school of hard knocks and while extremely difficult, the experience gave him a very strong foundation in the game of sales.  It also made everything else he has done since seem very easy!

As Vice President of Sales at Ad Caffeine Tim’s “leave it better than he found it” attitude has helped him become a trusted sales leader who consistently exceeds targeted results while maintaining financial accountability.

That focus lead Tim to spend over 20 Award Winning years in the Interior Design world.

Tim takes the time to tailor every campaign specifically to the business’ needs. Tim and his wife Cindy have 3 children, 6 Grandchildren and live their lives at the Lake home they had always dreamed of!
