ABOUT BLACKBERRIES
 
We believe that
.... truth in advertising is not an oxymoron
... what you say matters and how you say it
makes a difference
... what is real, genuine & true trumps
that which is manufactured
... AND, that neither your business, nor ours,
is about smoke and mirrors.

Who we are
Blackberry Creative is an advertising, communications & design team located in Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island. “We’re not big, but we’re small” means when you call us we answer our own phone; when you meet with us you meet the creative team, not an account rep or sales professional; and when you hire us you know who will be working on your project... Po Wan and Sandy Robson.


HOW WE WORK
 
First we listen... to you.
Then we ask questions... lots of them.
We take the time do our homework, researching your market,
your industry, your competition and the opportunities and
challenges facing you. Then we start looking for answers.

Our creative process starts with putting into words,
the essence of who you are and what your business
is all about.

Exploring a variety of approaches, we work up ideas,
toss them around and throw most of them out!
We doodle, sketch, drink far too much coffee, pace the floor
and even sing show tunes if we have to and then
... we craft your message and develop a plan
that will move your target audience to take action.
Our core strength lies in our ability to develop concepts & design
that celebrates what is real about your company and what makes
it stand out from the rest. Our creative solutions are not slick
for the sake of slick, or trendy for the sake of fashion.
We are not here to sell you a style or a look... great design
is not about creating a facade.

We invite you to browse through some of the unique solutions
we've developed and if you are looking for a fresh approach
to marketing your business, we would love to hear from you.

The Silver Bullet
Magazine & newspaper ad campaigns, PR strategy, editorial exposure, online ads, community events & sponsorship, interactive websites, e-newsletters, catalogues, direct mail, radio & television spots, billboards... all of them can have a place in bringing success to you and your business; but no single one of them is the answer to all your marketing questions. Although many will tell you otherwise, no one has the silver bullet... no one!

If you tell us you need a rack card, we will take the time to consider why. Maybe you need a postcard or an e-newsletter, a billboard or a radio spot instead and then again maybe you do need a rack card! What we do know is you will save time & money in the long run by setting goals, thinking through challenges, weighing options and remembering the big picture. You are unique, your business faces a unique set of circumstances and the right answers will be your own.
The Ideal Client
We look for business relationships that develop over time and are based on a willingness to grow, explore and succeed together. We are committed to developing quality, long-term client partnerships, working together to effectively balance creative ideas with time & budget guidelines.

We believe in the win-win situation where there is respect for the skills, knowledge and experience everyone brings to the table. If your business is like ours, it is about working hard, investing for the long haul, trying out ideas & strategies, and allowing time for great ideas to develop in order to realize your goals.

We look forward to discussing those goals with you!
