``Kathryn and her team came into my life at EXACTLY the right time! I was overwhelmed with a branding contract gone wrong and wasn't sure where to turn next. Kathryn and her team quickly helped not only pick up the pieces but they went above and beyond to deliver on the branding, social media content and website design and continued to work with me until I was 110% satisfied! Kathryn and her team are professional, responsive and highly creative. I can't recommend them enough!``

“We were referred to Kathryn and her team after working with a larger agency in Victoria. Swank Creative Inc. provided us with the holistic approach to our marketing that we needed, rather than just focussing on a particular campaign. This involved providing us with a strategic marketing plan, refining our website and social media channels, providing immediate insights and optimizations that had a substantial impact. They also furnished us with a detailed analysis of results, editable templates, and checklists for membership renewals and event promotion, allowing us to replicate successful campaigns.

Our goal was to evolve to be more savvy and proactive about our marketing and promotional activities. Kathryn and her team have moved us forward in achieving that goal not only by designing and managing our campaigns, but by helping us develop insights and skills that allow us to leverage the advice and technical work we receive from her.

We have experienced concrete results since starting to work with Swank Creative Inc. as we claw our way back from the pandemic’s impacts. We have seen a direct relationship between our marketing efforts and our 36% year-on-year revenue growth and 51% increase in subscriptions. Most importantly, we are seeing not only the recapture of our pre-pandemic market, but the building of a new audience, with 69% of the growth represented by new audience members, and a 35% increase in our mailing list.

Kathryn's responsiveness, transparency and willingness to share her knowledge and expertise truly set her apart.”

FAQs

Let’s start things off with a discovery call. Whether the package options above work for you or you require a customized quote, we have tried-and-true efficient processes to get you onboard and online effectively.

How long have you been a strategic marketing professional?

I have accumulated nearly two decades of professional experience working with arts and culture organizations, and my journey with Swank Creative Inc. began as a result of my passion for strategic marketing and design. It all started during my time at the University of Alberta, where I initially delved into Visual Communication Design. The pivotal moment came when my poster design for Amnesty International was recognized as the best in class. This ignited my enthusiasm for creative endeavors. Over the years, I honed my skills through roles such as Marketing Coordinator at TELUS World of Science, Window Display Studio Technician at Holt Renfrew, Membership Coordinator at the Royal BC Museum, and Marketing Specialist for various Real Estate Developments. My journey eventually brought me to Swank Creative Inc., where I continue to channel my extensive experience and unwavering passion for strategy and design into every project.

What happens if you haven’t yet worked with people in my field?

If I haven’t had the opportunity to collaborate with individuals in your specific field, rest assured that it doesn’t put you at a disadvantage; in fact, it could work to your advantage. Having worked with hundreds of clients across diverse private practices and independent industries, I’ve observed that many fields share common strategies for client attraction, resulting in a sense of repetition. This pattern often prompts me to bring a uniquely fresh perspective to your specific industry. Clients have consistently found this approach exceptionally valuable as I introduce them to novel resources and strategies they may not have encountered within their field. By standing out in an overcrowded marketplace, they become the ones who successfully attract clients.

How are you different from other "strategic marketing professionals?"

Swank Creative Inc. distinguishes itself from other marketing agencies through a unique blend of creativity, innovation, and a commitment to community building. Unlike conventional agencies, we not only provide top-notch services but also empower our clients through training, ensuring they have ownership of their marketing assets. What truly sets us apart is our ability to transform ordinary events into extraordinary experiences – from turning an Easter egg hunt into a fundraiser for Ukraine to converting a real estate open house into a vibrant neighborhood block party. We pride ourselves on doing things differently, and our exclusive focus is on collaborating with clients who share our vision of building thriving and vibrant communities. Our approach is not just about achieving results; it’s about making the process enjoyable and impactful, infusing a sense of fun into every project we undertake.
