does this sound familiar to you?

I have a confession to make. It took me six months after incorporating Swank Creative Inc. to make a single instagram post. I had perfection paralysis and launching my own brand felt completely terrifying even though I had seamlessly launched brands for other businesses for more than 15 years.

It feels impossible to do this alone, and it’s so powerful to have a partner who brings an outside perspective along with tried-and-true strategies that have brought countless others success. We’re here for you every step of the way.

01

You Don’t know where to start

There’s too much to do and you don’t have a plan. What’s going to make the biggest impact and get us to where we need to be to deliver results? We get straight to the point and with our Mini-SWOT Analysis we formulate a plan that targets your weaknesses and fosters innovative ideas that deliver results.

02

You’ve tried some things and it’s not working

You’re jumping on trends, you’ve signed up for countless workshops, you have spent countless hours DIYing it, and other people are finding success, why not you? We’ve done this more than one-hundred times and our clients see results and we can figure out why.

03

You’ve been burned by OTHER agencies

We’ve heard it time and time again before our clients find us, they have been through the wringer with an agency that was just the wrong fit. Missed deadlines, abandoned brand updates after countless revisions, and strategies that completely miss the mark. Don’t waste your opportunity to ensure your next step takes you in the right direction.

TRIED-AND-TRUE

WE HAVE THE RIGHT SYSTEM FOR YOU.

Our expertise lies in Strategic Planning, Brand Development, Campaign Implementation, and Marketing Reporting. But it’s not just about what we do – it’s about how we do it. We bring a genuine, “get it done” mentality to the table, combined with an innate sense of fun, form, and function. Designer at heart, I believe in merging creativity with strategy to achieve impactful results.

FRACTIONAL CMO SERVICES

what if I told you there was a different way?

A fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) is a senior-level marketing executive who works for an organization on a part-time or temporary basis, typically through a consulting arrangement. Fractional CMOs provide strategic direction, leadership, and expertise in marketing, but without the commitment and cost associated with hiring a full-time CMO.

Organizations might choose to hire a fractional CMO instead of investing in a full-time marketing coordinator for several reasons:

  1. Expertise: Fractional CMOs often bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table, having worked in various industries and with different types of organizations. They can provide strategic guidance and help develop effective marketing strategies tailored to the organization’s goals and target audience.

  2. Cost-effectiveness: Hiring a fractional CMO can be more cost-effective than hiring a full-time marketing coordinator, especially for small or medium-sized businesses with limited budgets. Fractional CMOs typically charge a fee based on the hours worked or the scope of the project, making them a more flexible and affordable option.

  3. Flexibility: Fractional CMOs offer flexibility in terms of time commitment and engagement duration. Organizations can engage them for specific projects or periods of time, allowing for scalability and adjustment based on the organization’s needs and budget.

  4. Objectivity: Fractional CMOs bring an outsider’s perspective to the organization, which can be valuable in identifying blind spots, uncovering opportunities, and offering unbiased advice. They can assess the organization’s marketing efforts objectively and provide recommendations for improvement.

  5. Strategic planning and implementation: Fractional CMOs can help organizations develop comprehensive marketing plans and execute them effectively. They can oversee the implementation of marketing initiatives, monitor performance, and make adjustments as needed to achieve the desired results.

FAQs

I have accumulated nearly two decades of professional experience working with arts and culture organizations, real estate development and luxury retail industries, and my creation of Swank Creative Inc. began as a result of my passion for providing strategic marketing and design for arts and culture organizations. 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.

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.

Swank Creative Inc. distinguishes itself from other marketing agencies through a unique blend of creativity, innovation, and a commitment to community building. Kathryn has worked as a graphic designer, web developer, event coordinator, marketing manager… she’s seen it all. 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 brands 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.
