Caledon Business Profile: We Are Creative
|
|
|
Address: 12598 Queen St. S. (Hwy.50), Bolton, ON L7E 1T6 (map)
Tel: 647.557.WERC (9372)
Email: hello@wearecreative.ca
Online: WeAreCreative.ca | FB.com/WeAreCreative
That's the motto that We Are Creative Inc. (WeRC) has been built on, and the reason why more and more local businesses turn to them to help improve their marketing systems. Over the past 3 years WeRC has been steadily making a name for themselves as Caledon's one-stop full service marketing agency. Their services includes graphic design, printing, web design, social media, advertising, and promotional products. (A full list of services can be found at: http://www.wearecreative.ca/services/services.html)
What began as a home-based business has recently grown into a new storefront location on Hwy. 50 in the south end of Bolton. On April 1st, We Are Creative will be celebrating their 3rd birthday (and that's no joke). The party will last all month long, so stop by their office and "Spin The Wheel" for your chance to win a prize!
President (and lifelong Bolton resident) Steve Conforti said: "The idea behind the company is simple. You could spend hours trying to find a graphic designer or web designer, nevermind a printshop, and a promo products provider. So why not spend that time focused on what you're good at -- your job -- and leave the creative to us? Just think of us as your one-stop full service creative team."
