Solve Energy takes home Platinum for brand development.
As a B.C.-based solar company looking to expand across Western Canada, Solve Energy needed to refresh their brand development. We started with a comprehensive messaging strategy and ended with a bold new logo design and identity, complete with a striking website, merch, signage, and even branded vehicle wraps. With interactive visuals, a solar-inspired UI, and an identity that radiates confidence, Solve is now positioned as a distinct brand in clean energy.
Cowichan Adapts wins Gold for government website design.
The Cowichan Valley Regional District needed a microsite that could help residents navigate the local impacts of climate change. We delivered a clear, accessible, and dynamic platform for Cowichan Adapts, the climate adaptation strategy. The updated web design is complete with interactive maps, a hazard level banner, and a filterable library of resources. The result is a community-focused site that makes it easier for locals to stay informed and take action.
Vancouver Island Whale Watch secures gold for digital marketing.
As pioneers in sustainable whale watching, Vancouver Island Whale Watch came to us looking to boost their reach and highlight their conservation work. We delivered a digital marketing ad campaign that combined storytelling, data-driven strategy, and immersive design.
With a scroll-triggered landing page, Meta and Google ad campaigns, and stunning imagery, the numbers speak for themselves:
- 130%+ increase in sessions
- 90,000+ new users
- 1M+ impressions
- 30% jump in charter sales
That’s worthy of a gold win for sure.
Turner & Associates new website design gets recognized.
Turner & Associates is known for their precision and professionalism but felt their website didn’t reflect these values. We stepped in to deliver a web design experience that better reflects their expertise and culture.
We led with SEO strategy and built a visually engaging, user-friendly site complete with hover effects, a quote request tool, and a new Careers page to help attract top talent. It’s a digital presence as sharp as their work on the ground, and they got an honourable mention to prove it.
Full-service web design, brand development, and digital marketing.
Awards are nice. But what really matters is the impact: stronger brands, better user experiences, higher conversions, and happier clients. That’s what we care about and these wins just prove we’re doing it right.
