Our raison d’ętre
Everything is story. The world revolves around it, politics and economics are shaped by it, and we each have our own. Whether we are writers or visual artists, Inkcat Media & Associates are storytellers. We translate experience into words and pictures, reflect the essence of people and organizations in language and design that is strategic and encapsulating. We believe that story told right has the power to bridge the gap between people and engender untold possibilities. It is always a pleasure and an honour to facilitate the telling of our clients’ stories.
Who is Inkcat?
Inkcat is a Vancouver-based company composed of progressive, talented individuals with integrity and heart. We offer our clients the best of our labours, and pride ourselves on our capacity for matching creativity and style with technical prowess. Writing, editing, consulting, graphic design, and website development are our lives -- we don’t do this business on the side! We’ve done our homework, attended specialty schools, and have decades of combined experience working in the field of communications.
Approach
Good copy begins with good listening
At Inkcat, we pride ourselves on being fabulous wordsmiths and artists, but first we are excellent listeners. (Yes, we have taken courses on this, too!) We invite you to tell us -- really tell us -- what you want. If you don’t know, we’ll gladly offer our sage advice, but only if you ask.
Writing “good”
Inkcat believes that good writing is concise and readily comprehensible. It flows from concept to concept, inviting the reader to engage with the material and really care about the topic. Good writing is selfless in that it cares more about being a clear conduit for expression than it does about being appreciated for its more esoteric virtues. It does not parade around in lacy dresses just to show off; it is beautiful in its own right.
Quirky and savvy
When called for, Inkcat is no slouch when it comes to being quirky and savvy (some would say “sassy”!) on the page. If you are seeking art and content with nip and claw, Inkcat is your cat.
