Category 5 Imaging remains open and is fully committed to helping Canadian companies flatten the curve. We've been working on social distancing floor decals for essential retailers and hospitals, die-cut pieces for medical product companies and more. In early March, we implemented a robust pandemic plan with 4x daily disinfecting, work-from-home for non-production team members, building retrofits and other social distancing protocols to keep our team safe. We can quickly design, print, cut, ship and install big and small graphics in a variety of materials to anywhere in Canada. We would love to partner with talented designers on products, signage and other projects to help flatten the curve. Email

Storia Photo Video works with businesses to create, produce and distribute video content to help them leverage the power of video in their marketing. Since the onset of social and physical distancing we have put filming of all new projects on hold. We are still working on the post production of projects that had been filmed prior to the COVID-19 outbreak and working with clients (not in person of course) on the pre-production of their projects so that we are ready to go once the current situation is over. We are also taking this time to create valuable content to share with our community through weekly emails and social media (follow along on IG or Facebook @storiaphotovideo). As business owners we are here to serve and provide value to our clients at all times. During these times of uncertainty, we feel that this role is even more important. We are offering complimentary strategy calls if anyone would like to take this time to explore how video can help in staying in touch with their prospects, clients and employees and humanize communication during this time of social distancing and moving forward. To book a strategy call, email or DM us through IG.

The .design domain company and its subsidiary Porkbun.com have settled into our new normal as employees conduct business-as-usual — now from the comfort of our respective couches. Heeding governmental guidelines for social distancing, we are prioritizing the health and wellbeing of our colleagues and our community by transitioning from shared offices to individual homes. With a little help from virtual communication software, our team is still shelling out smiles and pork-related GIFs, as we continue to provide for users as we always have. We are grateful our business allows for such a seamless transition to remote work so we can best support customers through their own organizational changes — from migrating storefronts to digital platforms to finding new ways to share online. If you’re looking to kickstart your own project, refresh your freelance portfolio, or keep up the side hustle, we’re offering .design free for an entire year with the lowest annual cost thereafter. No matter what lies ahead, we are doing everything we can to keep ourselves and our communities safe, healthy and connected… hopefully with a few laughs along the way. 

 

 

 

Glenmore is remaining open to serve our essential service customers - food, beverage and pharmaceutical. Glenmore has donated labels to a local brewery who had changed over their line to produce cans of hand sanitizer refills that they are giving away to local hospitals. We see it as crucial that our shop stay open in order to allow our customers to continue packaging and selling their essential products into local grocery stores. We have a core group of extremely dedicated staff who choose to continue working during this uncertain time specifically because they want to ensure the flow of goods to local stores. We have reduced staff to ensure appropriate distancing, allowed all staff who can to work from home and implemented rigorous cleaning and sterilization programs to ensure the safety of our employees and food safety of our products.

 

 

 

For our team of ten, a typical week at Hero looks like this: everyone is within chatting distance four days out of five and one day a week we are all on set doing a photoshoot on location with crew and cast. There has been a huge shift in how we operate. How do we continue to create images while doing our part to keep everyone healthy and safe and how are we going to stay connected as a team? We’ve made a conscious effort to take this on creatively. Brainstorming topics and themes that can be done in low to no-touch ways and capturing the story of our current situation. The good news is that our photographers have families and life is still unfolding right around us. They are turning their cameras on personal moments and working in scenes that reflect what’s happening in everyone’s home. As for staying connected, daily virtual stand-ups kick off each morning, we are working online with live documents and digital PM solutions and our group texts allow space for office banter and (in)appropriate memes. Even though we are all working separately from home, we’re working closer together (something we didn’t know was even possible!) to figure out how to forge ahead.

 

 

 

During times of crisis, it’s important we continue to be creative, band together and act with clear intention. Our team at Mitchell Press have adapted so that we may provide continued, uninterrupted, creative and essential communication services for those that need it. If you need us, we’re here. #loveprint
