SOLUTIONS ARE TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS We don’t assume to know what our clients require or want. We listen and then strive to deliver effective strategies – to give our clients the best value for their communications and marketing investment.

Q4 Reliable solutions Our approach is to work with you as if we are an extension of your marketing/communications division – or in some cases THE marketing department. Professionalism, confidentiality and responsiveness are what you can expect.

Every company or corporation has specific needs, an individual culture and unique branding. A boilerplate solution is not going to meet your requirements. So, we don’t even attempt to template solutions and sell you a package.

We work with you to tailor a strategy or solution that will provide the best return on your investment. We’re in the business of creating successful strategies for you alone.

welcome to the napa valley crush co-operative.

Some of world’s most sought after, and most expensive wine, is now produced in the Napa Valley in Northern California. In Napa, wine has been elevated to an art form practiced by passionate artisanal winemakers who create the finest possible wines, often in extremely limited quantities. Most of these artisanal Napa wines are unavailable to wine lovers in Canada because of restrictive government import policies and import taxes that are among the highest in the world.

California is one of the world’s largest wine producing regions.

However, the wine produced in the Napa Valley represents only 5% of this total production. Almost all of the more than 3,000 wineries licensed in California are classified as “small” or “limited production”, often making only a few thousand cases of wine per year. Increasingly, these small boutique wineries sell directly to their loyal customers, completely avoiding i T h channels o u Rof distribution T h a Nand k retailing S theW traditional of wine.

Integrating the tiffany glass of Mother’s past in the booths as back lit panels and a large panel in the ceiling will add a warm nostalgic feel to the overall ambiance of the parlor dining room.

STRATEGIC PARTNERS MOBILE MARKETING

There are a bewildering array of technology options and marketing channels available to brands today. With a phone in everyone’s pocket, conventional wisdom says that your brand’s message must be mobile. That leaves companies facing the question “App versus Web - where do I spend my budget”? What is the better option for my brands?

A look at the numbers from comScore research in early 2010 shows that mobile Web browsing on smartphones is growing at almost exactly the same pace as apps. App penetration is just under 70 million while browser use is at 73 million. In major content categories including social networking, the mobile Web has twice the audience of apps.

Tagga creates connections between brands and customers. They are web, mobile and social.

Tagga works with Q4 Communications to get in front of a wider audience and have a meaningful connection with our customer. We use Tagga to get connected – we are locals in the new reality, we can hook you up.

HEIGHTENED PROFILE

SB Partners is an accounting firm in Burlington that has become a major player in the region after they were rebranded to reflect a more robust and proactive menu of services. We also took the firm’s Managing Opportunities and Reducing Exposure program and developed a package that is being used by other accounting firms.

Byrne Engineering of Burlington was rebranded to give it a current image. We also launched a communication strategy that helped the firm to triple its business over the next four years.

The firm has since been absorbed by Ameresco Canada and has expanded its business further.

The challenge for many businesses today is to increase and/or maintain a heightened profile. The key is to stand out in the crowd, to be accepted as a viable alternative and to build on the services or characteristics of your business that differentiate you in the marketplace.

The principals of Q4 Communications have assisted many firms to improve their image and increase business.

Brady Financial Group was rebranded for its fifth anniversary and today is a leader in group benefits and workplace wellness services. An aggressive client communication strategy combined with media exposure about Brady’s innovative programs have helped the firm almost double in size in the past five years.

Effective brand building, brand awareness, communicating what differentiates the business and utilizing positive testimonials are critical strategies for improving one’s bottom line.

MESSAGING Ever been cornered at a party by a person who runs on at the mouth?

Then you know how important communication can be. The adage “Choose your words wisely” has never been more apropos than in marketing. Some people use a lot of words without really saying anything. We have a word for that, but we can’t use it here.

What we can say is that people connect with stories…real stories told in a compelling way. Customers today are short on time and long on options so we aim for clarity, brevity and precision. But don’t be fooled into thinking that brevity equals insignificant or easy. Blaise Pascal, the French philosopher, once said, “If I had more time, I would have written you a shorter letter.” Distilling your message is challenging and most clients look forward to it about as much as a stick in the eye. But it is essential. And done right, it can be a powerful, game-changing experience.

We develop messaging for our clients that is real and compelling by first getting a clear understanding of who they are, who they’re serving, and why it matters.

There is a vital need to safeguard the enduring legacy found in the vintage photographic record. A number of leading Canadian educational institutions possess the desire, ability and capacity to house and preserve these unique cultural and artistic resources, and to make them available for all to cherish. Yet, none of these institutions have the financial resources necessary to purchase these photographs for their public collections.

The Vintage Iconic Archives (VIA) Project makes it possible for individual Canadians to play a vital role. As collectors first, and thereafter as donors, we can ensure the preservation of these captivating and intensely valuable artifacts, while receiving significant personal tax benefits in the process.

VISUAL IDENTITY Today’s society is information rich and time poor. And so, it is often the creative visual expression of a brand that delights, inspires and moves people. A carefully crafted visual presence is essential to differentiate effectively, build trust and advance the strategy.

Since the Homo sapiens, symbols and images have been used to record stories and express individuality. Given the speed of life today, their use is increasingly important. The designer’s palette includes color, shape, typography, imagery, style, composition and the sensory. When thoughtfully and artfully combined, the result is nothing short of...well...inspiring.

People tend to form their opinions about who you are and what you’re about before they can hear what you have to say. So, while cultivating character and personality are critical for success, it is equally important to dress the part. Being real with your image will ensure that you attract and connect with the right people. If you walk like a duck and quack like a duck, it’s best if you also look like a duck.

DIGITAL STRATEGY A website brings together words, imagery, information and user experience like no other medium has before. The audience has high expectations – they demand sites that are well designed and information rich.

And that only matters if they are able to find you in the first place.

We have designed and built many effective professional trades websites. They are all unique and have very different objectives, but we’ve started each one the same way – by gaining a complete understanding of core issues. We submit that a website’s effectiveness corresponds directly to the amount of planning put into it.

We execute our web projects with the highest standards in design and technology. Unlike pre-packaged software, our websites are not bloated with unnecessary features. We simply provide our clients with the tools they need to connect with their customers, manage their content and administer registrations and/or transactions. While we provide ongoing support for significant updates, it is our goal to empower staff to manage as much of their websites as possible.
