Tracey Wimperly, Vancity, Manager Employee Communications
“Catherine and her team were the perfect combination of strategic problem-solving and creative juices to take on Vancity’s internal branding project. We had recently developed a new external identity and realized there was a wonderful opportunity to “turn the sweater inside out” to reflect who we are and what we stand for to our employees. We weren’t sure how to proceed with this project, but the folks at Ideastream eased us through the process by seeking to really understand what makes us tick and what our values are. Conversation was ongoing and our input was always welcomed as the creative process picked up speed. Catherine has an uncanny knack for seeing what could be and we were delighted with the result: a new internal identity that is a signature on all our communication collateral, from posters to our corporate intranet site.”
Treana Peake, Obakki Design

Ideastream has the ability to take our vision and translate it into quality design work that accurately reflects us as a company. When I am putting a lot of time and money into a high end product – whether it be a website, promo piece or corporate package – Ideastream is the team I want handling it.”
