Markon Brands is amazing! They revamped our business site and gave us exactly what we wanted and asked for. They were professional, kind, respectful of all our changes and questions and made us feel safe to share our designs, passwords and business model with them. We would recommend any business in need of webdesign to reach out. Their prices are fair and their expertise in this field was exceptional. Thank Markon Brands! We feel grateful and are proud of the site we created together. More...

When I first went to Markon I simply asked them to copy my existing website . They came back a week later and said please check out what we did. They came up with a much better website. I am Uber picky and I have to say they were amazing on all aspects of design and implementation. Not only were they incredibly nice but things were done at a very rapid rate. Their prices were more than reasonable. It was a wonderful experience and I wish I could give them more stars but they limited me to 5. More...

Their patience was superb, attention to detail spot on and overall professionalism a 10.  I would not miss the opportunity to hire them again. More...

It was such a great experience working with Kristine from Markon Brands. She was incredibly efficient with coding and could troubleshoot any roadblocks we encountered tweaking my website. She also has a solid graphic design sense, which always helps. My one-hour session was more than worth it's intended value. I'm looking forward to working with her again! More...

I came upon Markon Brands through a Squarespace developer index and to be honest, I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I had never done any customisation to my website and wasn't even sure if what I was trying to implement was possible. Kristine and her team from Markon knew exactly what I wanted to create and went about building it perfectly and I'm still using it. I would recommend Markon Brands for any web development work. They overdelivered and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. 11/10 work. More...

Markon Brands exceeded all expectations. We asked them to create a website experience on par with the real-life experience of visiting Prep urban hair studio. It had to be fun and playful, yet urban and modern. The result was fantastic. On top of that, they were such a pleasure to work with. They quickly responded to any requests or questions that I had. I will use them again for my next project. More...

They are super helpful, and if you aren't into wasting your time on Vista Print, they are a great option. I thought it would be cheaper online, but Markon is the same or less most of the times I've checked.

I just booked an appointment online with The Red Chair Salon in Vancouver using the Web site designed by Markon Brand Design. Very impressive. I loved the graphics and the simplicity of the design that gave me everything I needed, clearly and concisely. The message to potential customers was very personal, and it was reassuring to know that all the reviews on the site came from actual verified customers.

Markon team, keep up the good work supporting Vancouver businesses!!

I've truly enjoyed working with Kristine and Michael at Markon Brand Designs. Building a brand is more than just picking a name, it's about defining my business in print. Although I can creatively design a wedding or party, I have no graphic design background so I went on the hunt for a marketing company that could help. Doing my due diligence, I contacted several local companies, but really liked Kristine right from the initial meeting! After talking to a couple of her current clients about the service they provided, I was sold and our partnership began!

The only thing I knew for certain was there needed to be the color Orange represented in my branding somewhere.

Markon delivered a group of logos featuring birch trees, branches, origami cranes and a wonderful color palette of grays and, yes, ORANGE!

I've really become attached to one of them in particular, the round logo with the large orange crane, for its simplicity and ease of use in different mediums. My next favorite is the forest graphic with 1000 STORIES printed boldly and a smaller, yet very present, orange crane. But having an entire brand suite available ensures the brand identity will remain strong.

Kristine and Michael have continued to deliver projects, as promised, on time and I am looking forward to working with them on the next task of a store-front sign and then whatever else I find I need, I know I have a partner that will bring it to life and continue to strengthen the 1000 STORIES brand.

The decals they made for our over-sized sandwich boards were: a great value, ready next day, and went on like a dream. They excel at customer service, delivered prompt proofs and their graphic designer gave me good advice that has upped my game as a dab illustrator.

Q&As

We believe that a great website is one that is almost invisible. Technology should be there to help make our lives easier, not more cumbersome. We don't sell sites that require constant attention, plugin updates, bug fixes or the need to know any code. Your website is one of your most significant business assets and should be easy for you to use, update and maintain. We only create and support sites built on the Squarespace platform for just this reason! Our team includes authorized Squarespace trainers and certified Circle members, so you can trust that we know our stuff. What makes a great website otherwise really varies by business and by industry; your site should reflect your brand, connect with your target audience in a meaningful way and help sell your product or services 24/7.

Most of our projects begin with a thorough branding questionnaire that covers likes/dislikes, goals and challenges. We'll ask for a list of competitors and businesses you look up to for inspiration. If necessary, we can help direct you to establish things such as brand voice, values and missions statements or brand keywords that can help guide our work. We ask a lot of questions so that we can get to know your personality and understand how your business works.

We love working with fellow entrepreneurs who are passionate about their work and excited about future growth. Even when we have clients in similar industries, they all have a unique story to tell, and it's our job to help them communicate it compellingly. Every day at our office is different and challenging!

In 2012, we realized that there was a gap in the marketplace that prevented small businesses from accessing typical "big branding agency" quality services needed to grow in a way that respected their entrepreneurial spirit. Tired of seeing innovative companies utilize stock design or well-intentioned but failed attempts at DIY solutions, we opened our doors and started putting our designers to work. In just over six years, our team has grown to include designers, writers, web designers, project managers, and strategists. We pride ourselves on authenticity: we will never make our work seem more mysterious than it is and we believe in helping our clients to take a similar level of ownership in the brand strategies we create. Our communication style is open, collaborative, and meant to empower your business.

Services

Adaptable, modern designs set your brand up for success in the modern marketplace. Technology has given your place new spaces to perform in. Our process distills our industry knowledge and the research we conduct on your industry into designs that are meant to perform in the space your brand will be. We provide all brand assets and a complete brand guide in conclusion because your brand needs a foundation.

We use Squarespace to build responsive websites with easy-to-manage features. The platform removes the ambiguity, and antiquated difficulties of building a website by offering a robust what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) interface and pragmatic library of native features. It’s an honest solution for your brand because you live in the real world and deserve transparent web design and management.

We create on brand marketing material developed to meet your goals and tailored to your audience. Then we take care of publishing the content online, and listening to - and responding - to your audience. We build impressions and engagement to increase the value of your brand. Putting your social media in our hands takes a lot of your daily plate so that you can focus on other areas of your business because you have better things to do.

Strategic communications are the key to calling attention to your brand. We use a mix of traditional and non-traditional media sources to get your message out into the world. The world needs to know what you have to offer and why you’re the best at what you do. We can scale our PR services for your brand in whatever way you need because none of it matters if no one is paying attention.
