FlatCat Sound and Vision - Fierce Communications for You!

Based in Kitchener – Waterloo, FlatCat Sound and Vision is quickly becoming recognized as one of our area’s premiere interactive multimedia and web design providers. Still haven’t heard of us? Please contact us. We'd be happy to get to know you...

Let’s face it, anyone can design a web site or create a CD-ROM. We take it beyond creating and bring your brand / service to life in the digital arena. The trick (and our goal) is conveying your message in a relevant and entertaining instrument. It is about becoming, not intruding. That is, becoming an essential part of your consumer’s life versus another intrusive distraction.

How do we get there? A novel approach which combines honesty, openness and a willingness to work with you seamlessly. Strategic partnerships enjoy success in today’s ever-changing business environment by following these simple principles. To us, this goes beyond words appearing on a screen, more than ‘lip service’; it’s the essence of our business philosophy! Instead of providing you with the status quo, we consider all facets of your business environment before recommending an innovative communication strategy. Sometimes this can result in a simple adjustment to your current executions or it might require breaking down the past and rebuilding for the future.

Our belief in this innovative ideology goes beyond e-commerce and the multimedia disciplines. We attack traditional, above-the-line communication vehicles with the same passion and commitment. Ranging from simple illustrations / graphic design through to complex multi-tiered mass campaigns. We define ourselves by your needs.We define ourselves by your goals.

We feel the most efficient use of your money is the positive results reflected on your balance sheets. Our ‘Virtual Agency’ was born from this line of thinking. It allows you to invest your marketing budget in our ‘intellectual properties’, not physical. This maximizes allocation of resources for effective and efficient service, not spinning wheels. Instead, you pay for the work being done, not room dividers, reception areas and boardrooms. We can be anywhere you need us including your office, events, wired-in and if necessary, poolside in the Bahamas for a sales conference (we are willing to make that sacrifice). This philosophy is in-play from our first conversation, regardless the scope of work involved. Simply put, accomplishing your objectives and beyond is our top priority.

How did this all come about?  We didn’t wake up one day and decide this sounds like a cool job … it is actually the culmination of decades of communications experience. “We’ve been there, done that” and have now formed the ‘ideal’ communications firm that operates by combining the best of entrepreneurial and corporate configurations.
