Integrated Marketing

New Hirings here, at The Integrated!

2011-01-26T16:13:00.004-05:00

We've hired a couple of great new people, at Integrated Marketing Inc.

Welcome Aboard

Dave Chalmers!!!

Dave... aka Davey-boy... Designer extraordinaire... Chief surgeon on "The Real Estate Update"!

We first hired Davey-boy to be the Lead Designer for The Real Estate Update. He is smart, funny, clever, quick, and has the paper running like water. Way to Go, Davey-boy! We are happy to have you at The Integrated!

Welcome Aboard

Jeff Wilson!!!

Jeff... (not to be confused with current Lead Designer, Jeff)...

is our new WEB Geek, er GUY extraordinaire.

Web people are a different lot. I say that with great affection.

We like to tease Jeff a fair bit. Of course, he doesn't know that. :) Good Times.

If you need it done to a website... Jeff can do it. If Jeff can't do it.. it just can't be done! When we were hiring for this position, we had certain attributes that were necessities. This new person had to be skilled; this person had to be smart; this person had to be completely clueless about whether or not he's being teased.

So far it's worked out well.

Welcome Aboard

Melinda Newark!!!

Melinda is our new Admin/Designer for The Real Estate Publication/Integrated Marketing. She's relatively sane, smart, and generally many good things that will add well to our office staff. What's the saying? Every fool needs a foil? She's our foil. The straightman to our foibles. The right way to our wrong. We're lucky to have Melinda.

Don't get me wrong... she wouldn't fit in here, if she didn't have some questionable characteristics. :) She has just enough of those, to fit in very nicely!

Very nicely indeed.

That's it, for now!

As our slightly larger group moves forward,

we look forward to a lot of new challenges and good times.

We look forward to working with all of our clients... both new and old.

I'll introduce the new tomorrow.

And hey... I'll start introducing each one of our clients here.

I'll include links, and information on who and what they are!

It'll be interesting!

Until then...

The Integrated Family Newsflash!

The youngest in the Integrated family - Dana Joseph Maximillian - son of Gary and Sandra... has some big news we'd like to share. Is it business related? In a way. After all... the two responsible for Dana... are somewhat responsible for the company... so one success can sort of showcase the other's. Yes? :)

The big News? We've had to keep this under wraps for quite awhile. Today, is the first day we've been allowed to talk about this, since he is meeting with the Minister of Education today, here at Queen's Park, and the Ministry has issued the Press Release today. Dana applied to join a special Education committee with the Minister of Education. Not just any old committee. Dana was one of 60 youth from across the Province, who was specially selected from thousands of applications, to sit on s special Minister's Student Advisory Council, with the Minister of Education. These students will sit on this special committee for a year. And during this time, they will have a say with regard to Education in Ontario! It's going to be a great experience for Dana, and we are very proud of him. Congrats, Dana!

Some Folks Have all The Luck

Spring Has Finally Sprung!

As you know, warm weather has found it's way right here to South Western Ontario! What kind of importance does that have for the Advertising Industry, along with it's clients? A very important one, as a matter of fact! This is the time of year where the REAL work begins! The deals are being made fast and furious... people actually begin talking to each other... strategizing... moving and shaking... and planning... I did mention where right? On the Golf Course, of course! You knew that though, didn't you! It's a firmly held belief that hard working Joe's and Josephine's get much more work done, when their play time is taken care of! And nobody golfs more than those in the Advertising and Marketing field... along with their clients! It's a known fact. I'll find the stats for you. Really! Before you know it, there will be a number of pictures of Gary on this very spot, golfing and working hard! Right then. I'll be right back with those stats. Honest!

A lot has been happening here at Integrated marketing! The Team has been busy meeting, creating, building, and moving forward... all in the name of an awesome batch of clients we are happy to be serving. We have finished up the Guelph and Wellington Visitors Guide, and the Community Guide. Both were for the City of Guelph. They took a fair bit of time and concentration, but they were equally well worth the effort... and a joy to do!

We are well on our way with building the new Corporate presence of Terra-Pacific Construction! Terra-Pacific is an exciting venture, located in the beautiful location of Hawaii! Unfortunately, we are accomplishing OUR end of the task, from right here in Guelph. Though we love our city, let's face it... Hawaii!

We are looking forward to working with our new clients... Flowers Canada... as we begin showcasing why Canadian growers set the standard for others to try and meet!

The Team has begun brainstorming and digging into our deep coffee stash (because we all know that coffee stimulates the creative mind), for a brand new venture with both an offline and a Web presence. This is going to be BIG folks! And Integrated Marketing is very excited to be a part of this winning New Adventure!

Meet The Team - The President

2007-07-20T10:26:00.000-04:00

This is one of our features called "Meet The Team". Here we will feature a certain member of the team and you can learn a bit more about the people that you are dealing with here at Integrated Marketing Incorporated.

Our first, is the President of Integrated Marketing Inc., Mr. Gary Roberts. Gary Roberts has been actively involved in the Marketing Industry for the past 20 years, creating advertising and marketing implementation for clients, including Jaylor Fabricating, Carson Reid Homes, CJOY/Magic 106.1 Radio, Terra View Homes, and Pioneer Craftsmen. His firm has won a number of awards for the creative solutions he has offered his clients over the years, including being a mulitple winner of the prestigious “Project of the Year” Award given out annually by the Waterloo Region Homebuilders Association.

In his early years, Gary had vied to pursue a career in radio. He began his Radio career at CJWA in Wawa as an Announcer. He moved on up, to become an Announcer at CFYN in Sault Ste. Marie, but worked in the Sales and Production departments as well. After a number of years spent here, he moved to his current home town of Guelph, Ontario, to work primarily in sales at Magic 106.1/CJOY.

During his radio career, it became apparent that he wanted to move in other directions. He decided to pursue that by attending Sault College of Applied Arts and Technology, in their Advertising Management Program, and and his career choice was made. Through the years Gary has formed a number of ventures. His initial company was Roberts Media, which was a small agency run from his home. After a number of years, he merged his company with some other gentlemen, to form Orchard Design & Communications. After 6 years of growth, Gary has once again branched out onto his own, with the current company... Integrated Marketing Incorporated.

When asked what he likes best about his job, Gary is clear that it is meeting with his clients on a regular basis and providing them with creative solutions for their business. This makes all of the hard work worthwhile. Gary's second passion in life is the game of golf. He plays quite frequently during the summer months and finds the game relaxing. He also spends time with his family and can be found spending his evenings taking it easy in his Lazy Boy chair watching his favourite tv shows, which include the classic All in the Family, The O'Reilly Factor, Dateline and his beloved Golf tournaments. Let's not forget his ridiculous Monday night comedy shows... Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory, just to name a few.

If you enjoy dealing with experience, and prefer honesty, integrity and merit to a fast sales pitch, give Gary a call. You won't be disappointed.
