WE BELIEVE YOU SHOULD GIVE your business the design and communication
expertise and experience it really deserves. And
as an aspiring home-based small business owner in the professional
service sector, who has ambitions, this is key to your
success.
The work we've previously done for our clients often ended
up on the web first, hence why we get the reputation as web designers
over the other disciplines we offer. The simple truth is, by
drawing from our 20+ years of experience in the Advertising and
Communications world, we can advance your business in a holistic
fashion; from re-energizing your brand identity; to creating
original, engaging print and web solutions; to the strategic
design materials you require advance your goals -- all designed
to project the credibility and desire of your business to your
prospects.
Due, in part, to our love of travel in Europe (France, Italy,
Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain) over
the decades, much of our work takes inspiration from design elements
we've seen through architecture, landscaping, historic artifacts,
museums, art galleries, etc. Exclusive travel in these locations
via public transit is also a complete eye-opener. And, as consummate
visual communicators, we are always looking for unique design
presentations so you can stand out, in good taste from your competition
-- always with an eye to enticing your prospects to act.
Think about it. Wouldn't this expertise be a great advantage
for your business? Why not put this knowledge
to work for you? We invite you to contact us to arrange a time to meet. We're
confident you'll be glad you did.

C.M. Läspä: -- The Person
Principal & Creative Director |
|
|
SINCE 1978, Christopher has dedicated a major proportion of
his Creative career to Advertising, Design, and Corporate Marketing
& Communications overseeing and/or creating Print and Web
solutions. He has spent 20+ years in the downtown Toronto Advertising
Agency community holding a variety of positions that include
Senior Art Director and Creative Director, creating and overseeing
successful national advertising campaigns and collateral materials
for prolific clients in a wide range of business categories.
Christopher has extensive in-depth, hands-on experience with
Consumer (B2C), Dealer, Channel, and Business-to-Business (B2B)
advertising campaigns. A full list of clients served is below.
Since the early commercial beginnings of the Internet
in 1995, Christopher has been involved with the B2B/B2C marketing
aspect of web design, spearheading several successful ground
breaking international Corporate web-based initiatives for such
firms as WHERE Magazines International and Teknion Furniture
Systems in Canada and the U.S.A.
Christopher opened 999 Art Direction originally in 1991 as
a freelance 'rapid-response' creative resource to Toronto advertising
agencies. In 2003, he re-opened 999 Art Direction on a full-time
basis with the sole intent of helping established Small Office/Home
Office (SoHo) business owners (often of 'one') obtain the unique
communication advantage and insight that is usually reserved
for national clients with large enough budgets to retain a large
downtown advertising agency or design firm. Christopher believes
it only fair that Small Business have this insight too -- at
a level (and fee) scaled to accommodate their specific needs.
Christopher is an ideal design resource for small businesses
to draw upon, as he is far more than just another 'web designer'
in Toronto -- he has experienced, countless numbers of unique
Print and Web Marketing / Advertising scenarios within the Consumer,
Corporate and B2B/C realm.
And when Christopher isn't doing his 'design magic',
he can be found engaged in the historic study of late 17th/early
18th century baroque woodwind music for the one-keyed
Baroque Flute--a passion of his for the last 35+ years that has
been fed through his love for European travel over the last number
of decades. Christopher also spent the better part of a decade
taking personal instruction in French Baroque Interpretive Performance
Style at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.
