oratorio

The cornerstone to any community is communication between all citizens. That is why we support local and regional charities that give a voice to those who have difficulty speaking for themselves. As you can guess, community is something we hold very dear. That is why we strive to always produce community minded work at a fair rate or by donation.

Some key community projects that Maurissa Hunter Marketing has and/or continues to support include:

Haldimand-Norfolk Women's Services
United Way St. Catharines
Lincoln County Humane Society
Simcoe and District Humane Society
Text So Teens Can Talk
F.E.A.T. for Children
Good Idea! Theatre
Soutwestern Ontario Salvation Army
Windsor-Essex United Way
Port Dover Steelheads

Not only do I have 5 years of technical and creative experience, I am young, stylistically up to date and eager to adapt to the needs of your company. I am used to working in a high-paced and professional environment and as a result am able to work with short deadlines.

I have an excellent eye for detail, and take pride in providing my clients with a high-quality transferrable final product that we both are happy with.

Furthermore, I regard each project as a new challenged as as a means to break personal and industrial boundaries. To me, each company's branding needs are puzzles, to which there is not just one solution but, rather, a plentitude. However, to me there is only one RIGHT solution, and that is the one that has the most accessibility and meets the needs of my clients most efficiently.

My creative vision centers around simplicity.
I believe that the most simplistic designs, applications and advertisements are often the most effective.
To me simplistic doesn't mean bland but rather refined, smooth, straight to the point and accurate. In web design simplicity means easy navigation, the kind of navigation that never requires a user to go back. In graphics that means logos that are readable and simple - therefore accessible and recognizable.
I believe this simplicity is needed in our modern day in age, as there already are so many images and messages in circulation. Simplicity takes your company out of the clutter and puts you straight in the minds of your customers
