Todd Fraser, managing director of Tandem Marketing Design, has successfully worked with several clients over long periods of time, such as Remington Development. Tandem completed another attractively-designed corporate profile for Remington, a company that has been a fixture in the Alberta development industry for decades.
Another long-standing client is Enright Capital Partners which is completing its Airport Crossing development and progressing with its Plains 68 project to build two office/warehouse buildings in Great Plains Industrial Park in the southeast quadrant.
Tandem recently began working with Rockford Group on the homebuilder’s development of Tuscan Rise, a town-home project in the northwest community of Tuscany. It includes 82 two- and three-bedroom residences just minutes from the LRT station; an amenity the agency is promoting along with its quick access to K-Country and Banff with the community’s tag line, Life is Right Here.
A couple of other client gains in the development industry are Calgary’s Centron which is promoting its Chinook 58 – on the busy 58th Avenue SE – as 100,000 square feet of retail, retail showroom and commercial buildings. And for Chicago-headquartered Verus Partners, Fraser and his team are developing a new web platform for the company as it develops industrial and suburban projects in key U.S. and Canadian markets. It recently completed the Magellan Aerospace project in Toronto and in the Calgary area, the 24-acre Rockyview Business Park at the intersection of Dwight McLellan Trail and Crossiron Drive.

Several Calgary creative agencies are busy but could always do with more work, and others are hurting a little. So, it was disheartening to learn that after responding to an RFP from Canmore/Kananaskis, local firms were told the work had been awarded to a company in Nova Scotia. Really!
