Phil’s mission is quite simple: deliver quality design solutions and communication tools that best serve your needs, budget and deadline – no ego, no hassle, no stress.
Our History
In Phil’s case, “history” is more like “her-story”.
Kim Fuller, owner and & non-profit marketing specialist had been working in design & communications for many years with small start-ups and businesses, before Phil ever saw the light of day. As an entrepreneur Kim had first-hand experience building businesses from the ground up. The experience she gained working with start-ups became very valuable when she began working with non-profit organizations.
In her late teens and early twenties, she volunteered for a few local charities. In university and early in her career as a graphic designer she lent her “talents” to many non-profits who needed a hand with their advertising or event promotions. Before she knew it, in ten years she had gone from a graphic designer with a bit of business know-how, to a driven business woman hungry for knowledge!
Philanthropy became a passion: reading books, visiting countless websites, attending seminars and conferences… Everything and anything to gain a better understanding of marketing, communications, and non-profits. It became clear that her purpose was to take all this information and pass it along to those who needed it most: Phil’s clients.
Towards 2002, Kim became more and more interested in the way non-profits operated. She felt there had to be a better way for groups of dedicated individuals to grow their organizations (grow their funding, grow awareness for their cause, grow their reach).
So much potential yet so few resources…
With the support of her colleagues and co-workers Kim decided that she and her team should fill that void, by doing what they do best, so that others could do their best.
Phil Communications started quietly in 2003, as a division of IDG Communications Inc. (founded in 1999). Today, Phil proudly collaborates with non-profit and community-oriented clients across Canada, in the United States and even in Bermuda! From local daycares, to cultural community events, to province-wide leading fundraising organizations, Phil works with each client to find the best communications solutions possible. Most importantly, without breaking the bank!
