Who is North Studio?
At North Studio, we live, work and breathe all things web. Our studio is a dynamic environment where ideas abound and talents blend many disciplines, creative and nerdy alike.
It’s our aim to deliver easy-to-maintain, workable solutions for web development, design, followed up with successful Internet marketing campaigns. We are continually pioneering new techniques and approaches to address the ever-changing landscape and demands of web development and online marketing.
We place a great deal of importance on forging long-term and lasting relationships with our clients, partners and team members. Our direct affiliation with Q College provides two key strategic business functions; the teaching staff are all working members within our development agency and therefore provide a real world, hands-on teaching experience; likewise, the pioneering and immersive aspect of the technical training provided at the school provides ongoing professional development to our development team.
North Studio was founded on the basis of creating a positive professional environment that promotes growth of both mind and heart. We wouldn’t be northStudio if we didn’t use our infectious, good natured energy to inspire the best in others.
Founded in May 2000, North Studio is a full service interactive agency with a head office in VIctoria, British Columbia Canada.
