SANDFLY MARKETING #12 941 South Railway St. SE Medicine Hat, AB T1A 2W3


PH: 403.548.2963 www.sandflymarketing.ca


full service marketing company that creates the buzz needed to take any business or organization to the next level is synonymous with two words … Sandfly Marketing.


Over the years, the creative team at Sandfly Marketing has successfully adapted to changing times and is continuing to grow as it approaches its 15th birthday.


Myrna Stark founded the company in September of 2004. Since then Sandfly Marketing has grown and continues to serve Medicine Hat in a number of ways.


“We’re a full marketing firm,” said Stark. “Anything from creating logos and brand development – even starting with people from scratch with their name and figuring out their brand identity with them.


“We can sit down with people and figure all of these things out, come up with a strategy, do graphic design work, do social media – we’re even offering portable signage.”

Like many in the city, Stark is originally from Saskatchewan and spent time studying her undergrad in Calgary before finishing a Masters in marketing at University of Phoenix. She says she is proud of the services her company provides.


“We have an amazing team here,” she said. “What we do is possible because of the talented people working at Sandfly who help to make us our best.


“We have people working for us who can do everything – they don’t just specialize in one thing.”


Stark says the organization does what it can to stand out from the rest.


The creative process begins with a discovery meeting where future goals and company direction are delved into. Next the team comes together to develop strategies to help companies reach their target audience. Innovative design leads to draft presentations and client proofs. Once the approval is given by the client, the Sandfly team rolls out the new campaign. “What makes us unique is that we’re not just designers and we’re not just marketers – we have a team who can give our clients that extra edge,” she said. “We like to be cutting edge. We like to be modern and keeping up and with each client we can determine what suits them best and what needs they have.”


Stark says it has been a joy to watch Sandfly grow over the years. In the early years, design and logo work was outsourced. As contracts came in and the business world demanded a more comprehensive marketing package designers and web builders we brought in on staff.


“Back in 2004 there wasn’t a lot of website building going on but since then the digital side of things has come so far that we’ve adapted with the times and we continue to work to be our best.”
