For the first time ever, the Kimp Team has gone completely remote! With the impact of Covid-19 ramping up we didn't want to take chances. After carefully monitoring the news and implementing the recommendations from health authorities, we knew going remote was best for everyone.

Fortunately, we’ve been finding ways to make sure this doesn’t impact workflow. Or the team’s morale. We’re exploring different tools all the time to stay connected and offer our clients additional support.

We did another round of recruitment and hired some great designers to join the Kimp Team. In keeping with our previous hires, our newest designers are skilled in a wide range of print and digital design formats. Kimp family grows beyond the limits of map!

In January, Kimp was featured as a 2020 Clutch Leader in Clutch’s report on leading B2B company in Canada (Clutch is a B2B market research firm that uses a unique ratings methodology to compare and contrast leaders across a wide variety of service industries).

Our amazing clients are the reason we received this recognition. They took time out of their day to engage with Clutch representatives to assess our impact on their operations.

This means a lot to us because our first clients, and some of our longest-running clients, are from Canada. Find out more here: https://go.kimp.io/clutchaward

The Kimp team was thrilled to get profiled in StartUp HERE Toronto: https://go.kimp.io/StartUpHERE Our first year has been full of lessons we’ve learned and making progress toward goals, while supporting clients with theirs. And it’s been a whirlwind. It was great to take some time to pause from the day to day sprints, to chat with Stuart Foxman about all of this.

Another victorious milestone! Today, We at Kimp pass the 15,000 pieces designed for our clients. These design pieces include digital designs, print designs and many other unique projects.
No matter how hard the times have become, we at Kimp will always be ready, willing and able to provide the designs needs of our clients.

By August 2019, clients using Kimp came from countries across the world, including Canada, U.S.A., Ireland, Switzerland, UK, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia.

They included entrepreneurs, non-profit organizations, SMBs and marketing agencies. We are pumped to support clients in different industries around the world, and learn about their unique needs, as well as their similarities.

Our clients are based around the world but we had started Kimp off with all our teams working on one time zone. This just didn’t serve our clients’ needs as well as we wanted. So, we revamped, and had our teams start to work on different shifts so that they could be better aligned with clients’ workflows.

It’s been working out really well, and allowing for more collaboration and better communications between clients and their teams.

For years (since 2003), we’ve explored different business models for offering design services. After the real estate market got rocky in Canada in 2018, a lot of our clients who worked within it had to scale back on design, so we looked to restructure.

We had an incredible, hard-working team. And we knew that there were still so many other industries that needed ongoing design services. It was a tough year, but we tried a few different models, and then decided that productized design was the best way for us to make our services accessible to clients across industries. So Kimp came to life :)
