Welcome!

TOUCH Marketing Inc. was started in Vancouver by Hector and Virginia Bremner.  Initially TOUCH serviced the tourism and hospitality industry with its proprietary print marketing platform, the CityKey.  This new company, with its never-heard-of-before product quickly became recognized as one of Vancouver’s rising stars.

A mixture of modern techniques such as social media, guerilla marketing and powerful networking quickly achieved success with the CityKey. The CityKey became such a success that in 2008, the HSBC Celebration of Light asked TOUCH to develop a specialized version of the CityKey. The product was to facilitate better communication with the public, plus, offer new revenue streams for the Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society that put on the event.

50,000 HSBC Celebration of Light Spectator Guides by TOUCH Marketing were distributed in HSBC Branches, Lower Mainland London Drugs locations, Tourism Vancouver Info Centers, YVR and Starlight Casino.  25 local businesses including Grand & Toy, Targus and Rocky Mountaineer/Whistler Mountaineer took part as sponsors.

Later in 2008, after requests from the restaurant and retail community in Yaletown, a new vision for the CityKey was developed that would see it transformed into a direct mail piece.  Every 90 days, 5000 Yaletown CityKey’s were distributed with 12 to 14 advertisers offering unique incentives to Yaletown residents.

Today, TOUCH continues its success in developing unique and innovative strategies for new products through consultation and project management. Over the past year, TOUCH has consulted on business development for companies such as Eaveswood Colour  – A successful print firm based in the UK, expanding into British Columbia.  Also, TOUCH was a part of a team that developed new strategic planning and implemented new systems for the Vancouver Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer Collection this past November.

TOUCH has also been very successful in the events promotion arena.  What started as a smart way to market TOUCH to clients became a sought after series of co-sponsored networking events.  Thousands of dollars in prizes have been given away and sponsors have included the Vancouver Board of Trade, The Vancouver Art Gallery, ZipCar, Holt Renfrew, Nationwide window and floors, Raw Canvas, the BC Lions, CRUSH Nightclub, The Streamline Group, DBD Construction, plus more!
