Hello

Convinced that caffeine,

co-operation and camaraderie bring out the best in people, Blueprint is home to great coffee, creative work spaces and epic ping-pong tournaments.

From our home in Paris, ON, we partner with clients across Ontario and beyond to develop solutions that integrate great design with powerful technologies. Each client is unique, and we love the challenge of identifying the strategies and tools that bring their vision to life. Since 1997, we’ve been delivering results that work as good as they look.

 

Our passion is developing the strategy and giving you the tools you need to stand out. Give us a call and let’s talk about what you want to do. And when these strange days of social distancing are over, we’d love to have that conversation over a cup of coffee.

SECTORS WE SERVE

 

We’ve been offering strategic marketing services for more than 20 years and over that time we’ve been able to work with small mom-and-pop retail outlets, integrated public service organizations, large international publishing houses and everything in between.

 

We are proud of our partnership with many community organizations, including non-profits and social services providers. We also have extensive experience in the public sector and have worked with clients in industries such as:

 


• Healthcare
• Schools & school boards
• Educational leadership
• Wholesale & retail

The true value in working with Blueprint is found in the relationships we build

 

It is through a partnership — based on mutual trust, understanding and respect — that we can develop the services and tools that will exceed your expectations.

 

You know your business. We know ours. When we work together, we will create something that is far greater than what we could do on own.

PHIL ANGUELOV

Developer

 

Phil joined Blueprint Agencies in the fall of 2021. With a degree in Computer Science from the University of Guelph, he helps clients develop effective solutions for their programming requirements.

 

Phil lives and breathes this stuff-- in his spare time he enjoys tinkering with embedded systems, such as RPI, home media servers and VPNs for his friends.

 

When not fiddling with computers, he indulges his love of science fiction books and being swarmed by his two Jack Russel pups. Phil is not only a great developer, he brings the added bonus of being a great coffee roaster.

RICK STEWART

Accounting

 

Rick's background has been in the mining industry as well as various school boards with more than 35 years in accounting in Northern Ontario. He has recently relocated to Paris to be closer to his family, enjoying the longer summers and less snow!

 

When not on the golf course or at the curling rink, Rick looks forward to spending time with his grandchildren.

AAD VERMEYDEN

James Morsink

Junior Business Systems Analyst

 

James recently completed an Honours degree in Economics with a Management Option at Wilfrid Laurier University.

 

As part of his studies, he gained valuable experience through co-op placements in manufacturing, finance and consumer packaging. Those classroom and experiential aspects allowed him to develop and put into practice analytical and problem-solving skills. He credits his time working at a local golf course for developing his excellent organizational and customer service skills (but we suspect he was just in it for the free rounds of golf).

 

James’ work at Blueprint focusses mostly on helping clients use database and web applications that increase efficiency

 

In his free time, you can find James on the golf course (rain or shine!), or playing pickup basketball. And when the weather is finally cold enough to put the clubs away, he turns to pond hockey with friends.
