JOCELYN GRAHAM
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

BadAss Creative has been a valuable asset to Edmonton’s International Beerfest, for nearly a decade.

What I find most impressive and impactful, with respect to their service, is their ability to connect to your business. Over the years, I have hired multiple third-party service providers. To date, none have come close to yielding the positive results that Bad Ass Creative has. Parker is professional, reliable and committed to the achievement of your company goals. Their ability to communicate, listen and execute tasks is exceptional. Furthermore, the diverse nature of their business is one of their best and unique attributes.

There is nothing they cannot do. Year to year, Edmonton’s International Beerfest has an obligation to be innovative. It is a large-scale event that must find creative ways, in which to increase production value. As opposed to struggling with consistent change, Bad Ass creative embraces the challenge and thrives. Overall, I have grown to love, trust and respect Parker and the provisions of Bad Ass Creative. They have successfully mastered the art of minimizing stress for business owner/directors. I would highly recommend their services to anyone
