Achim Klor

President

 

I started my career as a graphic designer after receiving an Associate Degree in Graphic and Visual Design from Kwantlen University College at the end of 1987. I worked at BC Business Magazine, BC Tel (now Telus), Laser's Edge, and GE Capitial IT Solutions (now CompuCom) in various print design, web design, user interface and marketing related positions. I had the good fortune of learning the trade before the desktop Mac and PC (ie, lots of wax and chemicals) and before the Internet. Technology keeps changing the way we communicate but the guiding principals of communication never change.

 

In 2000, I left my cubical and co-founded SterlingKlor with one simple objective: to simplify the complex and work hard to help our clients achieve market success with no-nonsense business strategies and creative solutions that resonate. I made a ton of mistakes but I learned valuable lessons from each and every one of them. What started out as a consultancy has become a business marketing agency that serves many companies across Canada and the US.
