Our Story
At Bellwood Creative Studio, we believe every brand has a story worth telling and we know how to make yours impossible to ignore. Based in Cochrane, Alberta, we work with tourism operators, small businesses, non-profits, and food and beverage brands to create marketing that truly connects.
From bold campaigns to scroll-stopping visuals, we mix strategy with creativity to bring your vision to life. We are big on ideas, fueled by good coffee, and driven by the thrill of seeing your brand shine.
At Bellwood Creative, difference is our
design advantage.
We believe creativity thrives when diverse voices lead. Inclusion isn’t part of our checklist, it’s the canvas we build on.
As a design agency rooted in collaboration, we’re committed to cultivating a creative practice that’s welcoming, respectful, and equitable for our team, our clients, and the communities we serve. Our approach to brand storytelling goes beyond visuals, we design with intention and deliver creative marketing services that reflect the many layers of identity, culture, and experience.
Here’s how we keep that commitment alive:
• We collaborate widely: seeking out voices across backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences.
• We level the playing field: making room at the table and ensuring our processes are accessible and fair.
• We keep learning: challenging bias, unlearning patterns, and staying accountable through conversation, critique, and care.
To us, design isn’t neutral. Whether in tourism marketing or small business campaigns, it’s a chance to shape something better. And better always begins with who’s in the room.
