Meet IA Creative
No Nonsense.
The latest marketing trend isn't automatically the right solution.
We built IA Creative around a simple idea: give businesses honest advice, fair pricing, practical solutions, and real results. Every recommendation we make starts with understanding your business, not selling you another service.
Just because something is popular doesn't mean your business needs it.
Every business has different goals, different challenges, and different opportunities. That's why we don't start with solutions. We start with a conversation.
What Sets Us Apart?
Transparency.
We've seen too many businesses paying for services they didn't need or didn't understand. That's why we believe in being upfront about every recommendation we make, what it will accomplish, and whether it's the right investment for your business.
Not every business needs every service.
Knowing the difference is part of our job.
We'll always explain our recommendations, answer your questions, and tell you if we think there's a better approach. Sometimes that means recommending less, not more. We'd rather build a long-term relationship than sell you something you don't actually need.
We don't believe in selling people what we have.
We believe in helping people find what they actually need.
IAN ATKINSON
"Making the Internet Less Ugly, One Website at a Time."
Ian Atkinson has been building websites and solving technical problems for more than 22 years, which means he's watched just about every "next big thing" come and go. The technology changes. The fundamentals don't. Businesses still need websites that work, marketing that makes sense, and someone who knows the difference.
Ian's experience spans custom PHP and MySQL development, CRM systems, directory platforms, custom software, website design and development, managed hosting, technical SEO, Google Ads, automation, and AI-powered business workflows. In recent years, he's expanded into AI workflow automation and custom AI integrations, designing systems that combine automation, structured data, web crawling, and large language models to solve real business problems while keeping human oversight where it matters.
Based in Kelowna, BC, Ian works with businesses across Canada and internationally. Over the years he's partnered with companies in tourism, healthcare, finance, professional services, construction, restoration, manufacturing and e-commerce, helping them build stronger websites, streamline operations, and grow their businesses online. IA Creative has grown entirely through referrals, and many of those original clients are still with him today.
Ian enjoys solving the kinds of technical problems that make other people cry. Whether it's untangling a complicated website, improving search visibility, building custom software, or figuring out how AI can solve a real business challenge, he's happiest when there's a problem worth solving.
Outside of work, travelling the world full time continues to inspire new ideas, new perspectives, and a reminder that there's always something new to learn.
LISA TAYLOR
"People don't connect with a sales pitch. They connect with people."
Lisa believes every business has a story worth telling. The challenge is that most business owners are simply too close to see it or too busy to tell it. Her ability to uncover what makes a business unique, find its voice, and communicate it in a way that feels genuine has become one of IA Creative's biggest strengths.
With a background in finance, sales, business strategy, and coaching, Lisa works closely with business owners to simplify big ideas, solve problems, strengthen their brands, and create marketing that actually sounds like them. Whether she's helping shape the vision for a new website, developing SEO content, refining a brand voice, or coaching a business owner through their next stage of growth, her focus is always the same: helping people communicate with clarity and confidence.
Building lasting relationships with her clients is one of the most rewarding parts of her work. She becomes a trusted sounding board, strategist, and creative partner, helping business owners navigate everything from branding and marketing to growth, leadership, and the challenges that come with running a business.
Her strategic approach complements Ian's technical expertise, bringing together the voice of a brand with the systems that support it.
Outside of work, Lisa is happiest exploring a new country, meeting people from different cultures, and collecting the experiences that continue to shape both her perspective and the way she helps clients see their own businesses.
Good Work Builds Good Relationships
We've never set out to be the biggest agency. We'd rather be the one clients recommend without being asked. The best compliment we can receive isn't an award or a five-star review. It's a client who trusts us enough to recommend us to someone they care about.
That's how IA Creative has grown from day one, and it's still how we prefer to do business.
