NWC: A Timeline in Twitter

We are sad to announce the painful decision to lay off two hundred employees across Canada. We find ourselves in a highly competitive market which is forcing us to restructure the company. We are looking to the future and are hopeful for new markets.

We are so excited to bring back our Canadian employees who were laid off last December. New markets in #China have us working harder than ever. We are looking forward to having the family back together again. Many thanks to the team for their dedication!
#comeback #NWC #widgets

Sending a warm welcome to our new team members! Our success in #China has been so great we need to #expand. We are so excited to be opening our Regina facility, digging roots in new Canadian soil. We can’t wait to see where we go next!

What a journey.

Fast Fashion

The growth of the “fast fashion” industry has many negative impacts, and it is starting to look like efforts to resolve one problem could just cause others to snowball. It seems like donating unwanted clothing to charities might wash the shopper clean of the guilt of overconsumption, yet do those shoppers know that many charities are bundling up clothes that sit on the racks, and selling them to market vendors overseas? This might not seem so bad, but not only does it conceal and promote Western overconsumption - it inhibits the economies of those overseas markets . Some sceptics of the fast fashion industry say some simple solutions are to buy fewer and better quality products, hold clothing swaps , or to more deeply investigate charities before donating used clothing. It might help fast fashion fans to be aware of the small factors that add up to ultimate overconsumption; and the seemingly irrevocable effects being caused around the world by this industry. $43.6 billion Canadian ...

Poster Prosperity

When Steve Webb started, he was just a poster boy. He was working in the competitive market of nightclub promotion, fighting over space on the streets to advertise events. When Webb saw the potential to market his skills in business and design, he started Metropol, which is now a full service design and print shop. “It occurred to me that we were all spending wasting a lot of money trying to compete for a finite amount of space,” says Webb. “I would fight for equal representation… I would put up a poster on every second cylinder, and everyone would get the same coverage; regardless of how much money they had the ability to spend.” This allowed for a more broad reflection of events in the community such as all ages events, as well as saving promoters the time and money it took to battle over telephone poles. “The city loved the idea, a lot of the individual promoters didn’t,” says Webb. For the first four years he walked the streets putting up posters. Over time and through nego...

Coming Home

Seven weeks ago Chris Palliser started as the co-host of the morning show at Virgin 107.3 FM. Palliser has hopped around several Canadian cities in his radio career, and has finally made it back to his hometown of Victoria. It hasn’t always been easy, but every step along the way has led Palliser to where he is today. “Just like anything, you start small and work your way up,” says Palliser. After graduating from Applied Communication at Camosun College he moved to Fort McMurray, this is a period of time he refers to as “Dark December”. “I left Victoria, it was 12 degrees and raining at the end of November,” says Palliser. “I landed in Fort McMurray, it was minus 32 and dark at 2:30 in the afternoon and I thought what the hell did I just do?”             From Fort McMurray, Palliser moved to Edmonton to work for Joe FM. At 25 years old he moved from Edmonton to Vancouver to work for The Beat 94.5. Palliser was excited to b...
