History of the company

In 1976, Andrew Schaafsma began creating advertising layouts, packaging and logos from his basement in Waterdown, Ontario. As his business expanded, he partnered with SB&G Advertising before becoming an independently established studio in 1992. Upon forming Andrew Schaafsma & Associates, graphic designer Dino Giudice joined the company in 1993 and helped acquire clients throughout Southern Ontario. The business was sold in 2006 and rebranded as AS (Accurate Solutions) Advertising, where we work humbly alongside many of our original clients, many over 15-years.
