Hi, I'm Nicole
A designer and marketer at heart, and a strategist at my core. I love to express my creative spirit by crafting with my kids and cooking in the kitchen. My bucket is often filled by attending concerts of any magnitude, be it a small show at a local pub, or a full-out stadium tour. My latest venture is tapping the maple trees in our backyard and learning (via YouTube and Facebook groups) how to home-craft maple syrup!
My Story
Born and raised in Sarnia, I was involved in the theatre groups from a young age, being one of the first ever attendees of the Hidden Talents camp and the Nightingale Choir. I was very involved with local Sarnia small business early on, working at Blackwater Café from the ages of 15-19.
After high-school I moved to London to attend the Graphic Design program at Fanshawe College, and after graduating college, I moved to Canmore, AB to explore a new part of the country. While living in Canmore, I started my career in Marketing & Graphic Design as a coordinator for a small boutique agency working with major brands like Domino’s Pizza Canada and Warner Bros Pictures.
After living in Alberta for a couple years, we made the decision to move back to Ontario and eventually landed in the Greater Toronto Area. While living in the GTA, I built upon my experience in both graphic design and marketing, working with brands such as Conair Consumer Products, Joe Fresh, Loblaws, Shoppers Drug, Walmart, Target and Weston Bakeries.
I have a passion for design, marketing, and brand growth, and therefore I decided to expand my education further by completing the Brand Management program at The University of Toronto, and the Social Media Management certificate program through Hubspot Academy.
Combining all my experience and education I understand the challenges business face, whether it be small local companies or large national brands. I have the drive, determination, and knowhow to understand your business, strategize, and execute multi-level marketing plans and find ideas that really stick.
Hi, I'm Kyle
A dreamer, marketer, and hospitality enthusiast through and through. In my spare time, you will find me putting around the yard and exploring my newfound passion for gardening or crafting and hunting for my next dad joke. Very much like Nicole, my bucket is often filled by attending concerts – pick one and I likely won’t say no!
My Story
Born and raised in Sarnia I was heavily involved in Sarnia Little Theatre on-stage and behind the curtain. It was through this experience that I realized I had a passion for behind-the-scenes chaos while delivering a seamless and smooth show. Growing up and trying to find that in a career I turned to the hospitality industry – and if you know, you know.
After graduating from high school, I was off to London where I took the Hotel Management course at Fanshawe College. Once that was complete, I then headed out west to live in the Rocky Mountains of Canmore, AB – here I continued to work in the hospitality industry in various roles and spent time as an assistant deli manager at a national grocery store.
After living in Alberta for a couple of years we moved to the GTA and I went back to school – this time for the Advertising and Communications program at Sheridan. Since graduating from Sheridan, my career in the hospitality industry has continued to grow, but now it was combining my love of marketing with my passion for hospitality.
Combining my education and experience has taken me on a journey of working for some of Canada’s largest hotel brands, restaurant brands and grocers. With this experience I understand the value of the customer and how even the smallest changes can impact them, and how to deliver an inspiring and compelling story while achieving results using ideas that really stick.
