Your business is already a full-time job.

We bring the moving pieces of your marketing together—so people can find your business, choose you, and have reasons to come back.

Your marketing keeps moving. You get back to business.

THAT NEVER-ENDING “I SHOULD” LIST.

Promo FOMO.
Sound familiar?

That marketing monkey on your back.

“I should post more. Send a promotion. Try TikTok.”

Everywhere you look, there’s another thing you feel you should be doing—and you worry what you’re missing when you aren’t.

Let’s put some sense into all of it.

18YEARS ON YOUR SIDE
OF THE COUNTER.

FROM ONE BUSINESS OWNER TO ANOTHER

I speak business owner. And I love marketing.

For 18 years, I owned and operated a brick-and-mortar business in Toronto. I wasn’t providing the services—I was building the brand, doing the marketing, and running the business.

I’ve navigated staffing challenges, recessions, and a pandemic. I know what goes on behind the scenes.

So when you tell me what’s happening in your business, I get it.

That’s the experience I bring to Handle Bar.
