MARKETING FOR TRADES, MANUFACTURING & SMALL BUSINESS · CANADA

You’ve got 400 job photos on your phone and nothing on your feed.

That’s what we fix.

No marketing department? Good, you don’t need one. We use the photos, the words and the jobs you already have, and turn them into content, brochures and booths that bring work in.

A real job photo: hands, site, mess. No stock.
If any of this sounds like you, we’re the right call.
“I know I should post. I get home at seven and I’m done.”
Someone built us a website in 2019. Nobody’s touched it since.”
“We’ve got a booth booked and nothing to put on the wall.”
“An agency quoted me more than my apprentice costs.”
WHAT WE DO · FOUR THINGS, DONE PROPERLY

Pick the one that’s hurting most. Start there.

You don’t need all four. Most people start with one, see work come in, and add the next.

01
START HERE
Off The Ground

A one-time build so your socials stop looking abandoned. Profiles rewritten, a proper bio, your first month of posts made from the photos you already have, and a simple sheet telling you what to shoot next.

  • Instagram + Facebook + Google Business tidied up
  • First 12 posts, written in your words
  • A one-page shot list for your phone
BEST IF YOU’VE NEVER REALLY STARTED
02
MOST POPULAR
Your Words, Monthly

You send photos to one WhatsApp thread. We handle the rest: posts, captions, carousels, scheduling, and answering the comments so nobody gets ignored. Nothing goes out that doesn’t sound like you.

  • 3 carousels + 2 short videos a week
  • Comments and DMs answered same day
  • A plain-English report once a month
BEST IF YOU HAVE PHOTOS BUT NO TIME
03
PRINT & EVENTS
Show Up Looking Sharp

Everything a customer holds or walks past. Brochures, spec sheets, quote templates, van livery, booth walls and banners, all matching what’s on your feed, because a mismatch is the fastest way to look small.

  • Brochures, line cards & spec sheets
  • Trade show booth, banners, handouts
  • Print-ready files sent straight to your printer
BEST IF YOU SELL FACE TO FACE
04
BEFORE YOU SPEND
Know Who’s Buying

A short, readable piece of research before you spend money guessing. Who’s actually hiring you, what your competitors charge and post, which words your customers use, and where the work is coming from next quarter.

  • Competitor teardown, 5–8 local firms
  • What your customers search and say
  • One page of “do this, not that”
BEST IF YOU’RE ABOUT TO INVEST
What we don’t do: paid ads you can’t measure, follower-buying, AI-written captions, or 12-month contracts. If a month doesn’t earn its keep, you should be able to walk.
EVENTS & TRADE SHOWS

A booth is three weeks of marketing, not one weekend.

Most exhibitors show up, hand out 200 brochures and go home with a stack of business cards nobody follows up. We run the whole arc (before, during and after) so the spend actually turns into quotes.

2–3 WEEKS BEFORE
Fill the booth before you build it
  • “We’ll be at booth 214” carousel and invite posts
  • A one-page landing spot for the QR code
  • DMs to the 20 accounts you actually want to meet
SHOW DAYS
Look like the biggest small company there
  • Booth wall, banners, handouts, name badges
  • Six-word headline readable from 20 feet
  • Stories and photos captured on the floor
THE WEEK AFTER
Where the money actually is
  • Follow-up sequence to everyone you met
  • “What we learned” post, the highest-reach one
  • A month of content cut from the footage

more leads in six months
Automation company · social + website · no new photoshoot, no ad spend

We didn’t hand them a strategy deck. We reordered what they were already producing, wrote it the way their engineers actually talk, and posted it consistently for six months.

That’s the whole method. It works the same for a plumber with two vans as it does for a shop floor with forty people, because in both cases the interesting stuff is already happening. It’s just never getting posted.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps. None of them involve a workshop.

01
A 20-minute call
You talk about the work. We record it. That recording becomes your voice. Literally: we write from your words.
02
We raid your camera roll
You send what you’ve got. Yes, the blurry ones too. There’s usually a month of content in there already.
03
You approve on your phone
One thread, one thumbs up. If it doesn’t sound like you, say so and it changes. No portals to log into.
04
We post and answer
Scheduled, published, comments answered. Once a month you get a page telling you what worked in plain English.

We’re not, if…
You want viral. We’re after the phone ringing, which is slower and considerably more useful.
