    Big ideas

    FOR THE SMALL TOWN



  • What we do

    We're creative consultants who specialize in idea generation for small businesses.

    Idea generation and brainstorming.

    Solving old problems with new ideas.
    ..................................................................
    We meet with you. You tell us your problem. We research. We scribble in our notepads. We brainstorm. We generate ideas with you and/or for you, your business or your project. We vett those ideas until we uncover The One. We bring a new perspective to you. We do all the thinking so you can focus on the other important parts of your business. We step back. You take all the credit.

    Let's have coffee.

    We're buying.
    ..................................................................
    Are you looking for advice? Need ideas for an awesome event? Thinking about a retail makeover? Are you plum out of creative ideas? Let us buy you a coffee and leave you inspired. Drop us a line and we'll set it up.
  • WHO WE ARE

     

    Emily Arbour

    Queen of Copy
    Emily's inability to turn a blind eye to a creative venture is both her biggest character flaw and her greatest strength. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Emily has a knack for looking at business problems from entirely new angles, and finding the solution.

    A well-known face on the Almonte scene, you may recognize her as advice columnist Miss Write in the local arts community newpaper the Humm and as co-founder of the wildly successful Handmade Harvest Craft Show.
     
    Emily's most recent endeavour is a new handmade-centric gift shop called Hello Yellow which will open its doors in downtown Almonte in July 2013.

    Dan Fallak

    Chief Idea Officer
    Dan is the 4th generation in his family to run a business in Almonte, so his roots are planted deeply in this small town. 
     
    A self described ideator and disruptive thinker, Dan has over 10 years experience working in marketing and advertising. He recently left his cushy desk job in the government to pursue the life of an entrepreneur.
     
    You may recognize Dan as the founder of VersaTile, a home decor and image transfer company he runs out of his home in Almonte.
     
    Dan's most recent project is a new company called WoodPosters, that allows customers to print their favourite photographs directly onto maple wood canvases.
