ABOUT US
a writer and a photographer walk into a bar…
Total strangers brought together by the Newmarket Business Association, we found ourselves hatching collaboration plans after just a couple of drinks, some french fries, and fried Oreos.
Food is the way to both our hearts so it's not a surprise we connected instantly. But at the time, we had no idea where our collaboration would lead.
We were a Copywriter + Marketing Strategist (Amy) and a Photographer + Brand Strategist (Melissa) — we had big ideas and we liked hanging out.
So we decided to do some stuff.
We planned one workshop. Then another. Then we did a joint project. Then another. Then we created a joint brand. Then rebranded instantly and became You're A Big Deal.
It was not our initial intention to create a business together but in turning our own ideas into action, we saw our co-creative, complementary skills doing some serious magic in the world. And we still liked hanging out so we kept going.
And really, that's still our approach to everything we do:
Just do something.
Pick a small thing. Start somewhere and see where it goes. If it stops being fulfilling, STOP DOING IT.
There isn't one right way to build a business or live your life. We're here to help you find the way that feels most right to you and then provide encouragement and accountability so you stick with it!
We’ll never tell you to do something just because it’s trendy and we’ll always move you towards a business + brand that is aligned, impactful, and makes you feel like A BIG DEAL (because you are!).
The world needs your ideas and your magic.
We're really grateful you're here!
