I established BNL driven by a passion for local enterprises.

My journey into marketing was unconventional, a divergence from my initial life plans. My roots trace back to university, where the realm of digital influence captured my intrigue. Delving into my Honours thesis, I explored how digital communication shaped relationships among young adults. Psychology, not marketing, was my academic focus. Hindsight illuminates that the seeds of BNL's concept germinated during those university years, a realization that dawned upon me gradually.

My university stint pulled me away from Vancouver, my cherished hometown, leaving me with a deep longing for community connection. Stranded in unfamiliar terrain, it was within the welcoming doors of local small businesses that I found solace. These enterprises exuded something profound - a sense of community.

In my quest for purpose in my mid-20s, a transformative journey to Thailand's Full Moon Island (Koh Phangan) redirected my trajectory dramatically. Although the full story is too long to be shared here in this write-up, this experience was pivotal.

Returning home, the scattered fragments of my path aligned seamlessly. A marketing mentor, impressed by my personal social media content, urged me to share my life and passions through blogging. A subsequent opportunity with a thriving startup, specializing in Facebook Advertising, cemented my professional ascent. These invaluable connections shaped the trajectory leading to the present.

Presently, BNL surpasses my individual efforts, blossoming into a collective of gifted digital creatives, affectionately dubbed my "unicorns". These individuals, drawn to BNL's nurturing environment, bring their unique creative prowess to fruition.

Built on my initial groundwork and fortified by my dedicated team, BNL has evolved into a comprehensive social media marketing agency. Our reach extends to entrepreneurs, small business proprietors, and multinational corporations in both Canada and the U.S. Our capacity to bolster client success expands continually, a testament to our enduring commitment.

Gratitude fills me for this journey, for BNL's growth, and for the continuous opportunities we embrace. With an ever-burgeoning array of services, I'm excited for what the future holds.

I am excited to connect with all of you who resonate with my write up and would like to learn more. I love story telling and could converse for hours about so many things. I hope that we get to meet soon as I know our paths were meant to cross for a magical reason. Whatever that reason may be is yet to be known but I look forward to when we can find out. 🦄
