The Start up Life - Meg Craig Lightning Talk

We are very excited to be hosting the next Mash Up Lab Lightning Talk at the HUB on Thursday,  January 14th,  7pm - 8:30pm ... because it is profiling HUB member and branding genius Meg Craig! Meg has branded the HUB at the last iteration, designed and supported the build of our website, videos ... you name it! She has been supporting small businesses lift off all over the South Shore and we're happy to invite you to hear more of her story ... we asked her to say a few words for this blog, here's what she had to say (followed by the event details):

I’m really honoured to be sitting down with Andrew for the Mashup Lightening talk this Thursday. The decision to move back to N.S., leaving a well paid, highly regarded position in Toronto and starting out on my own from scratch, has indeed been a journey that’s come with both struggle and triumph. 

But it can be done. I'm proof. 

Building a business that puts my values first has opened doors for me to meet and work with some of the most inspiring people I would have never met otherwise. Working one-on-one with small businesses to help find their brand voice through user friendly tools and achievable goals has proven successful time and again.
​
Whether you’re a plumber, a brewmaster, a lawyer or a social entrepreneur there is a place for you here in Nova Scotia and I can help you find it. ​

Register

So, tell me, how exactly does a small-town girl from little 'ol Pictou County get to work with 'A-list' brands like Coca-Cola, Nestle, and Playstation in the big city?

Meg knows ... because she did it.

​After spending 12+ years working with mega-brands in Toronto, Meg set roots back in Nova Scotia and launched SkySail - a unique brand design & communications consultancy that works with established businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs to find their 'brand voice'.

In this Mashup Lab Lightning Talk Meg will share her story of working with some of Toronto's top branding agencies ...and what it took to find the courage to finally step out on her own.
