“One minute I was meeting with Original Ginger for coffee and the next my dreams were coming true right before my very eyes! When starting my new life coaching practice, I knew I needed to up my game and get working on a brand that aligned with who I am and what I do. I now have a website, logo, professional photos and a marketing plan for my new business that I could not be more proud of. We worked collaboratively, they kept me accountable and on track, and the end result was everything I could have ever wanted and more.
OG will continue to be my first and only choice for brand development and marketing, and I owe them a huge thank you for taking the vision in my head, and bringing it to life. You guys are amazing!“
– Cher Duyzer, Living Well

Is your brand inspiring? More importantly, is it inspiring YOU and your team?
If your brand no longer inspires you, it won’t drive you. That could be why sales lag and time drags. It also won’t inspire your team to perform at their best.
If you’re feeling more tired than inspired, change should be on the horizon and we can help with that.
Our collaborative Brand Discovery can get you fired up about your brand, infuse new ideas for further business growth and will reenergize your team!

Go beyond just a shopping cart. Shoppable Online Catalogues are like Ecommerce with a twist 🥨! Curious??

There are all sorts of different families (even those who can spray you with their trunk) …
One of our favourite movie quotes that explains this comes from Mrs. Doubtfire:
“Some families have one mommy, some families have one daddy… Some children live with their uncle or aunt. Some live with their grandparents… And some live in different areas of the country… But if there's love, dear... those are the ties that bind, poppet…”
So let’s make today a day of connection. Whatever form it takes: a zoom call, Face Time, a driveway greeting, a phone call or time spent in your family “bubble”.
Let’s celebrate the joy of being part of our collective “family” and set aside the time to be together. Maybe watch a favourite movie??
What’s your family’s favourite film to watch together? Share in the comments…

Isn’t it funny how you can have too much of everything but there’s no such thing as too much love?
And this past year, as difficult as it was, made us realize that love has no limits. It can be appreciated anywhere, by anyone: your family, your friends, your neighbours, even strangers…
So let’s make this Valentines Day more universal and share the love with anyone who needs it. Whether that means a kind gesture, a kind word or a simple thank you. Because the world needs it more than ever.
Wishing everyone a love-filled Valentines weekend from the OG Team ❤️
