I'm currently in TRAVEL MODE! ✈️

Yesterday marked two years since I started Hey Niki Creative, and in two days I'm leaving for a month-long vacation to Thailand. What?!

I feel so lucky that I'm able to do this, to take this much time off and feel actually OKAY about it – because this is why I went full-time in my biz!

SO, I will be (mostly) offline until April 11th. You'll see my travel adventures on stories and occasionally in your feeds (thanks ), but you will NOT see me:

🙅🏼‍♀️ Answering DMs
🙅🏼‍♀️ In my inbox
🙅🏼‍♀️ Stressin'

I'll be back in work-mode as of April 11, and booking new clients for April/May onwards. If you want to work together when I return, check out my link in bio (heyniki.ca/linkinbio) to get all your questions answered about my services + pricing, and how to book a call with me.

If you have a specific q, DM me or shoot me an email at [email protected] and I'll get back to you when I'm back in the real world.

See you in April! ✌🏻

My books for April are OPEN!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As many of you know, I'm taking the entire month of March off to travel! So, if you've been thinking of upgrading your photography, branding or website in the spring, let's get it in the books before the end of this month to ensure that we can hit the ground running right away when I get back 🏃🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
April + May are great months to get your business creative updated for those summer promos (even though patio season feels oh so far away...). How would it feel to not have to stress over where your next social post is coming from, or if your website is up to date during that summer rush? ☀️

When it's good, it's great, but when it's bad, it's still pretty bad 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But what makes a "bad" brand?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍕 A brand that lacks consistency – there's different fonts, colours, and styles on each of your customer touchpoints, or is constantly changing
🍕 A brand that lacks cohesion – does your creative style make sense with your product?
🍕 A brand that doesn't appeal to your dream customer
🍕 A brand that you're not excited to show off (and therefore don't)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you resonate with any of these, I can help! Together, we'll create a brand for your business that not only looks good, but is built on strategy – so you know that it also works.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You'll feel so confident to show of your new brand, you might even celebrate with some pizza (even if it's a little mediocre 😉)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Snag a spot in my calendar at heyniki.ca/coffee for a free Brand Clarity Call, and let's get this party started 🍕

As the celebration queen would say, what are you celebrating right now? 🎉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve got a lot to celebrate right now. I’m finally feeling like I’ve GOT this – that I have a handle on what it means to me to be a business owner. I’m learning more and more every day, but I no longer feel like I’m throwing spaghetti at the wall 🍝⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next month, I’ll be celebrating my birthday! November is one of my favourite months, and I want you to join in on the celebrations too! Stay tuned for a juicy contest from me next month – it might be just what you need for that end-of-the-year-push 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What's the ROI on branding? 💰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll admit, branding is hard to quantify. I wish I could tell you that if you invest XX amount with me, you'll definitely, 100% get XX back and more. Like any investment, it requires a bit of trust, and a bit of work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I can't calculate the exact amount of money you'll get back when you invest in professional branding, I can tell you that it will get you:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 More confidence to pitch your business to your dream customers and vendors, leading to more sales⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Clarity on what your branding values actually are, and how they can move your business forward⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 More time to work on moving your business forward vs spending time trying to figure out how to design your next social media post, or training your new staff again on your brand values⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 More vendors and customers reaching out to YOU because you are clearly and cohesively displaying your business values⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is all of this worth to you? How many more customers do you think you can gain? 🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to help you reach your business goals and get more sales by getting you the branding that you love. Let's get started with a free Brand Clarity Call – book at heyniki.ca/clarity ✨

2021 has been a heck of a year, eh?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm gonna be real with you. Over the past few months, my business has been THRIVING. I'm doing work that I'm really loving, I'm connecting and working with my dream clients and hitting my monthly income goals. I'm feeling aligned with what I'm putting out in the world, and how I'm operating my biz. It's an awesome feeling 🤩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Early 2021 Niki did NOT feel like this. She was stuck in burn-out mode, feeling like nothing was working (even though she wasn't reaaally putting herself out there), she wasn't working with the clients she wanted, and she was struggling HARD.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In March, I decided to invest in my business by hiring a business coach (shoutout to the amazing !) I was tired of feeling like I was doing everything alone and having no clue what to do next, and all I really wanted was an expert in my corner.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I won't lie, it was the biggest investment I've made in my biz and it was pretttttty scary. Downright terrifying. 😬⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BUT it was SO worth it. Working with an expert gave me so much clarity and led to where I am now. It also gave me the extra boost of confidence in my own business, as if truly investing in it meant that there was no turning back. It's like, a THING now folks 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is how I want you to feel after investing in your branding. You'll get an expert in your corner to help with all things creative in your biz, someone who wants to see you succeed and your dreams come true!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, what are you waiting for? DM me to get started on that branding you've been craving – you and your business deserve it 😍

10/13/2021

Let's get back to basics: WHAT IS BRANDING?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Basically, branding is the feeling your customers get when they think of your business.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As you know, I like to say that you have a brand whether you invest in it or not. Your customers already have an idea of what your business is about...and it may not be true to what message you actually WANT to be sending. 😬⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you invest in your branding, you get to control that message. You get to show your customers what your business stands for without any extra leg work or guessing games. Plus, you actually reach the customers you WANT, the ones who are so stoked for your food that they keep coming back, and you get to grow that much more. 📈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Investing in branding establishes trust and confidence in your business, not only from your customers but also from your staff, your vendors, and yourself. And when everyone is confident in your business (including yourself!) it explodes 💥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, if you're ready to get that branding you crave, book a Brand Clarity Call with me at heyniki.ca/clarity to get started. I've got some spots open this month!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What are your goals for 2022? ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know, I know, 2021 is still kickin'. But if you're like me, you're thinking ahead to what the new year can bring your business.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe in 2022 you want to finally open that second location. 🏠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or, you want to get your product on shelves in your favourite grocery store. 🛒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or maybe you just want to get more sales by being your community's go-to spot. 🤩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whatever it is, do you think your current branding is aligned with where you want to be a year from now? Can you picture this branding on that second location, on the shelves, or being shared by your community?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If the answer is no, then let's fix it! Let's get you the branding that will help take your business to that next level, whatever it looks like.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How long is the branding process? ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My branding process takes about 8-10 weeks. I know what you may be thinking – Niki, that's heckin' long?! Why does it take so long?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You're right! It is a commitment, but so is investing in strategic branding that is meant to last. I want to make sure that we have enough time together to really get to the core of your brand values and create a brand for you that not only looks amazing, but makes total sense with your business goals and dream customers – the magic formula so the profits will come rollin' in 😎

What's holding you back from investing in your branding? 🍕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a foodpreneur (just recently discovered this phrase, does anyone actually use it? 😅), I'm sure you've heard the scary statistic:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"60% of restaurants fail within the first three years"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..yeah. Rough. And that's from a study from 2015, way before we got a hefty dose of stay-at-home orders and restrictions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ok ok, so this stat is out there. But you went "um nope" and started your food biz despite all that, because you were so passionate about getting your food out to the world, there was no other option.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, you took this big risk to work in what you love...why haven't you invested in your branding yet?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Branding allows you to stand OUT in the highly competitive food market. It allows you to reach your customers in a way that makes them line up out your door for an hour before even trying your food first, and keep coming back after they do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You've done so much already to make sure your products and customer experiences are high quality. Your branding should be too! That way, it'll be a breeze to show your business off and sell those quality products that your customers love. 😍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're ready for craveable branding that gets you results, book a call with me at heyniki.ca/clarity - I'm currently booking new clients for September! 🍕

Want your business to be the top-listed Computer & Electronics Service in Toronto?

Hi there! I’m Niki.

I am a social media marketer & graphic designer from Toronto, Canada. I want to make your business not only look great on the internet, but also connect with your customers and help tell your brand story.

I have a Bachelor of Design from York University/Sheridan College, where I learned the tricks and trades of the graphic design world. I specialize in print design and marketing, but am always open to a wide range of projects.

Working in the so-called “real” world since graduating in 2015, I’ve discovered my secondary passion: social media marketing. I’ve helped develop and grow Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts by creating content strategies, writing captions, collaborating with influencers, organizing and working photoshoots, handling customer comments, building ad strategies, and more.
