Great Storytelling Begins Here

Montreal Marketeers
I’m always fascinated by brands that have a great story to tell. Understanding where it all started and how a company became a brand and got to where they are today. Not only does it shape how the brand is perceived by the market, but it also plays a role in determining the culture that drives their growth and success.
Most success stories wouldn't see the light of day without perseverance and dedication. Creating a winning brand isn't easy, that's what makes it an interesting story to tell.

He would often get shut down by people that insisted that he would never cut their hair. Regardless, Will push ahead and eventually gained their respect and business. The struggles become even more real when his first shop was fire bombed. But once again, he didn't let it get to him and quickly started a new shop without ever looking back.
