Smart Options
SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
We loved working for this local business that’s out here making a real difference! Their brand, website, and strategy needed a revamp, and we were all over it.
“The whole Pepper team was amazing to work with and I learned so much from them. Pepper made the rebranding process stress free and fun. I feel more confident in and proud of my brand after working with them. Not only is the Pepper team knowledgeable and skilled, but they also have a great workplace culture, and their services feel personal and genuine. Working with Pepper inspired me and their positive energy and passion was contagious!”

The Stir
KAMLOOPS FOOD HUB
The Stir is a new community in Kamloops all about local food made by local people! We had the opportunity to start from scratch (pun intended) on this branding project, and had so much fun creating it.
“Can’t say enough goodness about the Pepper team! They launched into our brand development project with loads of enthusiasm. Their streamlined process allowed us to easily give our input without much time commitment on our end and they quickly came back with assets that totally fit the bill. Pepper gladly let us make our little tweaks on colour and font until we were totally satisfied with the designs. Every member of the Pepper team was a pleasure to work with. 11/10 would recommend Pepper to any busy organization or entrepreneur that needs high quality creative work done fast!”

”I have loved (and continue to love!) working with Pepper. Their expertise has helped me narrow down my vision for my brand and has brought that vision to life. I am super appreciative of both their willingness to make suggestions from their place of expertise and to roll with my ideas. It’s a pleasure to work alongside them – as a single person entrepreneur, Pepper makes me feel like I have a whole team on my side!”

Sapien Integrative Wellness
KAMLOOPS ACUPUNCTURE
After completing his education as an acupuncturist, Michael Hanes was ready to build his very own brand—and we had a blast helping him do just that!
“Working with the Pepper team was a first-class experience. When the customer (myself) had a change of heart in where the design was going, their ability to pivot and go in a new direction was as easy as flicking a switch. Book in a call to discuss potential projects with them and their passion for creation and collaboration will have you hooked, lined and sinkered.”
