Helping Local Businesses Thrive in a Modern World
We help businesses modernize and create beautiful brands.
Small businesses are evolving — and so are your customers.
Your business is more than just a storefront or a service — it’s a story. Whether it’s the first warm smile when someone walks through your door, the passion behind your product, or the trust you’ve built in your community, these moments are the heartbeat of what you do. But today’s customers — local and online — expect more. They want brands that feel authentic, memorable, and worth talking about.
Now more than ever, it’s essential to present your business in a way that cuts through the noise and connects. That’s where Crate Creative comes in. We capture what makes your business you — and bring it to life through bold design, storytelling, and digital presence that speaks directly to the people you want to reach.
The Crate Business Advantage
Local 50
At Crate Creative, we’re proud to call Northern Ontario home — and we believe in investing in the communities that shape us. That’s why we created Local50, an exclusive program offering 50% off our standard service pricing to businesses that are based in and operate within Northern Ontario. This initiative is designed to make high-quality branding, web design, and marketing support more accessible to the small businesses that fuel our local economy. Whether you're a family-owned shop, a new startup, or a growing service provider, Local50 helps you elevate your business without the barrier of big-agency costs. It's our way of giving back — and building a stronger North, one brand at a time.
What We Do for Local Business
Crate Biz is built for the backbone of our communities — the local business owners, builders, and service providers who keep the world moving. We help you stand out in a crowded market with branding that’s sharp, websites that sell, and content that makes people stop scrolling.
Whether you're starting fresh or reinventing what you’ve built, we create brands people recognize and remember.
Branding (Logo, Colors, Brand Guide)
We craft full brand identities that speak clearly and confidently. From logo design to color palettes and typography, we build a consistent, memorable look — and provide you with a brand guide so everything stays aligned.
Website Design + Development
Your website is often the first impression — so we make it count. We design and build custom sites that are fast, responsive, visually sharp, and easy to update. From booking systems to menus, we tailor it to your business goals.
Social Media Content & Management
We help you show up online with purpose. That means branded posts, reels, stories, and campaigns that match your voice and reach your audience — plus, strategy and scheduling if you need full support.
Print & Promo Materials
From business cards to flyers, signage to packaging — we design all the physical pieces your brand needs to get noticed, shared, and remembered. High-quality files and print-ready formats included.
Photography & Video
Professional visuals matter. We capture your business, products, people, and space in a way that builds trust and tells your story — perfect for websites, social, and marketing use.
Strategy + Consulting
Need help figuring out what’s next? We offer 1-on-1 guidance on brand positioning, marketing strategy, digital tools, and growth opportunities — all tailored to small business realities.
