About us
We all have friends we go to for free professional advice. The contractor friend we consult before taking out a wall during a DIY kitchen remodel or the dermatologist friend on if they think a mole is serious. We’re exactly the same. Think of us as your "marketing friend" — let's grab coffee or hop on a quick call, and you can bounce ideas or share roadblocks you're facing and we can provide a strategic marketing lens.
We're fierce advocates for you and your business and we cut to the chase with no B.S.

Why we started the small b project
the Small B Project was founded out of concern for small businesses, which needed marketing and advertising support following 2020’s pandemic smackdown. Headlines in local media were negative, community initiatives were rolling in, and grants seemed biased. With an abundance of resources available, finding the right info was like finding a needle in a haystack, and nothing was geared specifically toward marketing and advertising.
We gathered passionate Ballard professionals who were interested in volunteering their time to help keep our neighborhood’s small businesses alive and able to thrive into 2021 and beyond.
