Our Work
Peace By Chocolate
"You are a cause, Not a chocolate company."
In early 2016, Canada had the good fortune of meeting the Hadhad family. After hearing their story on the radio and their aspirations to start making chocolate again, our team reached out to lend a marketing hand. The rest is history (literally).

From our Family to Yours: Happy Holidays
Our relationship has been challenging and confusing and fun.
Investing in empathy and working hard to understand each other’s culture has delivered the reward of a lifetime. It’s also taken our work out of this world (again, literally).

Problem & Opportunity
A family of new Syrian Canadians needed to find a way to channel their passion for happiness and peace. Fleeing war-plagued Damascus left them full of new hope, but they left behind so much more. By re-establishing their lost chocolate business here in Canada, they could make people happy, offer personal hope, be an example to their new-found community, and help form personal closure over time.

Results
Look, we’d love to take credit for Peace By Chocolate’s success but that would be disingenuous. The company has succeeded because of their own hard work, their communities’ positive embrace, and a video that went viral. Below are some things we know we impacted directly:

Video is an important component of all marketing endeavours. Creating a compelling video with only a moment’s notice, or on a shoestring budget, can be a fun and exciting challenge.
