BUILDING SPACE CREATORZ
Every brand has a story, and ours? Well, it’s one that started with a shared desire to break free from the ordinary. Space Creatorz was born out of two things: the love of bold, creative marketing and an undeniable urge to do things differently. If you’re new here, let’s rewind a bit and take you through the journey of how Space Creatorz went from a spark of inspiration to the creative powerhouse it is today.
The Beginning: Two Creatorz, One Vision
Back in 2021, we (Janette and Steve) found ourselves at a crossroads. We had both been in marketing for a while, working in corporate environments that looked great on paper but didn’t always feel great in reality. Don’t get us wrong, corporate life has its perks, but we both knew there was something missing. We wanted a place where creativity wasn’t just a buzzword and where the workplace wasn’t a source of daily stress.
After a pandemic pause that left us without work, we decided it was time to create something better. Something that wasn’t afraid to laugh a little, push boundaries, and put life-work harmony above everything else. We wanted a place where clients felt like partners, and creativity was limitless. And just like that, Space Creatorz was born.
The Struggle: Starting a Business Isn’t for the Faint of Heart
Let’s be real: starting a business is like strapping yourself into a roller coaster that you built yourself (without any instruction manual). There were times when we questioned everything. Days when client work piled up, and nights when “work-life balance” felt more like a myth. We were just two people wearing all the hats, marketing strategists, designers, project managers, accountants…you name it.
And then there were the growing pains of figuring out who we were as a brand. We knew we wanted to be cool, bold, and funny, but figuring out how to blend that with our professional services took time. We spent countless hours brainstorming ways to stand out, creating (and scrapping) our first attempts at branding, and learning to trust our gut when it told us to be a little different.
Then, of course, came the financial hurdles. Starting a business isn’t cheap, and investing in tools, systems, and resources was a challenge. We bootstrapped Space Creatorz from day one, which meant no fancy offices or endless budgets, just a whole lot of grit, late nights, and coffee.
The Turning Point: Finding Our Voice and Building a Team
Every business hits a moment when things start to click, and for us, it was when we fully embraced our brand voice. We realized that our clients were drawn to us not just for what we did but for how we did it. We weren’t just another marketing agency, we were a team of Creatorz who weren’t afraid to laugh, try new things, and get a little weird (in the best way).
As we started to attract clients who valued that same vibe, Space Creatorz began to grow. We found our people: ambitious, creative entrepreneurs who were as tired of corporate lingo as we were. With each new client, we fine-tuned our services and our approach, shaping Space Creatorz into a brand that felt right and true to who we were.
And then came the team. Growing from a two-person operation to a full crew of Creatorz was both exciting and terrifying. We were no longer just working for ourselves; we had a team relying on us, and clients who expected results. Hiring the right people was key, and we focused on bringing in folks who shared our passion, our values, and yes, our sense of humour.
The Triumph: Building a Thriving Brand
Today, Space Creatorz is more than just a business. It’s a place where creativity flows, humanity is encouraged, and every day feels like an adventure. We’re proud to say that we’ve built a thriving brand that stands out in a sea of sameness. We’re not just here to deliver results (though we do that, too); we’re here to redefine what it means to work with a marketing agency.
But beyond the fun and the creativity, there’s one thing that keeps us going: our mission to bring life-work harmony to everyone we work with. We’re proof that you can build a successful business without sacrificing your sanity, and we’re committed to helping our clients do the same.
Looking Ahead: The Next Chapter of Space Creatorz
As we continue to grow, our mission stays the same: to create a space where clients, partners, and team members feel empowered, inspired, and just a little more excited about marketing. We’re ready to take on new challenges, push more boundaries, and keep Space Creatorz moving toward even bigger and bolder horizons.
To our clients, team, and everyone who’s been part of our journey so far - THANK YOU. Here’s to the future, the creativity, and the ride we’re all on together. And if you’re new here, welcome aboard. We can’t wait to create something amazing with you.
