We are a mobile app that helps connect local businesses to local consumers and with the goal of making it easier and more rewarding for people to support local businesses.

We are looking for a team to help us reach out to the University Student population within Halifax to educate and inform them about the free mobile app and encourage them to use the platform to discover and support local offers, events and experiences.

We will be focusing on Students as we feel this is a consumer group who will greatly benefit from the platform (free app, easy to use, help learn about a new city, discover, places to go and things to do in Halifax, save money while supporting local) We will look to engage this demographic through various means; digital, print/traditional media and face to face.

We are looking for a team of creative outgoing individuals who will help us find unique ways to communicate and engage with students and will help drive our target of increasing our consumer adoption rate within the HRM.
