Local marketing support for Outaouais businesses

who want to be seen, understood and chosen.

Chapeau! Marketing supports local businesses who want to better structure their marketing and move forward with greater clarity. Here, each recommendation is designed to respect your pace, your budget and your real objectives, without unnecessary pressure or complexity.

Hi 🖐️ I'm Sarah Graham.

I help local businesses make more aligned decisions, communicate with intention and develop marketing that really makes a difference in their community.

You're already doing a thousand things. Your marketing... is trying to keep up...

Social networks, ideas, tools, recommendations, trends, videos... It goes fast, often TOO FAST.

Many entrepreneurs tell me they'd like to :

  • Know where to put their efforts (and where to stop putting them)
  • Make better decisions sooner
  • Stop improvising
  • Understanding what really works
  • Find a plan that respects their budget and reality

It's normal to be overwhelmed. It happens to more entrepreneurs than you might think. The important thing is to know that, with a bit of structure and the right support, you can move forward much faster and much more serenely!

The Marketing Compass

Your guideline for simpler, more aligned marketing.

Without making a big show of it, the Marketing Compass is the heart of my support. It's a tool of clarity, designed for small local businesses who want a solid plan without falling into endless mandates.

It is divided into two parts:

1. Marketing diagnosis

A complete, neutral and sympathetic look at your company: your positioning, your strengths, your challenges, your current marketing, and what deserves your attention.

2. Strategic plan

A clear, realistic, step-by-step plan, with better defined priorities and follow-up to help you stay aligned.

Ready to finally know what to do... and what to save?

About us

Hats off to those who make our community tick.

Chapeau! Marketing was born of a deep conviction: local businesses deserve marketing that is both strategic and authentic.

After 30 years in the army, more specifically in military strategy, I developed a definite sense of structure, clarity and «getting straight to the point». Then, for five years, I accompanied Outaouais merchants in the field, firmly rooted in their reality.

And one day, I realized something: people came as much for my advice as for my way of making things simple. (Maybe the hat helped too. You can spot me pretty quickly in a room).

Today, I support entrepreneurs with an approach that is both human and strategic. I listen. I clarify. I clarify what needs to be clarified.

And above all, I help you move forward with confidence, one step at a time

Frequently asked questions about Chapeau! Marketing

Frequently asked questions
on Chapeau! Marketing

Do you have any questions? Of course you do. Marketing, especially when it comes to local businesses, often raises the same questions: where to start, what to prioritize, how to invest wisely... and how to know if you're doing the right things.

Here, I've compiled the questions that come up most often in my meetings with Outaouais entrepreneurs.

It's a two-stage strategy: a complete diagnosis to understand your current situation, then a clear, realistic plan to guide your marketing actions. The aim: to help you know what to do, in what order, and why.

Yes, whether you're starting up, growing or going through a period of change, the Marketing Compass adapts to your reality.

It is particularly useful when :

  • you're a bit mixed up in all the ideas

  • you're unsure of the right priorities

  • you want to avoid unnecessary expenses

  • your business is evolving and you want to adjust

No. In fact, it's one of the best times. The Marketing Compass prevents you from going off in all directions, and helps you lay a solid foundation right from the start.

Yes. The aim is not to push you to consume more services, but to help you use them more effectively. your budget where it really counts. A good plan saves you time, money and a lot of trial and error.

No. I don't offer social network management. However, I can help you define what needs to be done, clarify your messages, and direct you to trusted professionals if you need help.

Yes. For the diagnosis: one analysis and validation meeting. For the strategic plan: four follow-up meetings during the year to answer your questions, adjust the plan and help you stay on track.

In general, the diagnosis takes about two weeks after the initial meeting, and the strategic plan, two weeks after the diagnosis. I always keep you clearly informed of deadlines, and I respect them.

If you feel that :

  • you lack direction
  • your ideas go round and round
  • your marketing lacks consistency

you waste time trying out different approaches ... then it's probably the right time.

And if you're not sure, an exploratory meeting is enough to clarify the situation.

Yes, for the Marketing Compass, this is possible remotely. Video services and conferences, on the other hand, depend on logistics and are often held face-to-face.
