Small businesses needed a big boost during the pandemic. That's one reason why Meta launched the Good Ideas Shop, a shoppable window display that celebrated local small businesses and the good ideas behind them around the world, including in Ottawa’s historic ByWard Market.
In addition to building the physical activation, we also launched a digital campaign to raise awareness of Meta's free tools which help small businesses grow, including Shops, Meta Business Suite, and our virtual trainings.

Instagram Stories is more than a cultural phenomenon. It’s a platform that empowers businesses of all sizes to get creative and deliver real business results.
We built the Stories Can Do It installation to help demonstrate the value of this game-changing platform. Constructed at Facebook's HQ in Menlo Park, the installation was a fully operational Instagram Story, complete with mechanical stickers.
Behind each sticker, we included facts and strategies for how marketers can use Stories to connect with their audiences and build their brands.
Instagram Stories Can Do It: Taking Stories out of the phone and into real life. This installation was built at Facebook HQ to help partners see the value Stories can bring to their business.
