Entrepreneurs

George W. Bush once claimed the French don’t even have a word for entrepreneur. Lol. Toronto knows better. In fact Toronto is the best environment in North America, if not the world, for young entrepreneurs. Tyrone Lingley, Founder of www.shoes.com (tyronel@shoes.com) has bought in, “We’re from Vancouver. We thought we’d come to the T-dot, or the ‘6’, to introduce ourselves. We’ll be here for 8 weeks”. The marketing strategy is the brainstorm of Michael Pham at Blast Marketing (mike@blastmarketing). It includes coffee truck, stationed on Queen St. opposite the Rivoli, a nearby Pop-up shop and online promotions.
