		Flipside Marketing was born out of a partnership between two New Brunswick entrepreneurs with a passion for all things web and a huge vision for how the power of the web could be better harnessed to help local businesses succeed. JACQUES DESJARDINS Jacques Desjardins has been working with web technology since 1999. A graduate of the Interactive Graphic Design program at the Centre for Arts and Technology, Jacques got his career started working for small design and marketing companies in Fredericton, New Brunswick. In 2007, his entrepreneurial ambitions couldn't be held back any longer, so he launched his own design studio called JMEDIA. Jacques worked with small and medium-size businesses and non-profit organizations, helping them establish and improve their online presence by creating for them quality websites. He always keeps up to date on the latest web technologies, so he frequently shared his knowledge with his clients. He quickly discovered how much he enjoyed showing small business owners how making small changes in the way they use the web can have a huge impact on their business. In 2009, Jacques launched a new company, JMAILER, providing email marketing services to his clients. Through his easy-to-use web-based email marketing application, Jacques helped his clients reconnect with their customers by building relationships through email. Jacques provided one-on-one coaching to his clients as well as presentations and group training to show people how to get the most out of email marketing. Jacques is pleased to be able to work with his clients in either English or French. Jacques lives in Quispamsis and is a husband and a father. He could rip up any dance floor with his breakdancing moves, but these days chooses instead to expend his energy hiking, mountain biking, playing hockey and as captain of an Ultimate Frisbee team. DANIEL WHEATON Daniel Wheaton is a self-taught internet guru, who's been dabbling in web design and online marketing since 2000. Daniel's a graduate of the Journalism program at Holland College in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Although he did spend a couple of years working as a newspaper reporter, what he really wanted to do was to see some of the world and then start his own business. So that?s exactly what he did. After a few months of travelling in Europe, Daniel returned to New Brunswick and launched Canuka Web Solutions in 2008, a small web design and hosting company focused on providing affordable website options to local small businesses and non-profit organizations. By offering cost-effective, easy-to-use solutions to his clients, he was able to help them get the internet presence they were looking for even if they didn't have a big budget, strong technical skills or a lot of free time. Daniel lives with his partner in Saint John. He enjoys white water canoeing, mountain biking and snowboarding, but is more likely to be found surfing the web or watching a Netflix movie. He's an officer in the Canadian Forces reserves, where he has worked since 2003 as a member of the Cadet Instructors Cadre. THE PARTNERSHIP During interactive presentations and coaching sessions, Jacques found that his clients were overwhelmed by the idea of taking on internet marketing projects. They thought marketing online would be expensive and time consuming and require a high level of technical skill. Working with his web design clients, Daniel found that more than anything what people were looking for was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful advice. They wanted to know how to get more people to their website, how to interact with people online and how to keep track of the success of their efforts. In 2011, Jacques and Daniel put their heads together to launch Flipside Marketing. By combining their experience, expertise and ambition, they enjoy helping small businesses succeed and grow. Based in Saint John, New Brunswick, Flipside Marketing serves all areas New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
