Our story
The idea for FreshLeaf bubbled beneath the surface long before its debut in 2019. Jennifer Andrews—a scientist by training, marketer by profession—created the company after noticing that scientific businesses consistently faced the same problem: not being able to effectively translate complex subject matter into compelling marketing messaging.
Based in Guelph, Ontario, FreshLeaf is a small but growing marketing consultancy serving STEM-based businesses of all sizes and stages, from start-ups to small and medium-sized enterprises. We serve both the local community and businesses around the world.
We are passionate about helping scientific businesses stand out from the competition and build a strong brand so they can continue to change the world for the better.
