Meet your creative sidekicksWe’re Emily Sollows and Meghan Doucette, the Founders behind Lemonade Co.
We met as neighbours on Nova Scotia’s South Shore. We discovered we both had an entrepreneurial spirit that started with lemonade stands as kids.
The name Lemonade Co. refers back to our days selling lemonade on the side of the road, trying new things, figuring it out as we go, and being a little rebellious.
Emily SollowsHey there— I’m Emily Sollows (she/her), a writer, strategist, and communications professional with a drive to connect businesses and organizations with their communities.
I lead our ethical marketing strategy projects. With a formal education in community leadership and journalism, and 10+ years of communications experience, I approach projects with creativity and fun.
I'm passionate about helping you develop your unique voice, connect with your community and meet your goals. I want to help highlight the stories of the people, the passion and the work of your business or organization.
Meghan Doucette Hi, I’m Meghan – a brand and website designer who started out in the non-profit world as an Executive Director scrambling to manage an outdated WordPress website and a brand with no strategy behind it.
I saw what happens when you don’t have cohesive design, messaging, and strategy behind your communications — your community doubts your ability to carry out your mission and you loose their support.
Over the last decade, I’ve learned everything about building social impact brand identities and websites that build trust, and attract funders. That’s why I’ve developed my brand identity and website design packages.
My services were created specifically for non-profits, social impact organizations, and campaigns for good. I include everything you need to develop your brand identity and implement it on a show-stopping website. I give you the visuals that connect with your community and show off your important work.
If your org’s lack of brand cohesion and outdated website are keeping you up at night, let’s work together to create the tools you need to grow your impact.
what we stand forLemonade Co is a queer, neurodivergent, women-owned business. We reject hustle culture and approach our client relationships with grace and understanding.
We are conscientious of our environmental impact. We travel by bike instead of car when we can, we reduce waste as much as possible, and we use energy efficient heating sources in our homes (which double as our offices). We believe that our natural world is a deeply healing space and that we must protect it.
We both occupy space as white women who are generally well-resourced and we acknowledge the privileges and opportunities we have based on our position in society. We are committed to ongoing interrogation of our unconscious biases. We are on a life-long journey to unlearn what society has taught us and to forge our own paths.
Lemonade Co is located in Mi’kma’ki; the unceded, unsurrendered, and contemporary land of the Mi’kmaq people. Canada has a history of social exclusion, genocide, and systemic discrimination of Indigenous peoples. The ongoing impacts of this exclusion are felt throughout our shared cultural experiences today.
We commit to take action towards justice for all equity-deserving groups in our society through our work and our personal lives.
