IN THE KNOW:
DesignHeads
Learn about what makes a kitchen great at this first-ever Spruce event.
The kitchen is the heart and soul of every house. It’s where families and friends gather, make good food and bond. That’s why it’s so important to make sure your kitchen is a beautiful, functional space. But figuring out how to do that can be tough.
On February 6th at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel, Spruce, Page One Publishing’s home and design magazine, is hosting an event to demystify kitchen renovations. A panel of renowned Victoria design and build professionals will provide insightful advice to help you create the best kitchen possible — advising on everything from quick refreshes to custom upgrades.
So, whether you’re looking to renovate or remodel your kitchen, learn more about what is hot in design or just enjoy a fun night out, make sure you don’t miss Spruce’s first DesignHeads event.
Tickets include cocktails, appetisers, prizes and swag bags. For more info about the event, head to eventbrite.
FROM THE CURRENT ISSUE OF DOUGLAS:
The Power of Branding
A strong brand is about more than your name and love. Pure and simple, it stands for customer trust.
What do Costco and MEC have in common? They are the two most trusted brands in Canada. Now in its ninth year, the prestigious University of Victoria’s Gustavson Brand Trust Index has identified Costco and MEC as our most trusted brands, with a tied score. This is a direct reflection of their perceived value and robust relationships with customers. Close behind are such familiar names as Toyota, Dyson, the Canadian Automobile Association, Ikea and even Lego.
