her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Morgan’s mission from the very start has been to encourage people to share their love and thanks to the women in their lives.<\/p>\n
As her website puts it: Regardless of what gender you identify with, we all have powerful women in our life who support and empower us, enabling us to be who we are and help us through the tough and the triumphant. This is your GIRL GANG, and they deserve to be celebrated.<\/p>\n
“I would have never anticipated being an online cookie delivery service,\u201d Morgan admits.<\/p>\n
But a beautiful box of homemade cookies just happens to be the perfect vessel for celebration and appreciation. Because hey\u2026who doesn\u2019t love some fresh, homemade, ooey gooey chocolate chip cookies?!<\/p>\n

Building a brand from scratch<\/h2>\n
After working at big companies like Hudson\u2019s Bay Company, Lululemon, and Starbucks, Morgan is well-versed in the art of developing a brand that shines. She’s a talented businesswoman and storyteller who knows how to captivate an audience through great content \u2014 and a great product.<\/p>\n
Because her boxes are pretty and photogenic, people love to capture and share them on social media. This is where her word-of-mouth marketing really shines \u2013 people love to give and to get her goodies!<\/p>\n
Morgan also sources content from various partnerships and events she attends, which helps to further develop and grow her #girlgang community.<\/p>\n
Using her brand guidelines from Looka, she replicates the exact color and font in her logo across the majority of her marketing materials. The guidelines also make it easy to share her logo in different sizes and file formats with partners and media outlets.<\/p>\n
This consistency is key to strong visual branding, and helps makes her brand easily recognizable.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Morgan uses her logo, iconic company name, and brand colors wherever she can. From her website and social channels, to actual swag and printed goods. Her Girl Gang arsenal consists of:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- Custom stickers<\/li>\n
- Business cards<\/li>\n
- Welcome pamphlets<\/li>\n
- Hats, T-shirts, and more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Developing strategic partnerships<\/h2>\n
Morgan describes Girl Gang as, \u201cEmpowerment, community, gratitude, and delicious\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Though her company is still very young, her goal is to develop a community around Girl Gang \u2014 more of a \u201c360 experience outside of just cookies.\u201d Partnerships and branding are a crucial part of this.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe entrepreneur community in Toronto is so welcoming, willing to collaborate and vibrant,” Morgan explains. “When determining who we want to work with, alignment on values is key. It’s also why we have been able to work with amazing fellow female-entrepreneurs and brands who have the same values and look to elevate women in some capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n
She has already worked with some of the most notable brands around, including Bumble, Smashbox, Facebook, and Wealthsimple. By partnering with companies who share a similar mission \u2014 to empower and celebrate women \u2014 Morgan is able to organically spread the Girl Gang brand.<\/p>\n
