Kasama Marketing Marks New Chapter with Ribbon-Cutting, Celebrates Helping 100+ Local Businesses Grow
BELLEVILLE, ON – September 17, 2025 — Kasama Marketing marked a major milestone today with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at The Landing in Belleville, celebrating the launch of its proprietary Kasama Method™ and symbolically hosting the “grand opening” the company never had when it was founded in 2017.
The event brought together local dignitaries, including representatives from MPP Ric Bresee office, the Belleville and Quinte West Chambers of Commerce, Trenval Business Development Corporation, and the Small Business Centre, alongside local business leaders, clients and well wishes from MP Shelby Kramp.
Since its founding, Kasama has worked with over 100 businesses and charities in the Quinte region, helping them launch, grow, and thrive. The agency also reinvests locally by hiring area designers, printers, photographers, and other creative suppliers — keeping business growth dollars in the community.
“Small businesses are the backbone of our region, but too often they get stuck in what we call the ‘marketing swirl’ — jumping from tactic to tactic without a strategy,” said Andrew MacDonald, co-founder of Kasama Marketing. “The Kasama Method brings clarity and leadership so owners can grow with confidence. Today was about celebrating that, and also about thanking the community that has supported us since the beginning.”
For co-founder Katrina MacDonald, the milestone was deeply personal: “Kasama means ‘togetherness’ in Filipino, and that’s how we see our role — growing alongside our clients. Their success is our success. We started Kasama to help entrepreneurs and charities tell their story, and we’re proud to have reached this new chapter in our own journey.”
The Kasama Method™ is a six-step process that helps small and mid-sized businesses create a clear plan for growth. At a time when digital tools and AI make marketing look easy, Kasama’s approach reminds business owners that success still depends on having the right strategy in place.
Rooted in Quinte, Kasama continues to support local charities and community organizations, with Katrina serving on the Belleville Chamber of Commerce board and Andrew contributing his expertise from years in the nonprofit sector.
