Marketing for Small Business

Welcome to Words & More

A locally owned Whitby business providing marketing services to small businesses. With over 20 years experience at top tier advertising agencies in Toronto, Words & More provides expert advice on promoting your small business.

I originally started Words & More as a part-time business to allow me to write freelance copy as a supplement to my full-time work in advertising. Over the years I have expanded my services to include marketing and production, capitalizing on the experiences I have gained in working for top advertising agencies in Toronto and making Words & More my focus.

Principal, Martello Enrichment School Inc.
I have repeatedly relied on the professional expertise of Dianne Gignac (Words & More) in my academic work. She fully prepared my book manuscript, formatted according to the publisher’s specific requirements, with skill and meticulous attention to the details of the written text, endnotes, and referencing. She also provided valuable editing recommendations. For my research projects, she has transcribed audio and digital recordings of interviews with individuals and focus group participants. The transcripts she produced were excellent in every way—clear in presentation, accessible, well organized, completely accurate, and entirely confidential. Such qualities greatly enabled my subsequent data analysis. Ms. Gignac is reliable, highly proficient, dedicated to her clients, and totally attentive to their varying needs. I recommend her in the strongest possible way.
