More Than Just a Helping Hand
Chickadee Creative Co. began with a simple idea: small businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs shouldn’t have to do everything on their own.
What started as Chickadee Virtual Assistants grew from a shared passion for helping people bring their ideas to life. With backgrounds in administration, community work, events, marketing, and creative support, we saw how often great ideas get put on hold because there simply isn’t enough time, knowledge, or an extra set of hands to make them happen.
As Chickadee has grown, so have the services we provide. Today, Chickadee Creative Co. offers more than traditional virtual assistance. From administrative and creative support to social media, design, event support, and specialized services through our network of independent professionals, we help clients find the support they need without the cost or commitment of a large agency.
Our goal is simple: do the work so you can focus on what you do best.
Whether you need a one-time project, ongoing support, a monthly retainer, or an extra set of hands for a few hours, we work with you to find an option that fits your needs and budget.
The name Chickadee reflects where we come from and what we value. The chickadee is a small, resilient, adaptable bird—qualities that feel right at home in New Brunswick and in the way we approach our work. We believe good support should be approachable, dependable, and rooted in community.
Today, Chickadee Creative Co. brings together administration, creativity, strategy, and a growing network of talented professionals to help turn ideas into action.
Because you don’t have to do it all yourself.
We believe…
in empowering businesses and communities by providing personalized, efficient, and creative support that fosters growth and success.
Our ethics…
upholds a commitment to integrity, transparency, and excellence, always prioritizing the needs of our clients and fostering strong, supportive relationships.
