The Sociable Way

At Sociable Solutions, we’ve embraced a collaborative co-op model—bringing together experienced professionals from graphic design, videography, writing, and events to create custom teams for each project.

Led by Brook Dallaire, every project is thoughtfully matched with specialists who each have 10+ years of expertise in their field. This approach means better quality, more personalized service, and a team that’s built specifically to meet your needs.

It’s flexible, thoughtful, and built on trust—because we believe the best results come from genuine collaboration and shared passion to help your business and community shine. That’s the Sociable Way.

Sociable is a Thunder Bay-based marketing and event studio led by Brook Dallaire, a marketing strategist and project manager with over 13 years of experience in the industry.

Originally from Minnesota, Brook moved to Thunder Bay in 2017 for love—and stayed for the community, the trails, and the small-city charm.

Before founding Sociable, Brook worked as a Digital Marketing Specialist and Project Manager with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for 7 years, followed by a role as International Marketing Lead at Confederation College. Since then, she’s helped more than 120 local businesses and nonprofits across Ontario grow through creative strategy, story-driven marketing, and community-focused events that bring people together.

At Sociable, no two projects are the same—and that’s just how we like it. Brook leads a network of trusted collaborators in design, video, photography, writing, and event logistics, building custom teams for each client and campaign. Whether you’re launching a new brand, planning an event, or just want someone to take the marketing reins, Sociable brings energy, clarity, and a whole lot of heart to every project.
