Meet the People Behind Downtown’s Small Businesses
This past summer, our marketing co-op student, Sierra, interviewed a whole bunch of amazing downtown small business owners on video. She spent many, many hours editing each interview into a short reel for Instagram. Follow @downtownvictoriabc to meet a new small business owner every day throughout October!
Watch the videos below for a sneak peak of some of the business owners interviewed for this project. These videos were created by Surf & Stone Studio!
