"Where Competition is Old School and Collaboration is King"

The creators behind the local online platforms

In today’s marketing landscape, consumers value authenticity, community, and meaningful connections. Collaborative marketing allows businesses to align with these values by creating joint campaigns, hosting shared events, or promoting one another’s offerings. This builds trust and loyalty among customers while fostering a strong sense of community. Hilltops Connect is not ‘just another directory’. It’s a place for our communities to work together to attract crowds like ‘bees to honey’.

Hilltops Off The Beaten Track Arts & Cultural Trail is a shining example of the power of collaboration within the Hilltops arts community. This annual event thrives on the collective effort of local artists, volunteers, and businesses, who come together to showcase the region’s rich cultural and creative talent. In fact the success of the art trail platform is the inspiration behind the Hilltops Connect platform. The combination of Hilltops Connect and Hilltops Off The Beaten Track provides businesses with some worthwhile sponsorship opportunities.

The Local Marketing Toolbox aims to simplify marketing for business owners by breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, ensuring accessibility even for those with limited time, budgets or technical expertise. It includes simple and practical tools such as checklists and step by step pdf guides, for local businesses, and access to a private group of local business owners. No time-wasting marketing strategies here.

The combination of Hilltops Connect and The Marketing Toolbox is a powerful online and off-line marketing strategy.

About us

Building the platforms above has been a labour of love, driven by hundreds of hours of dedication to support our local business community. As a long-time small business owner, I deeply understand the courage and sometimes relentless effort it takes to run a small business every day. But when it’s in your blood – it’s in your blood – there’s no going back!

Drawing on my many years of experience in the technical and marketing space, I created these platforms you see above to empower local businesses in the Hilltops region.

The success of Hilltops Off The Beaten Track in 2024 and the explosion of growth in 2025, showcases the incredible power of collaboration within our arts community. This inspires me to extend that same collaborative spirit to our local business community through Hilltops Connect. Hilltops Connect is designed to amplify the visibility of small businesses, foster partnerships, and create opportunities that are otherwise out of reach individually.

There’s power in numbers. So come join us and help build the platform as we strive to strengthen the economic growth of our local businesses and community.“
