        • About.

          Hi, I'm Dan Fallak, and I am the founder of Versatile Brands Inc.

           

          In the past 9 years I've built and launched many brands by relying on my sharp eye for market trends, an understanding of consumer behaviour and my instincts that tell me what kinds of things people want to purchase.

          VBI is my launching pad for the products and brands that I develop and believe have a place in the market. While we continue to build the brands currently launched, we're also constantly working to discover and develop more things that people will want.

          To date, we're proud to have sold hundreds of thousands of products direct to customers online, in person and via our wholesale partners. VBI products have graced shelves in over 1,000 retail doors across North America, including major retail chains like Urban Outfitters, Saks 5th Ave, Indigo, Marshalls & TJ Maxx.

          Making Fun Products That People Want!

          Versatile Brands is a small local business that builds and launches super fun product lines and distributes them primarily through wholesale/retail relationships and online. Our product lines have graced the shelves of major chain retail like Indigo, Urban Outfitters, Macy's and Winners, AND 100's of independent gift shops. One of our lines was even featured on CBC's Dragons' Den where we got a deal for our pitch. Ranging from gift, to barware, to home decor, to novelty items, Versatile Brands' mission is to bring fun products that people will want to the market.

           

          What is A Brand Co-Pilot?

          Ever wanted to feel the rush of flying a plane? Well, while we don't have our own company jet (yet) what we can offer is an exciting and fast paced role as the primary support staff for the founder and CEO of Versatile Brands. This "Jack-or-Jill-of-all-trades" position requires a highly organized and driven self starter with the ability to take initiative and work independently in multiple roles without significant direction... basically we are looking for someone we can trust to take on some key projects and run with them. Your main goals as Brand Co-Pilot will be in helping to steer our portfolio of product lines towards new opportunities, to strengthen awareness, and provide stability, consistency and organization behind the scenes. The ideal Brand Co-Pilot is passionate about entrepreneurship, shopping local, retail, e-commerce, social media, and small businesses. Having a history of working for, or running your own product based business is an asset. In fact, as this is a part-time role, we do encourage entrepreneurs to apply and we are very open to you having your own side-hustle on the go since we truly value the entrepreneurial mindset.

           

          Responsibilities

          Examples of projects that you as Brand Co-Pilot could work on but are not limited to:

          • develop and execute an outreach and follow up schedule for existing wholesale clients and new leads 
          • organize and deliver on a social and email marketing calendar for direct to consumer clients
          • maintain customer service correspondence over email
          • plan product photography shoots
          • update e-commerce websites with new content 
          • help in the development of new products / sku's
          • + much more!

          If you are a creative thinker and looking to work and have an impact on small independent business then this could be the role for you.

           

          Accepting applications until March 31, 2021.
