There are so many great stories hidden in Victoria’s culture.
But, as far as we could tell, there wasn’t a place dedicated to celebrating them.
We wanted to create that space–one that acknowledged and supported the actual people who have helped to build Victoria’s hospitality and entertainment businesses. And we wanted to design it so that locals would be rewarded for their engagement, with insider offers that encourage them to get out and experience their city first-hand.
So…who are we? Good question! We’re Kyle Guilfoyle (ex-bartender-turned-marketing-fanatic) and Daniel Murphy (ex-brewmaster-turned-copywriter). But more importantly, we’re Victorian locals who know how great our city’s culture is, and were frustrated by its lack of exposure.
Our cultural scene didn’t arrive overnight–it was built by hardworking visionaries, risk takers, and lateral thinkers–each with their own unique and intriguing backstory. We just couldn’t find an avenue for us, or for you, to learn about their incredible journeys.
So we built it.
“We saw a divide between the important stories that define Victoria’s culture–our hospitality establishments, our entertainment venues, our events–and the locals and newcomers who want to know about them.”
