Absolutely — that gives it more personality and punch. Here’s the revised flow with your new line worked in smoothly:

At Mangia — no we’re not Italian, but I’ve eaten enough Italian tomatoes to know what it means. And what a word — Mangia. Say it: MAN-JA! It’s a word I’ve always loved, and I hope you will too. Because at its heart, mangia means to gather, to savour, to celebrate. And that’s exactly what we bring to marketing: ideas that feel alive, food-forward creativity, and strategy that fuels real growth — driving traffic, building lists, and turning attention into action.

A name that means “eat!” in Italian. It’s warm, memorable, and exactly how we approach marketing: as an invitation to the table for your ideal customer.

We’re known for creative that stops the scroll and email funnels that bring the big cha-ching — including a campaign that turned a free cookie into millions for one of Canada’s top boutique grocers.

My background blends deep experience in branding and content that resonates. I started in publishing and editorial, launching Anna Magazine from my kitchen table and growing it into a nationally recognized culinary brand.

Today, I’ve built a top-tier team across marketing, advertising, and culinary. Together, we launch brands, shape campaigns, and create the kind of marketing people actually want to read — and food they long to eat.

Because Mangia isn’t just a word. It’s an invitation. Let’s dig in.
