🐝 Marketing with Heart | 🌿 Built for Local | 💡 Strategy, Story & Support

💠 About Us

Bees To Honey Marketing is the small but mighty business behind two of the Hilltops region’s collaborative marketing platforms — Hilltops Connect and the Hilltops Off The Beaten Track Arts & Cultural Trail. We exist to help local businesses, creatives and communities become more visible, more connected, and more confident in how they show up.

Founded by Sharon Smithers — a long-time small business owner with deep roots in both marketing and the local community (born and bred here) — Bees To Honey Marketing is all about strategy with heart. Sharon’s approach blends technical know-how, design thinking, and local-first collaboration to give small business owners the tools they need to grow, without compromising their values or voice.

Building these platforms has been a true labour of love, powered by hundreds of hours of dedication and a belief in the courage, creativity, and resilience of our local business owners. Because when it’s in your blood — it’s in your blood — and there’s no going back.
