                 In South Africa we have a saying:

                  “Local is lekker!”
                 </em>

                 <em>
                  “Local is awesome!”

                 With people locked up in their homes and within their national borders, one of the biggest trends of 2020 was the rise of localization -- from shopping to experiences to food.

                 Will the longing for foreign travel and experiences trump this newfound appreciation of our own backyards? And for how long will small businesses leverage the localism trend?

                  Tell a story

                 . Drift’s brand narrative has been passed around every B2B marketing team and helped them

                  Stand for something
                 </strong>

                In 2019, college students Michelle Kwok and Ravina Anand were thrilled to take part in a Canadian entrepreneurial leadership program.
               </p>
               <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
                But when they discovered that just 18% of their cohort were women, the excitement dissipated.
               </p>
               <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
                To help raise that percentage, they launched a media company called
                <a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829; color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;">
                 FLIK

                to interview female founders and highlight their stories.

               <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
                In countless FLIK interviews, they heard the same thing: “Female founders are under-resourced, undercapitalized, and wished they had mentors when they were starting,” Kwok told us.
               </p>
               <h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 8px;">

               <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
                While female-founded startups have

                But Kwok and Anand saw opportunity: They had like-minded peers interested in learning from the bootstrapped founders highlighted in FLIK’s stories.

               <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
                So they transformed FLIK into an apprenticeship platform to connect female students with female founders -- giving students on-the-job experience and mentorship, and founders much-needed extra hands.
