// MEET THE FOUNDERS

More than social media managers.

At Double Tap Collective, we're Okanagan locals who genuinely understand the businesses, communities, and people that make this region unique. Between the two of us, we bring over 20 years of combined experience across hospitality, customer service, marketing, media, and business operations. Having spent our careers building relationships throughout the valley, we know what connects with local audiences and what it takes for businesses to stand out.

// WHY DOUBLE TAP COLLECTIVE

Local, personal, results-driven.

We created Double Tap Collective because we saw a need for social media marketing that feels local, personal, and results-driven. As Okanagan residents, we know the communities, businesses, and customers that make this region thrive.

From Kelowna and West Kelowna to Penticton, Summerland, Lake Country, and beyond, we've spent years building relationships across the valley. Whether you're a winery, restaurant, retail store, service provider, tourism business, or local entrepreneur, we understand the Okanagan market because we've lived and worked in it.

Our goal is simple: create meaningful content, build genuine connections, and help local businesses grow through strategic social media marketing that gets noticed — and double tapped.
