here's our 90 second elevator pitch.
everything you need to know about toth shop.
toth shop launched in 2015. but, truth be told, this was a side hustle that started in 2012 when we saw a couple of problems...
none of those problems needed a big agency in a gilded office or an off-shore writer. they needed a personal touch - someone to listen, think creatively together, and act with agility, curiosity, and human brain magic.
we met those problems head-on with our touch, bringing artistry to business; and business to artistry.
today, toth shop is brand strategy and storytelling. behind every brand is a strong and special story. your ability to tell your story delivers confidence - for you and your customer. that’s our favorite kind of value.
here’s how we make it happen
in our brand discovery process, we want to know where you’ve been, where you are now, and where you’re going. we take a holistic and strategic look at who you are and what makes you special; from the art and soul to the business and operations. we’re listening for what matters to you most and the opportunities we see possible for your storytelling.
first and foremost, we’re your thought partner; we identify your hidden gems - your strengths, your super powers, your valuable creative opportunities, and we create a plan to bring those to the forefront of your writing and marketing. this phase is all about fresh perspective and good ideas.
better yet, creativity in action; creative can run the gamut; it could be a series of blogs, fresh content for your website; a communications strategy and content calendar for the next year. the result? clarity, consistency, character-driven content, a fresh take on customer engagement. and you’ll feel more confident which forever changes how you and your brand show up.
hey, our process works.
we've worked with some amazing, smart, fun people and brands. here are some kind words from one of those people.
working with toth shop was fun, meaningful, and easy-breezy-lemon-squeezy. their approach was to first understand me, which i so appreciated, and played a critical role in helping me build a brand and create a website that had all the necessary components but was also just 'me.' meg is real, incredibly gifted at what she does, and has a genuine desire to see her clients succeed. this firm is top notch!

so, what’s toth?
toth shop is named for erzsébet toth who, at just 19, left her home in the village of paczin, hungary to board a transatlantic ship in the belgium port city of antwerp on may 23, 1912. she did it by herself, in the middle of the night. that ship docked at ellis island, nyc on june 4, 1912. she spoke no english; she knew no one in america; she started an entirely new life in pittsburgh. she - elizabeth toth doczy - became a u.s. citizen in 1957, and her name is on a brick permanently placed at ellis island. she’s our founder’s great-grandmother.
that courage, curiosity, and personal drive to rewrite the (life) story defines toth shop.
