Arlene DickinsonArlene Dickinson Enterprises (ADE) and Metroland Media Group (Metroland) announced a new partnership today as the two entities look to support Canadian entrepreneurs with investment and growth strategies.

“There are many entrepreneurs who have created great products but need help manufacturing, distributing and retailing that product to consumers,” said Dickinson. “Together with Metroland Media Group, Arlene Dickinson Enterprises will be in a unique position to develop, support, and accelerate this process for innovative products and services. Metroland is a progressive and entrepreneurial Canadian media organization with experience in promoting and selling products in both Canadian and International markets, and I am very pleased at the prospect of working with them.”

You may recognize Arlene from the CBC show Dragon’s Den, as well as the communications firm that she started over a decade ago called Venture Communications. Metroland’s footprint includes over 100 publications and numerous websites, which makes for great distribution potential for entrepreneurs  that work with then. Let’s hope this partnership will bear fruit than the last one.
