About me
Hi, I'm Justin Kerby. I'm the co-founder of Something Great, a web design and social media video studio in Vancouver, BC and St. Petersburg, Florida. I head up our Canadian headquarters in Port Coquitlam. I'm a dad, a husband, a Canadian, a marketer, and a pretty lousy golfer.
I've worked in marketing since 2012, starting in the real estate and travel industries, before launching my own agency. These days, I help small and mid-sized businesses with branding, discovery, and growth.
What we do at Something Great
Websites. We design and build websites, mostly in Webflow, but also on WordPress, Squarespace and other platforms. I'm a Webflow Certified Partner.
Short-form social video. Our bread and butter. We plan the ideas, spend a day or two filming with a client (either on-site or in studio), then edit, publish and report on the results. It's all done in-house, start to finish.
Newsletters and blog content. Writing that helps people find you in search and AI tools, and keeps your customers coming back. Growing your email list is a great way to own your audience, so you don't have to only depend on the algorithm.
If that sounds like something your business needs, send me an email.
Want to see who we've worked with? Here are a few clients.

Writing and content
I write about social platforms, search, AI at work and the psychology of marketing on my blog and in Work Friend, my free Tuesday newsletter for business owners.
My work has been published in Fast Company, Business Insider, Social Media Examiner and the Toronto Sun.
I helped produce an original YouTube series for a client that drew millions of views. I've been in front of the camera for YouTube series and behind the mic for podcasts. In short, I love content, both consuming it and creating it.
Outside of work
- Travelled to 30+ countries on five continents.
- Swam with great white sharks, went dog sledding in the Arctic Circle, and kissed a giraffe.
- Love football, Steelers fan, and former pee-wee head coach with Burnaby Lions community football.
- Will never say no to an Irish pub, a game of pool, or a movie night.
