Profiles of Canada’s public relations firms

Posted by Joseph Thornley on January 15th, 2008, 5 Comments

Canada's top PR professionalsWho leads Canada’s public relations firms? How did they get to where they are? What do they think makes each of their firms special? What advice would they give to young people who would like to pursue a career in public relations?

Next week, we’ll start a new series of video interviews in which I pose these questions to the leaders of Canada’s top public relations firms. We hope that these interviews will be of interest to anyone considering a career in public relations or just about anyone who wants to get a sense of who the key decision makers are in Canada’s public relations industry.

So, if you’re curious about Canada’s public relations industry and the people who head up the country’s major PR firms, subscribe to our feed and you’ll receive a stream of biweekly interviews.
