We value Anita’s services as she combines the ability to identify, write and pitch a news story with ease in dealing with the media one-on-one.
John Winter, President and CEO, British Columbia Chamber of Commerce

We needed someone to work as a seamless extension of our busy team and to hit the ground running. You absolutely got it from day one. At our first meeting I outlined two initiatives with imminent deadlines and right away you had ideas, acted and got us coverage. Your quick response with story ideas, contacts and action continued over the months we worked together.
Stephanie Thatcher, former Communications Manager, Vancity Credit Union

Anita’s strong relationships with the local media make her efficient and effective when pitching stories. Working with Anita, we have consistently met our PR targets in the west.
Ann Gallery , President, High View Communications, Toronto

I’m always happy to work with a consummate professional like Anita, who I know I can rely on to get me what I need for a story, often on a ridiculously short deadline. I always pay attention when I get a pitch from her because I know … she’ll do everything she can to make my job easier and my story better.
Joanne Blain, former Arts and Life reporter, The Vancouver Sun

You tailored a media list to reach our target audiences and advised us on timing and pitching angles. When it came time to make calls to the media you were quick, professional and effective. The resulting coverage was just what we wanted.
Susan Pinton, Director, Marketing and Communications, Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon

[Anita is] singularly adept at the “people skills” required for media liaison work. Her range of contacts in this area is extensive, and I know she is highly regarded in the media community.
Ron Richardson, Director Media and Information Services, Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada

Many thanks. You fall under my ‘good PR people’ file. The ‘not so good’ file is much, much larger!
Wendy Vreeken, Segment Producer, Living Vancouver, CBC Television

[Anita] prepared a media plan and, using her contacts, arranged for a Vancouver Sun reporter to interview me. This resulted in a three-quarter page article in the paper’s business section … just the kind of exposure we were looking for!
Susan Memory, President, JRS Amenities

We found Anita asked the right questions, listened well and really understood our objectives. She created an extensive list of appropriate contacts … As a result of her skill in dealing with the media we got wonderful coverage.
Robert Koby, President, Vancouver Gas Fireplaces

Anita’s quiet-yet-firm guidance and her knowledge of how the media works were a huge help. I learned a lot from her about how to craft a message, state it clearly and get coverage.
Chris Bayliss, Executive Director, Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau

You are a ROCK STAR! You did a wonderful job of looking after Vancouver’s Grey Goose vodka mixologists competition…The media judges you selected were ideal and the resulting coverage was amazing – right on target.
