To make an impact, people need to feel a connection to an organization, a cause, or a product.
Using public relations strategies and tactics, spark* helps advance your agenda and persuade your audience to take action.
What is public relations?
Public relations is the use of strategic communications to manage how an audience sees and feels about an organization, person, or product. It helps build trust, connection, and positive feelings with an audience.
How is public relations different from advertising?
While advertising uses paid promotion, PR is focused on building a narrative to generate publicity and create champions for your organization.

Our recent work
Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC): Get Out The Vote 2021
For too long Indigenous women have been greatly under-represented in voter turnout in Canadian elections and their issues ignored by the government. During the 2021 federal election, we partnered with NWAC on developing the “We’re Done Asking, We’re Voting” campaign.
Aimed at raising awareness and activating Indigenous women in Canada, the campaign used a variety of strategies and tactics including public relations tactics such as content creation and influencer marketing, to advance the story and build authority.
Music Canada: Canada's Music Leaders Event
spark* worked with Music Canada and SOCAN to put on Music Night on the Hill, a Parliament Hill reception celebrating Canada’s music industry.
Our team worked to develop the event name and theme, the branded collateral materials, and the communications strategy. For the event, our team handled all the event management. We did everything from the guest list to check-in. The evening was well attended by stakeholders, key government and political officials, and the media. It was a night to remember with live performances by Aysanabee, Savannah Ré, and Lili-Ann De Francesco.
We believe in the power of storytelling to advance an agenda. From robust PR strategies to one-off tactics, we can help you build connections with the audiences that matter most to you.
