“Karen is a consummate professional in everything she does.  Since we are a rapidly growing food business, we really needed to get our message out and connect more with consumers. Karen created a comprehensive PR plan for us with a detailed action plan and clear milestones.  The results have been better than expected, and we have exceeded all of our original objectives.  I highly recommend her.”

“I’ve worked with Karen for many years, through senior communications positions at two high profile companies. She’s efficient, reliable and gets to the heart of complex situations quickly. She brings a valuable external perspective and is my ‘go-to’ support for communications planning, issues management and media relations.”

“Karen has provided invaluable insights and strategic planning capabilities to my team during a time of growth and change as we built a institutional communications capacity at SFU. From a multi-stakeholder crisis simulation exercise to complex issues management projects, Karen’s expertise in strategy, message development, and media and social relations has been a significant asset to achieving project results.

Her ability to balance strategy with project management and ‘brass tacks’ is enviable — all while effectively working with many section leaders to help us align on meeting goals.”

“Replacement of the Pattullo Bridge is a major infrastructure project with complex communications and community issues in New Westminster and Surrey.  Karen’s insights into strategic communications have been of great benefit to the project and to TransLink.”

“BC Notaries have worked with Karen since late 2010.  Karen’s attention to detail, her professional style, presence, expertise  and her knowledge of communications has proven to be of benefit for our various needs.  As well Karen is an excellent presenter and communicator, always thinking ahead – and we were also impressed with Karen’s ability to learn our business and needs very quickly.”

“I’ve worked with Karen in my role as communications lead at various organizations, accessing her strategic communications, media strategy and writing skills.  Her experienced and outside perspective has been a valued touchstone for me in times of both opportunity and issues.”
