I first heard about Sprouter when I was a fresh-faced PR grad living and working my first “big girl” job in Toronto. While I never made use of the service myself, I always found its foundation of connecting entrepreneurs to industry professionals to help answer questions and lead them to success especially compelling, especially as read more

In the interest of the (unpaid) intern
July 19, 2011 – 12:10 pm
I posted this on Google+ this morning and once I got writing I realized I had a lot more to say than originally anticipated. I spotted this Globe and Mail article on Twitter this morning and, almost instinctively jumped all over it. It’s a great read and provides a lot of important food for thought: read more
Wherein I find my true colours
September 14, 2010 – 7:30 am
When it comes to rebranding, the general rule that I was taught was that if something is going to be rebranded, it should happen for one of two reasons: 1) The product/service/brand has changed somehow; or 2) Something has gone horribly, horribly wrong and the only way to move forward to start fresh. (Okay, maybe read more
They got married and the whole town came (seriously!)
July 28, 2010 – 6:30 am
On July 16th I crashed a wedding. Well, I guess I didn’t actually crash it, per se. Technically I was invited, along with everyone else in Belleville and Quinte. But I definitely didn’t know the couple, so there was that. Oh, and the wedding was held at the Quinte Mall. This lavish ceremony with all read more
The art of saying thank you
June 22, 2010 – 8:30 am
A little while ago I did some pro bono media relations work for an event being run by an amazing local non-profit. I like when I am able to take the time for projects like these. It alway feels good to work hard for a good cause and it also helps me to stay on top read more
Don’t be “that” PR person – Know your bloggers!
June 10, 2010 – 9:50 pm
Last week as I was perusing through my Twitter feed I noticed a series of less-than-impressed tweets from @herbadmother (aka Catherine Connors, mommy blogger extraordinaire who writes over at Her Bad Mother among other sites. I happen to be a big fan, despite my lack of mommy-ness. You definitely don’t have to be a parent read more
cottage season: Sandbanks Summer Village and the Spring Cottage Life Show
April 7, 2010 – 9:10 pm
Poor, neglected blog. I can’t believe I haven’t posted since February. I’ve had so many posts planned out and none of them ever got to see the light of day. My absence certainly hasn’t been for lack of trying or desire, I’ve just been very busy (but in a very good way!). That’s going to read more
just trying to pass that proverbial torch
December 9, 2009 – 9:08 pm
When I was a student in the Post-Graduate Public Relations program at Loyalist College, one of the many things that I really appreciated were the many speakers that professor Kerry Ramsay arranged to have come to our class and present. From those with several years of industry experience to program alumni, they came to speak read more
In review: quinte tweet-up, the second
November 25, 2009 – 4:34 pm
This past Monday I had the great pleasure of attending the second-ever Quinte tweet-up at The Winchester Arms in Belleville. One of my favourite things about social media is the way that it brings people together, and not just online. There’s something truly exciting about finally being able to put a face to that twitter read more
