LBMG Ethnic Advisory Council

To better reflect the diverse cultures that comprise our province and country, LBMG has recruited five of the most highly sought after multicultural media professionals in Canada to sit on a first-of-its-kind Ethnic Advisory Council.

With this Council, our media relations and buying professionals have the unparalleled opportunity to garner more than 100 years of combined expertise from key publishers, editors and journalists from outlets representing Canada’s rich cultural mosaic. Representation includes, but is not limited to, Chinese, South East Asian, Filipino, Korean, Malaysian and Central and South American cultures.

Through this Ethnic Advisory Council, LBMG is excited to bridge relationships with not only varied ethnic media across Canada, but also the unique demographic of readers, viewers and listeners often not reached through English-language media. In turn, we aim to maximize opportunities for our dynamic and innovative group of clients by offering a unique, multicultural and holistic approach to strategic public relations and media buying.
