What People Say

Here we are on the home stretch for the 2010 Games and the Richmond O Zone/BC Street. Our compliments to you and your associates on a job well done. The CCCTA is aware that it is almost impossible to be all things to all people, but you folks have achieved more than we could have hoped for. In our eyes you are on the top of the podium!

Geoff Moore, Regional Media Relations Representative, Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association


Fantastic! Great job all. You are certainly getting coverage where we previously have not had luck.

Andy Perez, Regional Public Relations Manager, Feld Entertainment Inc.


Laura Ballance has proven an invaluable asset to the South Asian Post and Asian Pacific Post newspapers, Metro Vancouver’s two largest circulation, English-language ethnic publications. Whether she’s pitching a client or responding to a request for sources or resources, Laura always gets back to us with exactly what we need, when we need it. Her seemingly prescient knowledge of where we’re going with a story and why, set Laura apart in her industry, where her name is synonymous with pitch-perfect professionalism.

Harbinder Singh Sewak, Publisher Post Group Multimedia Inc.


Laura makes it a point to understand what she is pitching or reacting to, before coming in contact with my reporters. This makes her a valuable resource for my newsroom. She has a great depth of her contacts in the news business and has built deep ties with many in the industry. Her background as a journalist has equipped her well with newsroom knowledge – something many in the PR business lack.

Fabian Dawson, Deputy Editor, The Province
