Our Meet the Media event on June 3rd at Lavelle in collaboration with Zebra PR was a huge hit. This event was organized to help businesses in Toronto gain insights and learn the secrets of capturing media attention from mainstream media reporters. With 80+ different businesses in attendance, the night was filled with innovative ideas, networking, panel discussions and more. We also had welcome drinks courtesy of Empress 1908 Gin. 

Our panel discussion included 3 reporters from mainstream media houses in Toronto, including Graham “Skip” Dillard from Audacy’s WXBK-FM 94.7, Daniel Reyes Cocka from Breakfast Television and Tony Gayle from FADED4U. Thanks to our panellists, we were all able to gain valuable insights into the industry and discover how businesses can capture their attention. Here are some of the businesses that came out to our event:
