Shareworthy has strong media relationships that help to elevate our stories through strategic media pitching. Simply put, they are the only ones I trust to handle media relations.”

With intelligence and keen imagination Alex and her team tackle the challenges lurking in the quick-changing media environment. Extreme competence does not often come with such humour and grace.

 “The great thing about working with Shareworthy is that I always know what I’m getting myself into, even in uncertain circumstances Working with Alex and her team means that it will be professional, creative, organized, timely and, most importantly, fun.  She works hard to make sure that you have a story that is a good fit for the readers, you always leave with substance.  Media get invited to a lot of events, but I don’t think I’ve ever said “no” to working with Alex — she’s a consummate professional.”

 “As a marketer obsessed with creating moments that matter, I value partners who think fearlessly and execute flawlessly. Alex is exactly that. We’ve worked with Alex for several years across FAN EXPO’s west coast portfolio and global initiatives, and she remains one of my most trusted collaborators. She doesn’t just ‘do PR’, she thinks strategically, acts boldly, and brings the kind of creative energy that makes ideas bigger, stories stronger, and impact deeper. Alex understands the world we operate in… the fans, the media, the cultural pulse. She’s constantly pushing for better, not just coverage, but resonance.”

— Kathryn Eves-Maharaj, VP of Marketing, B2C North America (FAN EXPO HQ, Design, Art, Craft)

Alex gave us a realistic picture of the media landscape then went ahead and exceeded our every expectation, garnering a level of coverage we’d never dreamed of. Her genuine enthusiasm for the unique elements of our work and insight into where those stories would resonate has proved invaluable – I can’t wait for our next collaboration!”
