Paul Dincer, Founder, Koko Monk Chocolates

Joanne Probyn has been an integral part of Koko Monk Chocolates’ success. I would recommend Joanne to anyone who wants to grow their business by creating a sophisticated, highly-focused brand. She has an outstanding ability to see the big picture of what a business needs and drives an innovative, solid strategic plan to completion. Moreover, she presented this larger landscape in manageable steps, helping us grow with our vision. She developed and executed both off- and online brand engagement campaigns leveraging social media, communications, public relations, media events and design. Joanne deploys relationship campaigns that have brought us closer to our community–customers, industry, media and bloggers alike. She counts companies like Vancity Credit Union and Digital Strategy Conference in her client base. I’d highly recommend Joanne to anyone who needs the very best in brand development, communications and social media execution.

Joanne joins Canadian Public Relations Society board of directors

Great news! I’m delighted to announce I’ve accepted an invitation to join the Canadian Public Relations Society as director of professional development. This means I’ll be planning and hosting 6-7 professional development events each year with speakers presenting on subjects from social media to media relations, reputation management and more.

Read a review of my first event

My next event will be held on Tuesday, October 29th at the Metropolitan Hotel featuring Denyse Johnson of the Canadian Tourism Commission. She will share exciting multicultural communications strategies with us.

I hope to see you there!
