June 13 marked a milestone for Canada-Spain relations, and we were right in the middle of it. Iberia’s first-ever direct flight from Madrid touched down at Pearson Toronto Airport, and two days later, we brought Canadian media together for a breakfast celebrating the occasion.

We led media relations strategy for the Canadian launch, coordinating press outreach and coverage, in partnership with GO^ Global Media.

The new route isn’t just a flight path; it’s an economic and cultural connection, expected to bring in close to €31 million in impact and growing traveller demand.

One of our favourite weekends of the year returned in June as thousands gathered for the Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival (SSIF), a vibrant celebration of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis cultures through music, dance, art, food, education, and storytelling.

Held annually during National Indigenous History Month and culminating on National Indigenous Peoples Day, the festival once again filled the National Capital Region with incredible energy, bringing communities together to celebrate Indigenous culture, traditions, and creativity.



We're proud to continue supporting SSIF through marketing, public relations, media relations, and event support, helping share this remarkable celebration with audiences across the region and beyond.



On July 3, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa marked its first anniversary, and we couldn’t be prouder to have been part of the journey. We’ve supported this property before it even opened, leading media relations and event activations every step of the way.

Congratulations to the entire Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa team. Here’s to the year behind us, and many more ahead.

The ByWard Market welcomed a brand-new gathering place this July, as ByWard Square officially launched with an evening full of energy, music, and local flavour. The celebration brought together community members, local businesses, and neighbours to mark the opening of this new public space in the heart of the district.

The evening featured opening remarks, a standout performance by Spencer Scharf & Cindy Goldberg, and local bites from Cozamia, SWT Lab, and The Grand, drawing a Square full of people ready to celebrate. It was a fitting welcome for a space designed to bring people together, and just the beginning of what's ahead.

ByWard Square will continue to host free live music, community programming, and special events throughout the summer, giving locals even more reasons to spend time in the Market.

We were proud to support the launch through public relations and event logistics, helping bring this new chapter for the ByWard Market to life.

We were proud to see our Founder, Karen Wood, join an all-star lineup of local business leaders at the Ottawa Titans' Business at the Ballpark pre-game panel and networking event.

Alongside Jenah Thompson, Martin Boyce, and Brock Murray, Karen shared insights on building brands, navigating the evolving marketing landscape, and the marketing "home runs" and "strike outs" that have shaped their careers. It was a fantastic afternoon of thoughtful conversation, networking, and connecting with Ottawa's business community before cheering on the Titans.

A big thank you to the Ottawa Titans, the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University for presenting the event, and the Ottawa Business Journal's Michael Curran for leading an engaging discussion.

We were delighted to join nearly 200 business and community leaders aboard the Ottawa Board of Trade's Business on the River networking cruise, celebrating Ottawa's 200th anniversary from the very waterway that helped shape the city's early economy.



Hosted on the Ottawa River, the evening brought together leaders from across the region for meaningful conversations, new connections, and a shared optimism for Ottawa's future. It's always a pleasure to connect with our community and celebrate the people, partnerships, and organizations helping our city thrive.



From July 15 to 19, the Ottawa Lebanese Festival brought St. Elias Cathedral to life with five days of Middle Eastern food, music, and dance, celebrating the deep roots of Ottawa's Lebanese community. We were happy to be part of the celebration, taking in the food, the entertainment, and the energy that makes this festival a summer favourite in the National Capital Region.

As Ottawa's bicentennial approaches, the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition (OMIC) unveiled "Heart of This Place (Adàwe c'est ma ville)," a new original song blending English, French, Anishinaabemowin, and Inuktitut into one piece that reflects the many communities that call Ottawa home.

Written and performed by acclaimed local artists Amanda Rheaume, Jessica Pearson, Yao, Qattuu, and Olivier Fairfield, the song will officially debut on September 26 with a free live performance at Marion Dewar Plaza, with a second performance at the Capital Music Awards on October 9.
