Comprehensive reputation management for your entire business

"Ted was a fantastic instructor. He made the content very applicable and reinforced the learnings with interactive activities and real world examples. Excellent Instructor and I would take another course from him."

I truly want your business to succeed. I value strong relationships and only offer solutions that help grow business or optimize your operations. If it doesn’t make sense for your business, I won’t even mention it.

​The whole picture. Many reputation management firms focus solely on a business’s online footprint. That’s perfectly fine and most do a great job, but what about the rest of your business? Fewer companies have the knowledge to work with news and industry media to generate the attention you deserve. Even less have the courage to handle the media when problems go public. Almost no reputation companies see the value in building strong ambassadors for your business by onboarding new employees properly or supporting your existing team. 

Connect the dots to make better business decisions. I work with a highly experienced team of advisors and partners who are our quasi-advisory council. They come from the fields of branding and design, digital marketing, human resources, crisis communications and business continuity. We also enjoy the support of a small team of business and subject-matter-experts from the worlds of executive coaching, healthcare and energy. ​

​I've been there

​I have been a professional communicator and marketer for more than fifteen years. I have worked on both sides of the microphone, starting my career in radio and television journalism and later moving into the work of corporate communications. There, I conducted hundreds of sensitive media interviews and also trained numerous executives to interact with the media and speak publicly with confidence. 

I live in Calgary, Alberta with my awesome wife and two truly amazing kids. I do my best work very early in the morning, thinking and writing while pacing my darkened living room with my second coffee listening to overseas radio news.

I am an enthusiastic, but lousy, photographer. I ski, skateboard, rollerblade, hike, run, snorkel and, in my dreams, surf. And I tell the worst jokes ever. Seriously, ask my kids.
