Who We Are

We're not your typical marketing agency. We're the folks you call when things go sideways - and we make sure your brand comes out stronger on the other side.

Our Story

Started in Vancouver back in 2015, we've weathered enough brand storms to know what actually works when reputation's on the line. No fluff, no corporate speak - just real strategies that protect what you've built.

Our Journey

2015 - The Beginning

Three ex-journalists and a PR consultant walked into a coffee shop on Homer Street. Sounds like a joke, but we realized Vancouver needed someone who actually understood crisis management beyond damage control. We'd all been on the other side - covering scandals, watching companies crumble. Figured we could do better.

Team meeting

2017 - First Major Win

Remember that tech company data breach that somehow didn't tank their stock? Yeah, that was us. Can't name names, but we learned something crucial - transparency beats spin every single time. That case put us on the map and changed how we approach every crisis since.

Success milestone

2019 - Expansion

Moved into Suite 400 and doubled our team. Added digital security to our roster because honestly, you can't protect a brand without understanding the tech side. Hired former hackers, social media analysts, and a lawyer who gets it. Game changer.

New office

2021 - Pandemic Pivot

COVID hit everyone hard, but we saw companies scrambling with messaging that just... missed. We developed rapid response protocols that we still use today. Helped 40+ businesses navigate lockdown communications without sounding tone-deaf. Learned to move faster than ever.

Remote collaboration

2023 - Going National

Started taking clients from Toronto, Calgary, Montreal. Turns out our West Coast approach resonated across Canada. We're still Vancouver-based and proud of it, but now we're protecting brands coast to coast. Who knew?

National expansion

2025 - Today

We're 30 people strong now, still in the same building, still answering our phones at 2am when crisis hits. We've handled everything from social media nightmares to full-blown PR disasters. And yeah, we sleep better knowing the brands we protect actually deserve defending.

Team working together

Why We Do This

Look, we've seen good companies get buried by bad press they didn't deserve. We've watched brands implode because nobody knew how to handle a crisis properly.

That stuff bothers us. A lot.

So we built something different - a team that actually cares about protecting what matters. We're not here to spin lies or cover up wrongdoing. We work with clients who deserve defending, and we do it with strategies that hold up under scrutiny.

We're based in Vancouver because this city gets it - you can be professional without being fake. Direct without being cruel. And you can defend brands while keeping your integrity intact.
