Testimonials

Working with LeBlanc (& co.) Communications has been an exceptional experience for the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association. From a new communications strategy, to impactful advocacy messaging, to effective brand design, Kathryn and her team truly understand the unique needs of small nonprofits striving to make an impact. With their support, we were able to strengthen our voice as champions for healthy, vibrant, and resilient communities. We wholeheartedly recommend LeBlanc (& co.) Communications to any organization seeking strategic brand design and communications expertise.

— Martin Sampson

CEO of the Canadian Parks And Recreation Association

Working with Kathryn LeBlanc and her team on this project was such a positive experience — one of the best collaborations our organization has ever had. LeBlanc (& co.) Communications provided us with the tools we needed to get our campaign messages across to the audiences we needed to reach. The campaign captured the attention of policy makers and the media. The communications strategy was brilliantly conceived and executed. We engaged thousands of people who had not previously taken action for child care, and we significantly increased our list of potential donors. I recommend without hesitation this effective communications firm to other groups that want to make a big impact.

— Morna Ballantyne

Executive Director of Child Care Now

Kathryn's workshop has been instrumental in refining our organizational key message document and guidelines. Her expertise helped us focus on essential wording and core messages, with an eye to enhancing our emotional connection with our audiences. Her insights on the internal rollout of new communication documents were especially helpful. I highly recommend her expertise for organizations looking to strengthen and bring more coherence to their messaging.

— Vita Sgardello

Manager of Communications at Oxfam Canada

It is a joy to work with Kathryn and the LeBlanc (& co.) team. Kathryn is attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. She was able to immerse herself in the complexities of our work and help us develop strategic messaging that is accessible and engaging. Her messaging workshops are energizing, and we would recommend her to anyone seeking clarity for their cause.

— Ben Losman

National Communications Manager at The Canadian CED Network

Support from Kathryn and her team was instrumental in us achieving our campaign goals. The CCGSD worked with LeBlanc (& co.) Communications for our International Women’s Day campaign to reaffirm the importance of trans-inclusive feminism in Canada. This included coordinating campaign messaging with feminist and 2SLGBTQ+ sector colleagues and having our campaign presented during Question Period within the House of Commons.

— Debbie Owusu-Akyeeah

Executive Director of the Canadian Centre for Gender And Sexual Diversity

Kathryn's media training was focused, practical and highly engaging. It is the perfect introduction for subject experts who may be anxious about interacting with media. The training demystified the process and created a framework to make it easier to prepare for interviews and stay on topic. It was a great way to build understanding and confidence!

– Anne-Marie McElrone

Director of Partnership Development at The North Grove

We have been so incredibly lucky and grateful to have Kathryn deliver a training to our small (but mighty) team at Capital Rainbow Refuge! She took the time to understand the unique context of our work and help us adapt our existing comms materials and strategy to be practical for our team to implement. She supported us to refine key messages that authentically speak to who we are and took the time to walk us through developing and implementing our plan. She is a delight to work with and is incredibly down-to-earth and real — which feels like a tough thing to find in the comms and marketing spinning world.
