Here's My Opinion
As a PR and pop culture media expert, I provide commentary on the intersection of PR and pop culture in present day news narratives.
I am heard coast-to-coast on the Global News Radio Network, including weekly appearances as a panellist on AM640’s John Oakley Show and AM900 CHML’s Scott Thompson Show. My views have been featured in the Huffington Post, PR Daily, the National Post, Canada.com and media outlets across the country. Listen, watch or read what I have to say on the issues of the day.

“During my tenure at Cimoroni & Company, I recognized the need to revitalize our narrative and create the right platforms to most effectively distribute that message. Elissa came on board and within six months delivered on all our objectives. Her experience and professionalism helped guide us but more importantly she worked collaboratively with our team members to achieve fantastic results.”
“Working with Elissa on media initiatives is a real treat. Not only is she one of the most knowledgeable PR professionals I know, but also she delivers on the promise. She knows how to put a story together (and no, not everyone can) to deliver the type of outreach you are seeking. She has a strong ability to keep us on track, is extremely efficient and, best of all, has a wicked sense of humour.”
