C.01, Media / Strategy & Publicity
The strategic middle ground
between marketing and PR.
We find the newsworthy angle inside your business, and bring real journalism and production to it.
Not a marketing firm building paid placements. Not a PR agency pitching news desks. We sit between the two, analyzing every angle of the business and finding what’s genuinely newsworthy. From a single PR initiative to a fixed engagement or a long-term campaign. One condition: we only take it on if our team believes in the angle. The team is real journalists, editors, and on-air talent from Breakfast Television, CityNews, and Beast Games, paired with senior business strategists.
How we actually work.
Traditional marketing builds the content and pays for the placement. Traditional PR pitches the same press release to a list of news desks and hopes for a callback. Neither model is the one most businesses actually need.
We sit between the two. We analyze every angle of the business — the product, the market, the moment — and find what’s genuinely newsworthy. Then we bring real journalism and real production to it: the same journalists, editors, and on-air talent who used to make those calls inside the newsroom, working beside senior business strategists who understand what the coverage needs to do for the business.
Engagements take any shape — a single PR initiative, a fixed-scope project, or a long-term campaign. We work across both earned editorial and paid placement, and we move stories across borders: broadcast through our Canadian media distribution, and into the United States through our sister firm, TNAADO Labs, Inc. We’re fixers more than we are a vendor — we take the angle on when the team believes in it.
Five concentrations.
Each one is held by people who built it from inside the newsroom, not pitched it from outside. The strategy leads. The coverage follows.
-
C.01.02.01
Earned media & press
Placement in the outlets that actually move a market, secured by people who used to assign the stories. We don’t send a release into the void. We know the desk, the deadline, and the angle that runs.
-
C.01.02.02
Broadcast & on-air placement
Segments, appearances, and on-camera talent across morning television and national news. We know the booking desk because we sat at it, and we know what makes a producer say yes before the pitch is finished.
-
C.01.02.03
Narrative & reputation strategy
Framing, sequencing, and positioning run by senior business strategists. We decide what the market hears first, control the dynamic, and tell the story you want the world to know before anyone tells the one you don’t.
-
C.01.02.04
Industry access & talent
Relationships across networks, production houses, and editorial desks built over careers, not campaigns. Real contacts, real reach, the kind that does not appear on a media list.
-
C.01.02.05
Crisis & defense
Quiet, fast, senior. When the cycle is about to turn against you, we move first, place the right story in the right room, and reset the dynamic before the wrong narrative has time to set.

A team from inside the newsroom.
Journalists, editors, and on-air personalities from Breakfast Television, CityNews, and Beast Games, and more, working alongside senior business strategists.
People who have produced the segment, made the edit, held the camera, and sat across from the audience, paired with operators who know exactly what the business needs the coverage to do. The pedigree is real and the contacts are current. That pairing — real newsroom pedigree plus people who know what the coverage needs to do — is what makes the angle land.
