We provide tailored media training, preparing you for a specific interview or sharpening your broader media skills to stay on track and on message.

When facing the media or engaging the public, we ensure your message is clear, effective, and resonant.

Strategic communications and digital campaigns

Compass Rose team members bring a vast range of experience as former senior journalists and government officials. We understand the need to craft a compelling message and know how to make sure it’s heard. Whether you’re running campaigns on traditional channels or engaging Canadians in communities from across the country on social media, we’ll help you target the right audiences with the right voice at the right time. From design and content creation to collateral marketing, our comprehensive approach guarantees your communications are always impactful and aligned to your strategic vision.

Digital government and procurement practice

We help facilitate the solution-driven conversations needed to maximize desired outcomes for Canadians when it comes to accelerating digital government, national security and global competitiveness. Our knowledge of the national and global technology industry, its supply chain, and how small, medium, and large companies operate and deliver services to governments sets us apart from the rest. Our team of experts in digital and public sector engagement can help you engage the government in a meaningful way – whether that is developing business strategies, engaging IT decision makers to advance digital government priorities or providing modern collaborative approaches to procuring complex technology solutions.

Delivering uncommon outcomes

  • Our ongoing work as partners in the natural resources and transportation sectors in support of their transition to a green economy has led to transformational funding for a variety of initiatives. Our sustainable and inclusive approach ensures that rural economic development and Indigenous economic reconciliation continue to be central to our advocacy.

  • Our strategic advice for partners in the non-profit sector has helped to secure considerable funding for humanitarian aid. This critical funding for Canadian organizations operating around the world will help to stabilize deteriotating conditions for security, health and safety in a moment defined by shifting geopolitical landscapes and escalating global tensions.

  • Our deep understanding of the legislative and regulatory environment coupled with our ongoing efforts to build coalitions across party lines spurred important changes and significant funding for broadcasters whose programming provides Canadians with culturally diverse perspectives, minority language news, and broadcasting that provides direct access to our democratic institutions.

  • Compass Rose is growing its capacity to engage with Canadians where they are with a number of strategic initiatives. These include the expansion of digital marketing capabilities, the launch of the Means & Ways platform, the Rural Prosperity Group led by our colleague former Conservative leader Hon. Candice Bergen and our proprietary, best-in-class Out Front election service with a special focus on communities. Compass Rose has expanded its reach to several provinces across Canada and will soon formally open workshop compass rose in Mont-Tremblant, Que., a creative and learning space.
