Coming to Ottawa? We can organize media visits, including helping with access to attractions and events, coordinating interviews, planning itineraries and assisting with transportation and accommodation. Various factors influence the level of assistance we can provide, including the theme or topic of your report, the outlet in which the coverage will appear, the amount of time we have to coordinate, and the target market of the report, among others.
