Who we do it for

Earned media, engineered for impact

Public relations is how modern brands earn authority. It presents your message to the right audience: media, influencers, and decision-makers, ensuring it resonates in a crowded market.

With information overload and AI-generated content flooding every feed, earned media gives your brand something money can’t buy: credibility. Our PR agency services are designed to cut through the noise with timely, targeted storytelling that builds relationships, fuels organic growth, and connects your brand with the audiences who matter most. 

We don’t chase mentions. We create momentum.

Pitch with intention; not “just to pitch”

Strategic PR boosts brand visibility, drives organic traffic, and shapes perception, earning attention that paid ads can’t buy.

Scale with momentum

Whether you’re launching or expanding, PR supports key milestones, builds momentum, and opens doors to new markets and investors.

Smarter stories > loud ones

Effective PR clarifies your message, establishes industry authority, and supports long-term SEO by providing high-quality backlinks.

Reputation is everything

PR and communications management services should focus on strengthening your credibility and protecting your brand when it matters most.

Build long-term trust

Position your thought leaders as go-to experts across interviews, speaking engagements, and op-eds, building audience trust and reinforcing your brand values at every touchpoint.

Fuel your funnel

Strategic PR drives traffic, builds trust, and boosts brand visibility to support every stage of your marketing funnel.

Testimonials

What our clients love about us

We have been working with TIA for 2+ years here at Staples and it's been an absolutely wonderful experience. They bring great energy and knowledge to the table and we have seen a great impact on our social channels ever since they took on our account. Cannot recommend enough!

Guneet Benipal

Manager, Social Media Content

Wow – what an event! We are still buzzing over here. It was truly a memorable evening. The attention to detail was particularly impressive. Every element, from the décor, the drink menu names, the photo booth, the signage, etc., was meticulously planned and executed. It’s clear there was a lot of thought and care into making the event special.

 

We appreciate all the hard work that went into making our new line's launch party successful.

Colleen Roberts

Manager, Media, Global Marketing

The Influence Agency is phenomenal. They’re incredible outside-the-box thinkers and we’re a great alternative to the traditional marketing efforts taken for the NFP I work for. We worked directly with Stephanie and Tom, both who had a high level understanding of the industry and a completely professional approach to social promotion. Looking forward to working with their team again!

Nicki Lamont

Global Digital Lead

Vito Mastrorillo:

President

Having blogged for 10 years and having worked with a plethora of agencies, The Influence Agency team has been one of the top agencies I've connected with. Their ability to both balance creator relations and interests, while maintaining the priorities of their brands is incredibly impressive. As a creator, the team is always supportive and responsive and truly makes developing branded content seamless! I always look forward to working with them!

@melhwang

The Influence Agency put on one of my favorite events ever for the launch of youtheory in Canada! The vibe was unmatched, with staff and creators enjoying themselves equally on the rooftop. It was also very diverse - both men and women were in attendance, which is rare since these events are usually female-dominated. They also didn’t forget us mature creators! It was refreshing to be part of a launch that values my age group. Thank you so much for the invite, TIA! More brands should take a page out of your book.

LaToya Ingleton

Working with The Influence Agency has been an exciting and engaging experience. We appreciate their in-depth knowledge of the influence marketing space and their ability to align our mission with top influencers who help drive awareness of our fundraising initiatives"

Glenn van Gulik

Secretary for PR and Territorial Marketing

It was amazing to work with Stephanie and Kitty on our holiday Influencer programs. Responsive, professional and hard working - perfect partners! - would recommend over and over!

Andrew Verescak

Senior V.P. of Business Development

Working with The Influence Agency to help launch our TikTok and Pinterest ad campaign strategies over the last 9 months was one of the best decisions we've made this year. We searched across Canada for an agency to align with our vision and marketing needs and found that their offerings and ratings were second to none. It's been a dream to work with both the team who were not only terrific and quick communicators (even with the time difference!), but also very professional and knowledgeable - clear experts in their field. We've been happy with our results and would recommend TIA!

Natasha Eng

Director, Social Media and Marketing

At Universal Music, we are frequently tasked with launching new albums and products with little to no notice which can prove challenging for traditional agencies.

The team at the Influence Agency have proven time and time again their ability to be both nimble and efficient at delivering influencer campaigns that are strategically targeted, creative and most importantly impactful with our artists audiences.
