About

Welcome to my blog. This is my first as an independent communications advisor. As such, it is a work in progress, so please bear with me as I continue to develop it over the coming months. I’ve been working in communications and management since 1983 in both the private and public sectors. Much of that time was spent at the Canada Council for the Arts, where I managed communications activities–in particular, online communications strategy and tactics– and services to artists. I retired in April of 2010 and have been working independently since then.

My services are directed at three audiences:

-

1) Public and not-for-profit organizations

• Strategic planning in communications and marketing
• Optimizing operations to support communications and service delivery
• Facilitating change

2) Artists and arts organizations

• Tools, information and resources to help artists succeed
• Strategic planning in communications, marketing and networking

3) People interested in the arts and its value to society and related issues in communications technology and social change

• Research and creative work
• Book reviews
