EDC has worked with the Syntax team for over two years and they have consistently demonstrated they are true experts with real and proven expertise in public relations, strategic communications and media strategy and coaching. Their attention to detail, ability to anticipate our needs, and responsiveness have been a huge asset for our organization. Syntax goes above and beyond to ensure results are delivered on time and on target. Above all, we trust them for their professional and honest advice knowing they have EDC's best interest at heart.
Syntax Strategic is the best PR firm I have ever worked with. They have gone above and beyond the call of duty every step of the way. Out of all of our six Canadian show towns, no other firm works harder and more efficiently. I would not imagine running an event campaign without them on my side.
Syntax's knowledge and first-hand experience manoeuvring through and meeting federal government expenditure reporting requirements made our work together seamless. Their flair for storytelling helped us bring our unique value proposition to life resulting in a quality report with a strong narrative.
Syntax recently developed a communications strategy for our team. It was an absolutely awesome product that was extremely helpful in our efforts to position our project's need while offering a clear value proposition to federal government stakeholders. Syntax's performance and professionalism throughout the engagement was invaluable.
Syntax Strategic has been an excellent choice for Calian in supporting our public relations and marketing efforts. Jennifer and her team are subject matter experts in communications. From my viewpoint, they have exceeded my expectations in helping move forward the Calian story and supporting our growth strategy.
Syntax Strategic is a team of outstanding professionals. They have drive, passion and talent, and have always shown commitment and a clear orientation to results with their clients. Jennifer has built a great team and Tremblant Living is very proud to have Syntax Strategic as a PR consultant – the results have been spectacular.
Without exception I can say that Syntax’s greatest strength is the team’s ability to listen well and quickly assess what’s needed to achieve desired outcomes. I’ve learned I can count on them for professional advice and efficient, effective execution. Some consultants are good thinkers and some are good ‘do-er’s’ – the Syntax Strategic team is both.
I have had the pleasure of working with the Syntax Strategic team for several years now. They are creative, responsive, organized and strategic. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dynamic team that will deliver results.
I have had the pleasure of working with Jennifer and her team over the last year on a number of projects. Their ability to capture a story, and the precision with which they tell it, never ceases to amaze me. They have become a very valuable extension to our organization.
It was a pleasure working with the professionals at Syntax Strategic in getting word out on Axis Ottawa. We were limited in time and budget and they came through all the way. Lots of excellent media coverage, including television and radio spots, and several print articles. I recommend Jennifer and the rest of the Syntax team and plan to work with them again in the future.
I have had the opportunity to work with Jennifer on a number of projects. She has demonstrated a solid and diverse communications background and has continuously shown exceptional media relation skills. She is reliable and efficient, creative and forward-thinking. I would highly recommend her and her firm.
Jennifer is an incredibly valued member of the CIPMA team. She brings great insights, knowledge, enthusiasm and versatility to the table. Jen grounded herself quickly in our sector and our issues and immediately found ways to enhance our GR and communications efforts. She is professional, creative, yet practical and overall makes a huge contribution to CIPMA.
Jennifer is one of the most organized and task-focused individuals whom I have ever had the privilege to work with. She has a laser-like commitment to meeting deliverables and a seemingly endless reserve of energy with which to produce them. She is quite simply one of the most dynamic Canadian communicators around.
