Brown & Cohen Communications & Public Affairs

Founded in 1991 in Toronto, Brown & Cohen Communications & Public Affairs began by blending media relations with government relations for its first client and has since worked with over 250 organizations across the country. The agency serves a broad range of clients, from private companies and professional associations to non-profits, helping them increase their profile, protect reputation, build revenue, grow membership and drive sales. As the exclusive Canadian partner agency of PROI Worldwide, a global network of public relations agencies founded in 1970 with partners across five continents, Brown & Cohen also extends its reach to international campaigns through this affiliation. Accounts are managed day-to-day by senior professionals with backgrounds in public relations, journalism, government and digital marketing. The agency describes itself as a full-service communications and marketing provider, with declared capabilities spanning search engine optimization, public relations, branding, email marketing, graphic design and web development. Its fastest-growing service areas are noted as crisis communications and social media and digital marketing. Work is illustrated through case studies with clients such as Deloitte Private Company Services, Professional Engineers Ontario, Women's Brain Health Initiative and 360º Kids, covering media relations and issue-driven communications campaigns. The combination of senior-led account management and a global partner network is positioned as supporting both national campaigns and organizations seeking international communications reach.
