Junxion Strategy

To me, sustainability is about interconnectedness: how our thoughts and actions can affect the social and environmental health of our surroundings, today and in the future. It’s that grounded sense of place that drives me with my work with clients and colleagues.

With 17 years of agency experience working with scores of non-profit, government and commercial clients, Mary brings a wide breadth of strategic communications counsel and consulting capabilities to Junxion. She has a singular focus on client service, and is of the firm belief that to be effective, communications strategies must be driven by and support an organization’s primary operational objectives.

Curious and analytical, Mary digs deeply with her clients to fully understand both the internal and external landscapes in which they operate. She is a keen strategist and strong writer, skilled at filtering complex concepts into useful information that helps people and organizations to understand new ideas and embrace change.

Mary comes to Junxion after more than 12 years at Porter Novelli Canada. There, she helped to establish its roots as a small independent public relations firm, and as part of the executive team, grow it into one of Canada’s leading full-service communications agencies. During that period, she conceptualized and led the spin-off of a complementary agency, Alchemy PR. As President, she steered its growth for more than three years.

Mary is a member of the board of directors of the BC Sustainable Energy Association, and is an executive of SHIFT, a Vancouver-based community-building initiative that seeks to inspire local, citizen-created action on climate change.
