JUNIPER COMMUNICATIONS AND ENERGY PLUS JOIN FORCES
By Adnews Staff
Juniper Communications, based in Oakville, Ontario, and Energy Plus, based in Burlington, Ontario, have joined forces to form Praxis Public Relations Inc. Partners Maureen Juniper and Paula Oreskovich, founders of Juniper and Energy Plus respectively, merged their PR consulting practices to create the full-service communications company. Juniper explained the two partners had known each other a long time, had previously worked together and shared the same vision for the future. Praxis' office in Burlington has three employees but the company has a network of independent communications consultants, Juniper explained, that Praxis can call upon on an "as needed basis." "Our model allows us to access this pool of talent, without the huge overheads that traditional agencies experience," she said. Praxis Public Relations offers marketing communication and public relations services to clients in a variety of industries including consumer products, health care, financial services, insurance, retail and high technology, counting Pepsi-Cola Canada, Manulife Financial and The HH Brown Shoe Co. among its clients.
