TORONTO PR AND INVESTOR RELATIONS FIRMS GAINING MOMENTUM
By Adnews Staff
Investor relations firm Hume, Kieran Inc. and Fantail Communications, which specializes in branding and public relations strategies, have integrated their operations to form Momentum IR/PR. The Toronto-based operation is jointly owned by Fantail founder and president Jim Warrington and Hume, Kieran principals Catherine Hume and Jon Kieran. Hume said her firm decided earlier this year to do something about the fact that they did not offer clients PR services. The two shops came together after Hume, Kieran met with a half dozen agencies and responded to leads generated from a print ad the firm placed in a trade magazine. Momentum IR/PR will offer public companies integrated public and investor relations programs. Services will include financial communications, outreach to brokerage industry professionals, communications planning, digital strategy and public and media relations.
