By Adnews Staff
Toronto-based Blockade Systems Corporation has appointed Maverick Public Relations as its public relations agency-of-record. Maverick will be responsible for promoting Blockade's suite of enterprise network security software products as well as promoting the company worldwide. "Our decision to partner with Maverick Public Relations was based on their experience in extending and building the profile of established technology companies looking for greater visibility in both business and technology media," Blockade's manger of marketing communications, Sean Wainwright, said. He added that Maverick came to the table with a high-level of energy and enthusiasm. Maverick was awarded the account after a competition involving an unconfirmed number of American agencies. Maverick's president Julie Rusciolelli had also previously worked with Blockade's president Chris Killarney. Blockade is the latest addition to Maverick's list of high-tech clients including: Symantec, Tektronix and netMedia.
