testimonialsWestJet
"In the Airline Business - if a flight departs without a guest in the seat then that revenue is never recovered - the commodity spoils. At WestJet we manage our revenue and costs very closely due to the nature of the business and what I really appreciate about Brookline Public Relations is their ability to understand our situation. Their PR and Communication Strategies for WestJet are focused on the bottom line - understanding that every dollar we spend must generate a return on the investment for our shareholders - so the communication strategies need to be focused on results. We will only do business with companies that really understand this philosophy and work to our bottom line - Brookline understands this model and has and continues to deliver."
Sean Durfy, President
Wedge Networks
"The ability to deliver innovative technology and effectively communicate our values and thought leadership to the market make Wedge Networks the leader in the highest performance web security solution market. Brookline is a great partner in helping Wedge Networks crystallize and deliver its messages. Brookline has strong communication backgrounds in the highly competitive information technology and network communication security space. They were very quick to build a good understanding of our core values. This, plus the dedication and the ability to work agilely with our team, allowed us to deliver consistent news releases and publications. They are an integral part of our team."
Hongwen Zhang, CEO
Broth Brothers & Soup Sisters
"I would like to extend a sincere thank-you to the Brookline team for their exceptional execution of media relations surrounding the official launch of Soup Sisters and Broth Brothers. We enjoyed a fabulous event and made an enormous amount of soup for The Doorway (a local not-for-profit organization). I feel privileged to have had the assistance of Brookline; their contribution had a valuable impact on the success of our event."

Calgary Stampede
"Brookline Public Relations has coordinated a number of events for the Calgary Stampede during my term as President. Personally I have been impressed with their organization, very smooth, attentive to details and always calm and cheerful. Easy to work with no matter how intense the situation."
George Brookman, President and Chairman of the Board
Calgary Health Region
"My impression of the focus group work that Brookline did was that it was a fantastic use of our marketing dollars. It is quite literally the best money we have ever spent on marketing, and saved us from making an $80,000 mistake. I would absolutely recommend their services."
Thomas McMillan, Manager, Strategic Communications & Outcome Evaluation
The Globe and Mail
"Shauna is like a strong reporter, a person with a keen eye for a good story, rather than just peddling yet another put-me-to-sleep press release. It's this style that separates Brookline Public Relations from so many others in the PR business and helps Brookline forge strong connections with journalists."
Dave Ebner
Common Wealth Credit Union
"From the first suggestion of media training for our key Executive Management, to the disciplines required to maximize the media machine in the launch of our Young & Free initiative at Common Wealth Credit Union; we experienced world class professionalism, expert positioning and just the right burst of energy whenever it was required. This was our first engagement of Brookline PR and it certainly won't be our last. We have never experienced this level of success in our corporate history... Thanks Brookline... you can teach an old dog new tricks!"
Jeff Mulligan, President & Chief Executive Officer

I am more than pleased with Brookline and have no hesitation in recommending the company as strongly as possible to whomever is seeking similar services."
