Public Relations

Aldona B’s love of communications and the arts truly expanded over 15 years ago when she began working as a publicist for Alberta Theatre Projects. At Aldona B Creative we specialize in Public Relations (PR) within the entertainment and lifestyle sectors, with an emphasis on theatre and film, as well as book/publishing PR. We are fortunate to work with a diverse group of talented businesses and individuals on a range of small projects to larger campaigns, and can support you with all of your PR needs.  

When you work with us, we provide you with a PR strategy offering targeted media outreach, while working with you to craft distinct and customized messaging for print, radio and online media. We will focus on core messaging that resonates with your current and desired audience, while reaching as many media outlets and readers as possible to increase your brand’s exposure and awareness to assist with sales through earned media. We’ve helped theatre companies, lifestyle brands, musicians, restaurants, lifestyle coaches, authors and plenty of other creative individuals and businesses to get noticed through strong, accurate and targeted messaging.
