Agency Statement:
At Citizen Relations our mission is to make every conversation count. We believe (and prove) that conversations are the key to changing opinions, attitudes and behaviors and a leading factor in causing actions and transactions, which is why we’re obsessed with making them count each and every time.Citizen offers a full scope of capabilities including consumer marketing, corporate communications, social media, digital strategy and planning, influencer marketing & data and analytics. The agency operates from eight offices in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Quebec City, New York, Los Angeles, Irvine and London. As part of the PLUS Company, Citizen often works in partnership with our network of sister agencies to enhance client programs whenever it’s required.
We’re trusted strategic partners to our clients, providing advice and counsel, building unique strategies, journey modeling and big creative ideas, or leveraging our breadth of digital expertise to drive performance and relevance and maximize outcomes. With our design-to-execution model, we design teams based on the needs of our clients, meaning no two teams look exactly alike. As a continuation of Citizen’s values, our people and DE&I are at the core of Citizen’s culture, defining the behaviors and traditions of how we work together, how we hire, our training curriculums, internship partnership programs and performance management. We partner with several organizations to drive diversity within our own teams, but also take on pro bono work with important causes our teams feel strongly about, which largely focus on societal and environmental issues.
From an industry perspective, Citizen’s expertise focuses on CPG, Food & Beverage, Automotive, Financial Services, Retail & e-commerce, Consumer Health, Social Impact, DE&I, Travel & Tourism, among others.
