Welcome to the new StratOak.com!


The last couple of months have been very busy. Lots of conversations and coffees with great and talented people getting their perspectives on the communications industry, where the opportunities are going forward, and how StratOak can best serve its clients. Thanks to everyone I spoke with for their willingness to connect, share, and support. Your generosity has been incredible!


This site lays out the key areas of focus for StratOak:

·        Strategic Communications

·        Media and Presentation Training

·        Your News Direct -- In-House Newsrooms


My goal at StratOak is to put my experience to work for you. Twenty years of experience as a reporter, producer, and executive running some of the most successful Canadian newsrooms through a huge period of industry change has taught me a lot, and I’m here to help.


Take a look around, and let me know what you think!
