Why Canadian teams make the switch.
You don't need a global platform to reach Canadian journalists. You need the right contact, the right list, and coverage you can follow. Without the enterprise price tag.
You pay for Canada, not the world
Every contact is a Canadian newsroom, program, or journalist. Print, web, radio, TV, and blogs. Nothing you pay for sits unused on another continent.
Bilingual by default
French and English media, fully covered, with software and support in both official languages. Built for the way communications actually work in this country.
A price you can just say yes to
$695 a year, published up front. No quote, no procurement cycle, no multi-year commitment to reach the press.
Built for how you work.
Trusted by Canadian communicators since 1984.
