Nixey Communications—one of Vancouver’s top crisis management and strategic communications consultancies—has joined Strategic Impact Collective, led by public affairs expert Ange Valentini.
“I’m thrilled that Nixey Communications is joining our team,” said Ange Valentini, founder of Strategic Impact Collective. “After years of collaborating to advance progressive causes in British Columbia, the United States, and Canada, I’m so happy that Nixey Communications has found a home for clients who represent our shared values.”
“Strategic Impact Collective is a natural home for us,” explained Nixey. “Ms. Valentini’s approach to strategy, diversity, and inclusion—and her approach to community engagement, government relations, and delivering real change—make this the perfect fit. Ange is a natural leader, a great friend, and a thought-leader in Canada’s public affairs world.”
