Brigitte Foisy,
Trend Events co-Chair

PR Department & SHARP Magazine

As a respected marketing and communications professional with more than 18 years of experience, Brigitte is passionate about everything she gets involved with.

After holding senior level positions in two leading Canadian PR agencies, Brigitte launched the PR department, a boutique PR consultancy dedicated to partnering with its clients to become their 'internal PR Department', and work seamlessly to achieve their communications and marketing objectives. Her desire is to provide smart, creative, cost effective markcom solutions, expert counsel, superior execution, objective-driven results and unsurpassed ROI. She enjoys being part of her 'partners’ successes and her team's track-record speaks for itself: the PR department portfolio includes campaigns for high profile organizations such as GEOX, The Fashion and Design Festival, Montreal Fashion Week, M0851, Anne-Marie Chagnon jewellery, France Laure Cosmetics, the Telio Design Competition and The Breakfast Clubs of Canada to only name a few.

Brigitte started her career at Montreal's Société Radio Canada (French CBC) and from there developed an impressive portfolio of experience in various fields of expertise including fashion, beauty, retail, food and health, consumer goods and lifestyle PR. Over the years she has gained a solid track record in media relations, event management, new product launches, brand building campaigns, strategic planning, promotions and issue management, disciplines that allowed her to exploit her skills as an innovative and dynamic leader. Her team also specializes in launching brands and products in La Belle Province.

Brigitte is also the Style Editor for SHARP magazine (www.sharpformen.com), Canada’s only national lifestyle magazine for affluent men.
