Media Relations

Our Work

The Canadian International AutoShow is Canada’s largest consumer and trade show, annually welcoming more than 350,000 visitors to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre over 10 days in February. Since we started engaging the media for the AutoShow, it has set record attendance numbers both for the overall attendance at the Show and a single-day high and helped the AutoShow earn 3,183 media mentions, reaching a potential audience in excess of 1.7 billion since 2019.

What Sets Us Apart

With a staff of 50 – that includes eight former journalists who maintain strong and enduring relationships with journalists, influencers and national, provincial and local media outlets – we have the up-to-the-minute knowledge of the media and experience to make the right connections at the right time to deliver results.

We have a proven track record of developing compelling story ideas, identifying the right platforms for reaching target audiences and directly engaging journalists and influencers to drive earned coverage.
