Headquartered across North America, Talk Shop stands out as a leading full-service communications agency adept at navigating the complexities of modern communications through expertise in public relations, digital marketing, and content creation. The past year has seen substantial growth for Talk Shop, driven primarily by geographical expansion into the United States. Opening their first physical office in Los Angeles has been a strategic move, allowing the agency to better serve existing clients with US interests, tap into new opportunities, and expand their service offerings beyond Canada. Additionally, the agency welcomed Krystin Lee as a new owner and partner, whose extensive experience and fresh perspective are expected to drive further growth and innovation. On the client front, the agency expanded its service offerings, providing more integrated solutions to key clients such as Touchbistro, Embark, and GroupHealth. Talk Shop also deepened its corporate communications work, securing major accounts with clients like TECK, Vancouver Coastal Health, and Oceana Gold. This expansion has not only increased revenue streams but also provided the team with opportunities to enhance their strategic expertise.
