We Are Storytellers
The arts and culture are an integral part of our daily lives. Together, we can encourage more people to care about them.
Founded in 2005 by veteran publicist Suzanne Cheriton, RedEye Media is a strategic communications consulting and media relations firm dedicated to arts and entertainment and serving leading festival, film, television, and performing arts clients across Canada. Distinguished by a depth of experience, cross-industry knowledge—and not to mention a killer work ethic—we believe that successful storytelling can stem organically, and thoughtfully, from our partners’ values and vision.
As the media landscape evolves, look to the RedEye family for a turnkey client approach that can further integrate experiential marketing, brand consultation, influencer relations and new audience cultivation. With a deeply felt commitment to our work and understanding of the broader cultural conversation, our end goal is to keep the artistic community alive and thriving—let’s do it together.
