It has been our pleasure working with you and all at Red Rocket on (the Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s book and media package). We received many accolades on our products – from media people on the media kits to tourists on the books!  We even donated 1,000 of the postcards to the Vancouver Athlete’s Village during the Olympic Games so that athlete’s could write home to loved ones (which also promotes the Nation via our website listed on the back!).

I would like to offer my personal thanks for the great contribution (Contemporary Communications) made in assisting the BC Pacific Salmon Forum in the release of our Final Report.

You very ably stepped in at a critical time and … the content, presentation and public release of our Final Report went much more smoothly than we could have anticipated. To be able to take on such a controversial subject with no ‘learning curve’ is a demonstration of the skill and talent of your company. You are to be commended for a job well done.

Hon. John A Fraser
Chair, B.C. Pacific Salmon Forum

“We would like to express our gratitude to you and your company for all the expert advice and guidance during our recent media “experience.” Boy, did we ever learn a lot.”

In working with consultants, my approach is to work as partners and not the traditional client-consultant scenario. That’s how I like to work.

As well, it is important that a communications consulting firm invest the time to learn my business – which is complex – and Contemporary Communications has done that in a relatively short time. They respond quickly to requests for services and meet deadlines.
