  • It costs tens of thousands of dollars to buy advertising space in newspapers. Those ads are seen briefly, and they rarely make it into a Minister’s briefing package or catch the eye of investors or key stakeholders. A published opinion editorial, however, lives forever. And better than news articles, it reflects your point-of-view clearly and succinctly.

    Trying to move the needle with the government? Don’t rely solely on lobbyist meetings to influence their policies. Advocate for the changes you want in the pages of Canada’s most important newspapers.

    Want to keep investors interested? Tell your real story. Grow your thought leadership. Share your ideas on how to grow the business. Or better yet, argue why change is needed.

  • Whether you are motivating your staff, delivering a keynote at an industry conference, or providing critical updates to investors for your quarterly results, your voice matters. It can inspire growth and move the market. We help you say what you mean and resonate powerfully.

  • An absolute essential for new CEOs or executive leaders in their first 100 days. For long-standing leaders, this can be used to prepare for a major campaign, announcement or transition.

  • Texture looks under the hood and analyzes internal and external communications for message drift, misalignment, or missed opportunities. We develop recommendations to course correct and coach your communications team on execution.

  • For organizations going through a leadership change. Texture writes all the internal and external key messages, preps the communications team, and briefs the board.

  • Texture develops a planning tool and quarterly workshops to ensure adaptability and execution. Together, this builds a full year of moments of influence.
