Women supporting women ✊
This fourth-wave feminist practice is alive and well in the PR lives of @rockitdeb , @jenmcneely79 and @andreasgrau - all of whom are doing their part to bring women together and keep media alive.
Jen and Deb have known each other for over 20 years, with everything in common from being women fighting “the man”, their time at Alliance, and their successful companies being acquired by Touchwood PR.
In this narrative piece about friendship and hard work, SDTC’s founder Jen McNeely sits down with Deb G to reminisce about the good ol’ days, Deb’s massive contribution to the PR landscape in Toronto, and to discuss the recent acquisition of rock-it by the same women who saw something vital in Jen’s site, #shedoesthecity, back in 2021.
The perfect story to share with you all this #InternationalWomensDay Read the full piece using our linktree.
Love,
SheDoesTheCity❤️

“What did you learn about yourself doing @pioneergirlseries ”
“I learned I can be brave”. ❤️ love watching my friend @katbarrell in this series being bold and beautiful.
Pleasure to speak to this dynamic team about the latest show from @bell that is funny, fast paced, AND educational (!) and just the right amount of weird! 😂🙂

PR @rockitdeb
On January 1, rock-it turned 25. To say it's a milestone I'm proud of doesn't quite do it justice. I started the company without a business degree or PR background – just a whole lot of tenacity, hard work, passion, and more hard work. Today, I announce that the business has been acquired by my dear friend and colleague, @andreasgrau , and her firm @touchwood_pr . I'm so excited for this new chapter. Thank you to all my clients, staff, and media for your support. This isn't the end; it's just a new beginning.
my beautiful, funny, smart first born. you have added magic to my life since the moment you landed in my arms. you are an incredible artist, a compassionate friend, patient sister and an all around uniquely funny, quirky human who brings light and love into SO many people's lives. don't ever change. we love you so much. happy sweet 16.
