Stephen Petit
Stephen teamed with Doug Siefkes in 2004 after working as an editor and partner at a business-to-business publishing company in Toronto. "Good PR tells a story about your product or service," Stephen explains. "When that story is compelling, people don't feel they're being marketed to. They just appreciate hearing ideas that help or inspire them."
