Barrie Cohen Public Relations
What strategies do you use to manage brand reputation?We focus on consistency, transparency, and proactive storytelling. We monitor online sentiment closely and ensure our clients’ values are reflected in all communications from media pitches to social content. Building trust over time is our #1 strategy.
How do you handle crisis communication effectively?We respond quickly with a calm, solution-focused tone, gather facts before reacting, and work with the client to own the narrative rather than letting others shape it.
What role does social media play in modern PR?Social media is a direct line to the public – it’s where stories break, evolve, and live. We use it to amplify media wins, respond in real-time, build community, and humanize brands daily.
How do you tailor messaging to different audiences?We always start by understanding the audience – what they care about, where they engage, and how they speak. From there, we adjust tone, language, and platform. A message on LinkedIn for professionals won’t land the same way it would on Instagram or in a podcast.
What’s been one of your most successful PR campaigns?One standout was our campaign with MMA champion Georges St-Pierre for Hydrorevolution. We blended national media, podcast outreach, and influencer content to generate major buzz. It was high-impact because it aligned story, audience, and strategy perfectly.
How do you stay ahead in a fast-paced news cycle?We’re always listening through alerts, social trends, journalist conversations, and cultural moments. We also stay flexible, so we can pivot quickly when news breaks.
What’s your advice for those entering the PR industry?Be resourceful, stay curious, and lead with empathy. PR is about people, not just press. If you build real relationships and stay consistent, your voice (and your clients’) will be heard.
