What our clients say
From short-term project to long-term impact
"When I brought Jacquelynn in to do a short-term project, she proved to be so valuable that the contract was extended for several years.
Building and navigating relationships with a global head office, she created a talented Canadian communications and marketing team - who brought a professional approach to our highly-public acquisitions, conferences and events, internal communications, and much more.
Jacquelynn understands the full spectrum of communications and marketing, and led our team with business priorities top of mind."
Tom Whalen
Energy sector leader and former President
From media to messaging — results delivered
"With Red Star’s expertise, our organization has seen the value of professional communication. Jacquelynn has worked with our leaders on a range of efforts, from handling media and issues, to developing content, events and speaking notes. We can say that she knows her stuff - and is a dependable resource for a company without in-house communications."
Donna Mitchel
Executive Manager, Administration
Leadership when it matters most
"I've had the good fortune to work with Jacquelynn at both Mount Royal University and Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. She brings the right strategic support at the right time—whether it's short-term crisis communications or long-term team leadership. A respected communications leader with exceptional judgment and a tireless work ethic, she's an invaluable partner."
Melanie Rogers, Vice-President, Community Engagement
Invaluable leadership partner
"I've worked with Jacquelynn in a couple of companies, where she was hired because we didn't have in-house communications. In both cases, her work demonstrated the value of having a strong communicator working closely with the executive, and she created and eventually handed off high-performing communication teams.
She raises the bar on internal and external communication, proves the worth of strategic communication through change, and is an invaluable partner for HR and leadership teams."
Michele Whelan
HR Executive & former Vice President, People & Culture
