“Stacey has been a colleague and trusted advisor for many years. She has been, and continues to be, a sounding board or a strategist who helps me work through complex issues. She has provided advice and delivered executive coaching, community engagement, media relations, and crisis response. Her toolkit is overflowing: she has also composed annual reports and community accountability documents, written a complete corporate Web site, and overseen employee charitable events. Stacey is a consummate professional. I recommend her without reservation.”
“Stacey provides straightforward, strategic counsel. If you are headed down the wrong path, she will advise you and help re-adjust your course to reach your destination via a better route. Stacey meets deadlines and budgets. She is an accomplished writer and editor. She plans and executes successful events. She coordinates advertising buys and conducts media monitoring. She does crisis communications planning. She is an adept spokesperson who has conducted countless media interviews, and is equally skilled in coaching executives for interviews.”
“At a time when I was trying to tell the world my story of a product I was making for a very niche market, I was referred to Stacey Pineau. Stacey embraced the communications project with enthusiasm, imagination and excitement. Her suggestions, all of which I followed, led me into a realm beyond my wildest dreams and with marvelous results. Her ideas continue to resonate five years later. Stacey helped give my product the attention it deserved and this has led to a very real success story.”
“I have drawn on Stacey Pineau’s advice and counsel for a wide range of communications challenges over the last 15 years. She is a joy to work with: always calm and common-sensical, always laser-focused on outcomes. She has deep knowledge and understanding of the communications environment in Atlantic Canada and the rest of the country. She knows what will work and what won’t. She continually surprises me with non-obvious, creative solutions. She has a rare ability to remain tactful, collaborative, and supportive, while delivering tough but necessary advice. In a field awash in bullshit and bullshitters, Stacey will be a beacon of clarity for your organization.”
“Out of the blue a couple of years ago, I telephoned Stacey with a story idea. As a reporter for The New York Times who covers golf, I was coming to Nova Scotia somewhat on vacation, but while I was there, I wanted someone (Stacey) to come up with an itinerary for me and my family that included visiting various golf courses, historic sights and hotels – and I wanted to see just about the entire province. I had a brief time frame in mind but not much else. Stacey not only found a way to do it, she handled every detail quickly, pleasantly and with the perfect balance of professionalism and personal interest. The trip produced a well-received and well-read story in The Times. And, since then, Stacey has kept her eye out for other stories I might be interested in, and her tips led to another large feature story in The NY Times.”
“Summer Street exists to create and facilitate opportunity and a better life for adults with intellectual disability. I was responsible for marketing and communications during one of the most difficult crossroads in the organization’s history. Summer Street had just been unionized and was negotiating their first collective agreement. This was new territory and tensions were extremely high on all sides. Stacey was instrumental in guiding the management team, crafting messaging and managing communications. Her calm, confidence and professionalism are exceptional. Equally important, she is compassionate and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Stacey Pineau provided strategic counsel during a period of unsought public attention when dealing with a potential work stoppage at HCRS in the midst of collective bargaining. She provided invaluable support in crafting the HCRS messages, accompanied by coaching on timing and delivery for the intended audience. Stacey also managed and monitored media interaction during this period. Stacey provided a complete suite of professional communications services during a critical period of unwanted & negative public attention.”
“Stacey Pineau has performed project evaluation on two separate occasions for our organization. She was very thorough in her work, easy to talk to, flexible in her schedule and knowledgeable about the processes and procedures concerning research and evaluation. I have recommended Stacey to other organizations in the past and will continue to do so. I would not hesitate to hire her again if the opportunity arises.”
