Established in 1997, Knock on Wood Communications + Events is a responsive, fast-paced marketing and public relations firm focused on maintaining and leveraging expert knowledge of the media and publicity landscape in order to further the communications goals of our clients. Whether that goal is to promote programs, market services, increase public awareness or raise funds, we design strategies tailored to your unique situation.

Our dedicated team of employees and associates provides a complete range of marketing communications services. From strategic planning to creation of advertising collateral to special event planning, promotion and publicity we cover all the angles and execute for maximum impact!

From our MacLaren Street brownstone in downtown Ottawa, we provide black tie results in a business casual environment. We are specialists in hospitality, entertainment and retail sectors and work with Ottawa's best restaurants, biggest festivals and entertainment events as well as valuable charities. We even work closely with various media outlets to produce and promote PR events on their behalf.

While KOW is based in Ottawa we enjoy strategic partnerships with similar agencies across Canada and have project managed bilingual campaigns for clients with interests in Toronto and Montreal as well as Ottawa.

Contract Publicists + Strategic Partners

Along with the aforementioned team members KOW has a pool of talented individuals fluent in both French and English that are regularly hired on both short and long term contract to provide, writing and publicity services.

For projects with geographic reach beyond the National Capital Region, KOW supplements internal resources through strategic partnerships with similar agencies in other cities across Canada.

Our partner agency is also a hospitality and entertainment specialist boasting broad ranging client base and excellent relationships with media and event contacts within their markets. Over the past several years we have worked together to successfully execute events and provide publicity services for respective clients.
