"Marketing, PR and brand management are key business requirements for non-profit and for-profit organizations. Alchemy Communications provides expertise and exceptional support in key areas such as strategic marketing, media relations and crisis communications services, they have specialized expertise in fund development, sponsorship, grants, government relations and nonprofit communications. This unique combination of knowledge and skills make them an invaluable partner for organizations in our community, especially those who operate in the non-profit space.

I’m impressed by their commitment to living their values of equity, diversity and inclusion and their continued focus on growing these capacities alongside their clients making them an ideal fit for organizations of any size.

As much of my work is specialized to creating value in the non-profit and public sector, I would recommend any non profit organization looking for outstanding, dedicated support to explore what Alchemy has to offer, you will be glad that you did!"

“Kathryn and her team at Alchemy Communications were a guiding force during a year of significant transition at Calgary Pride. Not only did they help us navigate change, they helped us meet the demands of media interests while working through challenging community conversations, further managing homophobic and transphobic (including threats of violence) commentary on our social media platforms.

In addition, their work with the Calgary Pride team led to our highest levels of digital engagement and community profile, increasing LGBTQ2S+ awareness and maximizing impact for corporate partners.

Further, Kathryn, Lauren and Robyn were humble in their approach to working with us, taking every opportunity to learn more about the communities we serve, including volunteering their time to attend Anti-Racist Organizational Change training, alongside Calgary Pride staff and volunteers. They were at all times, professional, direct, honest and gracious under pressure.”

— Shone Thistle, President, Calgary Pride

“Each month, IAP2 USA and IAP2 Canada present a learning webinar, as one of our services to members. Among the webinar topics are presentations from the preceding North American Conference, chosen from evaluations filled out by the attendees. We specifically ask the attendees whether a session should be shared more broadly in a webinar. I'm pleased to let you know that your session, Cancel Culture and Communications Planning: Towards an Accountability Mindset, scored among the highest in that area. We’re pleased to invite you back to reprise this webinar!

“I would say that Alchemy’s level of support and customer service are excellent. For the Lost and Found Campaign, they helped us designing an effective marketing and communications strategy with a unique visual identity and effective messaging. Alchemy was also flexible and adaptable when it came to changes in the plan. At the end of the day the Campaign was a success, exceeding its goal by 30%.”

— Jorge Torres, Fund Development Manager, The Brenda Strafford Centre

“Cenera was looking for a full-service marketing and communications firm that could help us develop and execute a structured marketing strategy. We wanted to partner with a group who could help us inject creativity and energy into our efforts and, following an extensive RFP process, we knew Alchemy would do just that.

We have been working with Alchemy since June 2019. Kathryn and Lauren took the time to get to know us – our service offerings, our audience and our personalities – and transitioned this knowledge into a monthly marketing campaign that has increased the visibility and awareness of Cenera’s services and products. Lauren is an exceptional writer, is incredibly responsive and is masterful at integrating our thoughts and ideas into the content she produces. Alchemy’s collaborative approach to marketing has allowed us to share our voice with our community in ways we couldn’t have accomplished on our own.”

— Jennifer Doiron, Partner, Cenera

“Choosing Alchemy Communications to provide strategic communications support has been a game changer for the Alberta Association of Midwives. Alchemy developed and executed a marketing and brand plan, designed our new website, produces our podcast, and provides ongoing expertise and support.

Our aim was to increase public and inter-professional awareness and to enhance the visibility, reputation and recognition of Alberta midwives and midwifery. The results have far exceeded our expectations thanks to Alchemy. Their amazing team delivers on its commitments, is flexible around our changing business needs, has exceptional communication, and has approached our work with professionalism, passion and good humour.

Communications firms like Alchemy are rare. We can only sum this up by saying that, if you are looking for a firm that will bring exceptional value to your organization for your investment, you have just found it. We commend Alchemy Communications to you without hesitation. We simply cannot say enough positive about them and what they’ve done for us!”

— Lolly de Jonge, CEO, Alberta Association of Midwives

“Kathryn led our senior leadership team through media and crisis communication training that blew us away. The entire team was completely engaged the whole time. Kathryn’s ability to deliver theory with loads of opportunity to practice that theory through role-playing, and other tactics, set the stage for a dynamic and engaging training environment that facilitated learning, while also making us accountable for our learning and made role-playing fun!

Kathryn is refreshingly down-to-earth, clear and concise. Her knowledge of the industry is profound. She left us with the confidence, knowledge and tools we need should a crisis arise, peppered with just enough discomfort and uneasiness to motivate us to refresh our crisis communication plan and to keep it top of mind at all times.”

— Christine McIver, Founder & CEO, Kids Cancer Care

“Kids Up Front contracted Kathryn for Social Media strategic planning and training for our team. As a small local charity, we saw opportunities to tell our story through social media. Through a grant received from Telus Community Foundation, we were able to engage Kathryn’s expertise and insight to ensure our activities and approach were effective and efficient.”
