TESTIMONIALS

I’ve known and worked with Elaine Quan for over 13 years. I first met Elaine when I was working as an Editor at a top women’s magazine, and she has always impressed me. In working with the media—Elaine is my top go-to PR consultant. Elaine is solutions based and timely, she creates news-worthy content and handles quick deadlines and turn around like no one else in the business. She always anticipates the needs of clients and the media.

Elaine is a joy to work with—the media view her as one of us and she has entrée into media and influencer inner circles. Elaine has earned this position by being effective, interesting, organized, kind, creative and fun. Elaine is a class act and is a cherished part of the North American PR/ media landscape.

EPQR, led by Elaine Quan, is an incredible company that guided and led the Asian Gold Ribbon campaign to national recognition and success. As well, we reached 31,252,900 impressions over 80 countries in 6 weeks and could not have achieved our success without Elaine. As an academic and psychologist, I had no idea how to navigate media and public relations to get our message out to fight and stand in solidarity against anti-Asian racism. Elaine’s breadth and depth of experience, her connections, and know-how about the big and small details... as well as her encouragement and genuine support of our mission, was foundational. Her vision and integrity as well as her no-nonsense approach, communication skills, and overall PR management is outstanding. I can’t say enough!

I’ve worked with many public relations professionals here in Canada and the U.S.. Elaine is a clear stand out and sets the bar high amongst her peers. Her client roster has always been impressive and she has always delivered pitches that are not only interesting but relevant to the outlets I write for and their audiences. I know when Elaine brings forth a story idea that it has been done with purpose. She will always get my attention as I know that she’s genuinely interested in getting the right exposure for her clients. Her attention to detail is breathtaking.
