Anita Wong: As a journalist, I get at least one to three dozen pitches from PR people a day. Most are completely irrelevant. Then there are the e-mails I get from Anita, who brings me unique interview opportunities that are tailored specifically to my audience (which, at B2BNN, represents a niche within a niche). This is not just rare in media circles; it's unique. Anita will probably be the person most surprised to find herself on this list, but the truth is I trust her as a PR person as much as I would someone working in a newsroom alongside me, and I know many other editors and reporters who would agree.</description><pubDate>Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/iwd-2019-10-bosses-co-workers-comrades-who-taught-me-shane-schick/?trackingId=hsxvKbjZzN9qP6l8y4BseA%3D%3D</guid></item><item><title>Kevin Molloy</title><link>https://www.linkedin.com/in/anitawnwong/details/recommendations/</link><description>I worked with Anita for several years when she was running our PR and marketing efforts in Canada for Procore, and I could not have been more impressed with her. Anita worked tirelessly to bring our stories and impact to a larger audience, generating millions of impressions about our work and partnerships. 

Anita is a brilliant marketer and public relations expert, with deep expertise in strategic communications and impact marketing. In 2024 alone, she created countless stories, case studies, events and contributed to major thought leadership research such as How We Build Now Canada. 

In all these endeavors, Anita was an absolute pleasure to work with. She's a natural leader, a strategic thinker, and was a huge asset to my team and to Procore.</description><pubDate>Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.linkedin.com/in/anitawnwong/details/recommendations/</guid></item><item><title>How Ontario’s Students — and Teachers — are Benefitting from a Goal to Forever Change Childhood Education</title><link>https://www.thestar.com/business/how-ontarios-students-and-teachers-are-benefitting-from-a-goal-to-forever-change-childhood-education/article_2e62e3c6-79af-11ef-b0f9-0fb78f73dee5.html</link><description>Worked with Nelson to raise awareness of the company’s transformation from a text-book publisher  to an education content provider.
