About PR Diva

A good marketing firm listens first, talks second. We listen to our client's goals, ideas, budgets, timelines, experiences and expertise. We lsiten to the marketplace, the media, the buzz. Then we put it all together to create a powerful message delivered to the people who matter to you.

Gwendolynn Gawlick is the founder and project mastermind. Gwendolynn's background includes a degree in linguistics and literature, 5 years in traditional advertising, working with online PR Guru Steve O'Keefe, teaching workshops and university courses in marketing, and over ten years helping clients big and small put their visions to work.

Being a small shop allows PR Diva to keep billing rates reasonable, and to provide special attention to all our clients. We work with some very talented web and print designers, media buyers, as well as other publicists on a teamwork contract basis when the project demands it. This way, we utilize the talents of the best professionals in the business without the big business price tag.

If we can't take on your project, then chances are we can recommend someone who can. Don't hesitate to drop us a line or give us a call.
