When Experience Matters
Successful project execution relies on focus and the people to carry out the work.
- Phoebe Yong, Principal– As principal of Magnolia Communications, Phoebe has spearheaded the organization since it was founded in 2006. Establishing great and meaningful relationships is premier for her, especially with her clients. She’s led the agency from a one person operation to a team of great professionals with one goal in mind – delivering the best results that make their clients smile from ear to ear. It’s called the Magnolia way.
- Sarah Quon, Marketing Specialist - Sarah has a wealth of experience in corporate branding, strategic media planning and managing successful marketing campaigns and events. Most recently, she worked in recruitment advertising, managing the recruitment marketing requirements of clients such as Vancouver Coastal Health, TRIUMF and Ainsworth. She has worked for both client and agency side and has handled, planned and implemented fresh solutions for high net worth clients.
- Louise Raffa, Senior Communications Specialist – Louise is a seasoned communications professional. She brings her great sense of humour, style, and wealth of experience to the Magnolia team. With over 20 years of marketing communications, event management and business development experience, she has a knack for knowing what to say, how to say it and when. Her career has included work in a wide variety of industries – from law firms, investment firms, technology companies and international non-profit groups, to local community organizations and small business owners. With a background in liberal arts and the Securities Program at Simon Fraser University, she is also a graduate of SFU’s Writing and Publishing Program with certificates in Editing and Business Communications/Professional Writing. Louise is a member of the Editors’ Association of Canada.
- Jamil Karim, Communications Specialist – Jamil is a PR hound. Having worked as an editor for Vancouver based publication, Good News, he knows what it’s like to be pitched. He also ran all social media platforms for the outlet and served as editor and lead writer for online and printed articles. At Magnolia, he has traded his journalism hat for a PR one. A hat he is wearing well.
- Eudora Koh, Communications Specialist – Eudora joins the team with agency experience from Grey Vancouver and Optimum PR and has a wealth of writing experience as a Contributor to The Modline and Modern Mix Vancouver, two local lifestyle publications. Through her PR and writing experiences, Eudora has worked with a variety of industries and companies, delivering effective results and building strong working relationships. She thrives in the fast-paced world of event planning and managing as well as engaging in ever-evolving social media platforms to connect with others and build profiles and brands. When life hands Eudora lemons, it’s natural for her to make some thirst-quenching lemonade.
