Strategic Objectives, Canada’s most award-winning PR agency, has been named Agency of Record for Public Relations and Influencer Marketing for Groupe Marcelle, the largest cosmetic manufacturer in Canada. Following a competitive review, the agency was selected to lead public relations and influencer strategies across the company’s portfolio of brands including Lise Watier, Marcelle, Annabelle Cosmetics, and CW Beggs & Sons.
Strategic Objectives has been a proud partner of Groupe Marcelle since 2017, working with the company’s internal social media team to build its social and digital presence in Canada. This new mandate expands the agency’s involvement to include public relations, product launches and seasonal brand previews.
“We are thrilled to deepen our relationship with Groupe Marcelle as its agency of record,” says Judy Lewis, Strategic Objectives co-founder and partner. “Our team has become integrally involved in Groupe Marcelle priorities and we look forward to continuing to increase awareness and working in a more integrated manner across PR and Social Media.”
