About
As a Public Relations Manager consultant with the firm in late 2020 – Tim came on board as a staff member in 2021 as Marketing & Communications Manager. Since then, his responsibilities with the firm have broadened to include business development activities as of early 2023.
Before joining IEM, Tim worked in the campaign, legislative, and public affairs sectors. In these various roles, he developed the skills, capabilities, and passion to be a trusted advisor to clients, stakeholders, executives, and companies alike – including on strategic, social, and pragmatic approaches to complex and dynamic working environments.
Being a jack of all trades, Tim finds pleasure in working with IEM team members in a variety of departments offering sound advice, vision, and execution when it comes to marketing, media relations, communications strategy, and brand awareness.
