We retained the services of Roxanne Deevey (Deevey Strategic Communications) to develop a communications strategy in the spring of 2020. Roxanne has demonstrated a clear expertise in the field and quickly understood the realities we were facing. She was also able to quickly adapt to our expectations and adjust the strategy to our ecosystem. We are currently working on implementing the strategy’s proposed actions and we are already seeing a great improvement in our communications, as well as our relationships with our collaborators and partners. Finally, Roxanne was professional, friendly and made herself available to answer our questions.

I took a training course offered by Roxanne with the goal of being more efficient and to convey my messages well during media interviews. Often, after a media interview, I was disappointed because I missed the opportunity to highlight the points I considered most important, or because I didn’t express myself clearly enough, was put on the spot, or I was disappointed that the reporter didn’t ask me “the right question” so that I could get my point across, etc… Well, this training not only allowed me to communicate my messages better, but to design them clearly even before doing the interview. I came out of it with really practical tools that I have already successfully used during my recent election campaign. I learnt a lot during this training on different aspects of communication and I feel much more in control and confident during interviews. I strongly recommend this training to anyone who is in contact with the media or who acts as a spokesperson. Thank you Roxanne!

Roxanne Deevey is a seasoned communications professional. When I called upon her services in the midst of the Resistance crisis (to save Ontario’s Francophone University and the independence of the Office of the French Language Services Commissioner), her serenity, active listening skills and professionalism contributed to the implementation of a strategic and methodical action plan that paid off. As Acting Director of Communications at the AFO, the communications strategies developed, the key messages deployed, and the ways in which she chose to communicate the issues have contributed to the success of the organization in pursuing its cause. If you’re looking for a communications expert, you’ve found her!

I absolutely love training with Roxanne… Her calm demeanor, combined with her sense of humour and expertise, keeps me interested and engaged throughout the session. And the bonus is that her training is practical and the learnings are easily transferable.

Based on the recommendations of another professional, our Francophone immigration network recently called upon Roxanne Deevey to develop its communications strategy. I was impressed by the way she quickly became familiar with our strategic framework from which the strategy was derived, allowing her to deliver a product that was customized rather than pre-made. Her very well oriented approach, coupled with her evident professionalism, made for a very easy and enjoyable collaboration. I found Roxanne attentive to client needs as well as the quality of her work while respecting deadlines. If given the opportunity, I would be pleased to work with her again.

While we were in the process of relaunching our organization, Roxanne Deevey became involved in understanding the challenges of our very small team. Her expertise, dedication and experience allowed the RGA to create clear messages to its members. Roxanne developed a communications plan that our team was able to deliver, and generated tangible results. Her expertise enabled us to develop key messages and a website with clear and inspiring content.
