Ethos —

We created Nine Point to redefine what a PR agency can do. We partner with our clients to develop brands that defy expectations and centre on progress.

With a history of building successful companies, a deep understanding of emerging industries and an ongoing commitment to non-profit and community-based organizations, we take an entrepreneurial approach to our work.

You can’t control the elements, but you can control how you move through them.
