Government relations

Founded in 2001 by Mark Buzan, the driving force behind Action Strategies' success, we are able to draw upon more than 11 years of experience in communications and advocacy.

With thorough research skills, our broad experience in government, the private sector, and in the association world have allowed us to take complex issues and communicate them to media and stakeholders alike. Lead by the accomplishments of Mark Buzan, Action Strategies success include doubling and tripling attendance for annual events for two national associations, laying the groundwork for new sponsors to a growing association, and building government advocacy capacity of various non-profits.

Mark conducts communication audits to ensure the messages organizations wish to convey are in tune with their internal structures and present stock of materials.  Fully bilingual (French & English), Mark has written for various commercial websites, trade journals and newsletters.  He has been sought out to develop eye-catching sales copy and news articles. His successes have included coverage for clients on Fox Morning News, Bloomberg Business Newswire, the Atlantic Business Journal, Macleans Magazine, CTV and the Toronto Star to name just a few. His work with trade publications made the Canadian Construction Association a regularly quoted source for information on the industry.

The company was founded on the principle of giving hands-on, senior level attention only to clients. With Action Strategies, the first point of contact a client encounters is also the same person handling their account.
