Cory Stewart and Embrace Disruption PR know social media. Cory is fast, quick witted and has a delightful personality that engages audiences across all the verticals he touches. Cory shows true passion in what he does and strives for results. In February 2012, Cory and I participated in a startup weekend together where he was able to grow over 700 followers for our startup's Twitter page in just two days.

Cory has helped The Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives increase our visibility amazingly over the past year. The first work we did together was on a multi-component interactive exhibit featuring the holdings of buttons at the Archives, which involved the launch of a website and a physical exhibition featuring a live web stream. Cory and the Embrace Disruption team were instrumental in obtaining significant coverage for the exhibit in a variety of media, which led to an increase of 30% traffic to our website during the course of the exhibit and the most visited exhibit to date. Cory took the time to understand the CLGA , our operations and our mission. He has the ability to find creative ways to raise our profile through traditional media and social media in a way that appeals and resonates with a wider audience. This in turns helps with fundraising and sponsorship efforts, which is of key importance for a smaller organization like the CLGA. If you want real Public Relations that works – where you now you will get results –  look to Cory.   We are. In 2013, the CLGA will celebrate its 40^th anniversary and we are thrilled that Cory will continue to guide our Public Relations during this exciting year.
