FEATURED PROJECT / CBC

Celebrating a pioneer of Brazilian jiu-jitsu

A milestone celebration for Marcus, a long-term Longhouse client, became an opportunity to tell the story of his contribution to Brazilian jiu-jitsu in Canada.

My contribution
Researched journalist interests, identified a relevant CBC contact, and developed a targeted pitch around the gym’s 30th anniversary.
The outcome
A CBC evening news feature that helped bring recognition to Marcus as “The Father of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Canada.”

HOW I WORK

The pitch starts
before the writing.

01

Understand the story.

Ask questions, find the useful angle, and get clear on why it matters.

02

Know the journalist.

Read their work, understand their beat, and look for a meaningful fit.

03

Follow through.

Keep people informed, coordinate the details, and respect deadlines.

03 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Curious by nature.
Thoughtful by practice.

I’m interested in the people behind a business, the ideas they believe in, and the stories that help others understand them.

My PR experience at Longhouse spans media outreach, journalist research, press releases, award submissions, business storytelling, and B2B campaign support. I studied public relations at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

Originally from the Philippines and now based in British Columbia, I bring curiosity, empathy, and a hands-on approach to my work. I’m continuing to develop my practice in strategic communications and media relations.
