COLOUR ATTRACTS PUBLIC AFFAIRS STRATEGIST, ED WARK

Longtime public affairs strategist Ed Wark is joining Colour as a principal in the firm’s Halifax head office.
 
Since 1992, Wark has worked in a variety of senior roles for elected officials and decision makers in Nova Scotia, British Columbia and Ottawa.  He recently served four years as provincial secretary to the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party, following three years as manager of outreach for the NDP Caucus Office.  He also played a lead role in the expansion of public transit in the Greater Vancouver Area as a ministerial advisor and managerial consultant, starting in the late 1990s.  
 
“Ed Wark comes highly recommended as someone who is smart, well organized and diligent,” said Chris Keevill, Colour’s president and chief executive officer.  “Our managing partners believe Ed will be a great help in working with our clients on both the public affairs and marketing sides of the business to achieve meaningful change.”
 
Wark will start officially at Colour on April 6.  In addition to Keevill, senior vice president, marketing, Larry MacEachern, and senior vice president, public affairs, Rob Batherson, will be working closely with Wark to introduce him to clients, colleagues and partners.
 
“It’s exciting to be joining Colour at a time when communications is changing dramatically,” said Wark.  “After considering a number of professional opportunities in the marketplace, I felt I would be able to do my best work with the team at Colour.”
