When you search for pr agency Toronto, you’ll find Faulhaber – and for good reason. But what truly sets us apart isn’t just our strategic campaigns or national presence as a communications agency. It’s our deep commitment to community impact, investing in future female leaders, and championing change beyond client work.
Empowering the Next Generation of Women Leaders
Since 2016, Faulhaber has partnered with Toronto Metropolitan University’s Creative School to support emerging communicators through the annual Faulhaber Award – a 20‑year bursary awarded to a woman‑identifying student demonstrating drive and leadership in communications. In 2020, the award criteria were updated to prioritize women-identifying students from racialized communities, reinforcing our commitment to cultivating BIPOC leaders in the communications field.
This long-term partnership reflects Faulhaber’s belief that investing in education and access is one of the most powerful ways to create meaningful change within our industry.
Mentorship & Pro Bono Support for Women and BIPOC-Owned Businesses
In celebration of major agency milestones, Faulhaber launched two key programs: FConsults and FMentors. These initiatives offer pro bono services and mentorship for women-owned and BIPOC-owned businesses, as well as emerging professionals in the communications space.
FConsults provides complimentary strategic counsel from our senior leadership team, helping underrepresented founders build communications strategies that grow their businesses. To date, we’ve provided over $20,000 in consulting services through this program alone.
FMentors offers personalized mentorship opportunities for those entering the PR and digital marketing industries – creating a direct pathway for the next generation of diverse industry talent.
A Culture Built on Purpose and Inclusion
Faulhaber is proud to be a female-founded and female-led agency where values drive everything we do. Our agency culture is defined by inclusivity, creativity, and accountability – both to our clients and to each other.
We’ve committed to a team and vendor base with a minimum of 25% representation from BIPOC and/or LGBTQ2S+ communities, and we actively track and report our progress toward equity goals. Through our 1% for the Planet pledge, we also contribute a portion of our profits to environmental non-profits. Additionally, we’ve issued over 350 microloans to women entrepreneurs globally through our partnership with KIVA, supporting grassroots business growth around the world.
These programs reflect our belief that business success and social responsibility are not mutually exclusive, they’re fundamentally connected.
Award-Winning Strategy with a Human Focus
While Faulhaber is proud to have received multiple PR agency awards for our strategic communication, media relations, influencer campaigns, and brand storytelling, our proudest accomplishments come from impact beyond the screen or page.
Through our proprietary PoweredPR® model, we continue to deliver data-driven, creative, and integrated communications strategies for our clients – but we do so while championing ethics, equity, and empathy in everything we touch.
Faulhaber is redefining what it means to be a PR agency in Toronto. We are strategic, yes – but we’re also committed to doing business with integrity. We empower, support, and uplift women, BIPOC entrepreneurs, and emerging talent. Our work is designed not just to win awards, but to make a difference.
If you’re looking for a Toronto marketing agency that delivers more than results—one that delivers real impact—Faulhaber is ready to partner with you.
