Gestalt Communications was born from a merger of three highly respected firms: Incisive Strategy, Charter PR, and oneblueshirt. Each firm brought distinct expertise in public affairs, public relations, government relations, media, marketing, and brand strategy — both in Canada and on the global stage — transforming the perception and impact of their clients. This coming together has created a leadership team with over 30 years of collective experience in the communications industry.
Throughout our years of serving clients, we’ve observed a critical challenge: siloed communication strategies across different channels often result in unintended consequences that impact how organizations are perceived — from their reputation and leadership to their brand and products. Recognizing this gap, we united to offer more than just a one-stop shop for communications. We provide our clients with direct access to top-level leadership who deliver comprehensive, end-to-end strategies designed to achieve cohesive, impactful results.
At the core of our approach is the Gestalt philosophy: the whole is stronger and more effective than the sum of its parts. This principle is fundamental to successful communication. By aligning public relations, government relations, corporate communications, marketing, and media into a unified strategy, we help shape public perception in ways that build trust and drive influence.
Whether guiding clients through proactive storytelling or navigating complex crises, we ensure that every element of their communication works together seamlessly to achieve greater impact. In a world where perception defines success, Gestalt Communications is committed to helping our clients tell their whole story.
