Not only has Lea been doggedly determined and downright passionate about the opportunities that the 2010 Redpath Tall Ships Waterfront Festival represents for Toronto, she heard us express our needs for out of town marketing and then, found partners and ways to deliver a great marketing program. And, along the way, the outstanding way that Lea communicates has led to a shared vision of the project between all of the partners. It's a rare combination of talents.

Lea Parrell and Harmony Marketing did a phenomenal job of taking our social marketing platform and turning it into a compelling national public awareness campaign. From strategy to securing the right creative partners, to opening doors for us, to execution, she's amazing!

Every so often you get the opportunity to work with a person who gets it. Someone who has the ability to make good decisions. A person who understands the other point of view. A person who can lead people  in the right direction. A person who is a tireless worker. A person who will go to the wall for you. A person who has the ability to get people to cooperate. And above all a person who has passion. I have worked side by side with Lea Parrell for 17 years. She is that person.

Some people are great executors but lack creativity while others are creative but can’t follow thru with the vision. Lea is one of those rare individuals who possess both attributes, a creative mind combined with the ability to execute the idea.

My professional relationship with Lea Parrell began in the mid ‘90s when she was expanding the Sports Celebrities Festival into Quebec.  I found her to be extremely professional and an expert in numerous marketing areas.  The formula she created to take the SCF across the country was so successful we didn’t have to “re-invent the wheel”, just simply implement and execute to maximize revenues and produce a top level event. 

Over the years I also worked with Lea on a National Marketing & Sponsorship program that benefited all levels of the Special Olympics organization.  I found that she had a tremendous ability to work with a variety of corporations, especially at the CEO level, and create unique marketing programs that fit the needs of all parties.

I would highly recommend her and her company Harmony Marketing to any corporation that is looking for a variety of marketing expertise – she truly does “Broker unique opportunities”.
