Public relations for architects and designers

David Lasker Communications is a public relations firm in Toronto, Ontario. We work with architects, designers, builders and suppliers across Canada and the US. (See what our clients are saying.)

We have the bandwidth to service you: We’re part of the team at Oomph Group, which helps firms in the design space with integrated marketing and business development plans.

Our niche is media relations for architecture and design, and for good reason. Our founder, David Lasker, has held key roles as editor and writer at several notable North American design publications, including:

• Canadian Interiors (Editor‐in‐Chief)
• Interior Design (Canadian correspondent)
• The Globe and Mail (Fashion and Design Editor, Architecture and Classical Music Editor, Fine Arts Editor)
• The Los Angeles Times (Design columnist)
• OfficeInsight (Canadian correspondent)
• Canadian House and Home (member, editorial board)

He has presented his “PR 101 for Architects and Designers” and design-trends seminars at trade shows and conventions for:

• Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO)
• Association of Architectural Technologists of Ontario (AATO)
• Construct Canada
• IIDEX NeoCon
• Ontario Association of Architects (OAA)
• SIDIM Salon du Design

David’s design stories have appeared in over 100 periodicals, from Architectural Digest to Zoomer. His writing expertise helps ensure strong results for our clients in the A&D community. Find out more about what we do.

With David Lasker Photography, we provide superb images and text.
