Natalie Burgwin, Public Relations and Communications

Moving and shaking since 1985

Natalie Burgwin's Bio:

Natalie is an engaging, powerful communicator. A natural leader with an aptitude for smooth interpersonal communications and effective team building. Natalie is a quick learner, self-starter and motivated professional with global experience and a unique ability to motivate and inspire. She's skilled at communicating ideas, fostering relationships and connecting organizations with the public. Natalie is currently the Senior Manager, Public Relations at O2E Brands - the organization responsible for the global franchised brands, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, WOW 1 DAY PAINTING and You Move Me. Beyond that, Natalie works with various contracted clients on Media Relations, Corporate Communication, Social Media and Event Planning. A force within the city of Vancouver, you'll spot Natalie at events around town as she seems to raise her hand to contribute as much as she can to her community. Natalie is an engaging public speaker - always willing to train others to view the field of brand promotion as naturally as she does. She sits on the Professional Development Committee for the IABC, coordinates events for Media Leaders Vancouver, MC's as many weddings as her schedule will allow and spends Saturdays as a 'Big Sister' for a 14 year old girl who just might get into Public Relations one day. Natalie carries a zest for life, a compassion for people and strangely feels at home in front of an audience.
