Strategic Communications Leadership
Working with leaders to build trust where it's needed, aligned with organizational goals.
A Team Approach
Mike Donachie, Principal, is a strategic communications leader with deep experience in media, stakeholder engagement, and executive messaging.
At Kenmore Communications, he and his partners are ready to provide clear, practical support that supports authentic leaders in making an impact when it matters. The focus is on trust, authenticity, and meeting business goals.
We’re here to help you make an impact
I believe strong communication is the foundation of trust. Throughout my career in journalism and strategic communications leadership in corporate Canada, I’ve seen how organizations succeed, or struggle, based on how clearly they explain their purpose, decisions, and impact.
When communication is aligned, authentic, and focused on outcomes, it builds confidence, strengthens relationships, and supports better decisions. That’s especially true in moments that matter most: periods of change, risk, or opportunity.
Kenmore Communications exists to help organizations meet those moments with confidence that builds trust.
