Managing Director

Natalie Harper is the managing director of Harper PR - an independent marketing communications consultancy specializing in creating standout brands by connecting people to people through compelling content and collaborations.

Prior to starting Harper PR in 2011, Natalie worked for some of the most accomplished and awarded marketing agencies in Canada where she was responsible for managing projects for brands in nearly every sector and vertical industry.

She is noted for her keen attention to detail, as well as her ability to create compelling and integrated campaigns that inform, engage or assist audiences while driving tangible results. Her experience and diverse skillset are unmatched in the Alberta PR landscape, which has helped Harper PR emerge as one of Western Canada’s most sought after consultancies by brands around the world.

Natalie started Harper PR with the sole purpose to use the power of public relations to help people and communities. As such, she only works with brands who demonstrate an authentic and genuine intent to give back to their communities through meaningful social responsibility programs.

However, she also believes in giving back herself. In addition to volunteering her time to sit on various committees and boards, she has given more than $350,000 through in-kind services to various non-profits or arts groups since starting Harper PR.

Natalie was a finalist for a 2016 Notable Award, named a finalist in the Best in Business #Yeggie Award category (2013), as well as named a finalist for the Deloitte Women of Influence award in Edmonton (2010). In 2022, she was awarded the coveted Jamie Affleck Legacy Award at the 2022 Alair International Conference and Awards.
